From what I understand EPO for example is out of your system in a few days while it's effects last for a week or longer.
That is a perfectly good example to answer your question
Well... not really! In fact testing for EPO using blood is actually just to determine if Urine testing is warranted. Using blood they only check to see if there an unusual blood profile, where as with Urine they check for the presents of the EPO drug itself. Point is, with a blood test, nothing other than an unusual blood profile would show up. (If EPO was actually being used) That also includes testing the blood right after the fight since "it's effects last for a week or longer".
