Similar in Italy.
More efforts about doping clearance would help, although as Trux wrote it can be costly and perhaps utopistic - see other sports.
However, increasing your blood quality is not the key to everything. Breathholding would benefit from it, but in DYN resistance, technique (and a good mono) are equally important parameters. In CWT and other depth disciplines, I personally think that equalization technique is the main asset.
I wonder if there are any drugs that help in this respect?
