Probably. Also it's pretty hard to not be fairly lean due to the amount of training them, and all elite athletes do. A typical world class WL'r will lift twice a day 5-6 days a week, each session an hour to 2 hours in duration, plus they will do plyometrics, and sprint training usually. They typically are training 15-25 hours a week, every week. At that level of caloric expenditure, it's difficult to not be lean. I have a friend who trained at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) as part of the US WL team. While there his diet was typically between 5,000 and 7,000 calories a day while competing at a body of 77-80 kgs (170-176lbs).

Sounds like some very interesting stuff. The researchers were primarily interested in learning whether the young men's athletic performance improved — it did, and markedly so. At maximum effort, the men's performances improved by 9 to 16 percent. But at a slightly lower level of exertion, performance improved by 50 percent, Lundby said. Athletes taking EPO can go 50 percent longer at that somewhat lower level of effort, which can make a major difference in an endurance event like the Tour de France or a marathon, Lundby said

if you read the entire article in pertains to testosterone also...but actually I'd be interested to know if EPO would actually help with lifts. Yes I know that EPO is primarily used for endurance sports and the snatch is anaerobic...who knows.
