That is a great study. Thanks for sharing it. I really found Figure 6 very illuminating and as you point out it supports the relationship between VO2max and total blood volume. I'm now pretty much on the same page as you but I would caution that these studies are based on body weight...

Thanks. I can't access the study but read the abstract. Also, I'm just a bloke who rides a bike so I have no special insights into these areas. Having said that, the study was probably done with people who were relatively steady in the weight over the period they were measured. Changes in...

By my math a change from 82kg to 74kg using your numbers is a 10.8% increase in power to weight (or 11%, not 10% as in your post). Sorry if I missed it but what is the basis for assuming that power is directly related to total plasma?

Was the driver ever identified?

I've found them both very gracious and likeable. Had Andy won I would have been quite pleased although I have been cheering Cadel on since stage 1. He will become a great champion ..... if he doesn't get too distracted by the trappings of success.

Do you get the impression that Cadel has no friends in the peleton?

Why would they only ask for the '99 samples?

How to be sun smart? Hi, with summer and sun coming I've been thinking about how to be sun smart. Best protection (especially for extended and sweaty rides) I would think is to cover up. I've been searching and my findings to date: -Face: Sunglasses & sunscreen -...

Back to topic - I think Lance is getting some serious training again. When would he need to start peaking for the TDF? Also I remember last year he rode in Hawaii...has he done anything like that this year?

Those who wrongly accuse others of being trolls

Two questions to ask oneself: 1. Why am I so passionate about convincing everyone that Lance used PEDs? 2. Why can't I leave this thread alone so those who have an alternate view of Lance can discuss rationally, without the aggro & abuse?

Berzin, Do you own the Forum that you feel so compelled to destroy the thread? Anyone reading this thread will see your behaviour for what it is. Anyway I believe I made my points and this is the point to move on, so no more posts from me on this thread. It's a pity because there are a...

Thanks for your question and not flaming. Ultimately what I am saying is that it is possible and valid to have a view that Lance did not use performance enhancing drugs. That reading this forum you might think that was not the case. A fair (in my opinion) view of the facts is that it is...
