Sorry about not answering as i have been spending alot of time in the hospital the past week and a half. OK The point of the thread is that there is an existing medication that would seem to be a ped that is not listed on the banned list. Froome for example has a lower heartrate than most and...

I took my mother to the doctor as she was having problems with blood pressure. They prescribed a drug that dilates blood vessels significantly as well as releases existing chemicals in the body that improve oxygen absorbtion. I don't want to mention the drug but it seems to be very effective. I...

Re: LeMond Sorry i just picture this conspiracy and it is too funny Amgen employee #1 "Hey there is some Mexican at the door. claims he knows about our top secret project"? AE#2 " you can't mean Pro Crit, " #1 "exactly right. Claims he knows all about it and wants some to stick his boss with...

Re:

One thing no one has mentioned that i could see, is that EPO and similar drugs have seen their use curtailed here in the US because of so many heart attacks in patients. My father was getting EPO periodically during his chemo. He had been getting chemo for quite awhile when they told us that...

I agree. All i could think of when i was watching today was that all the best riders in the world had been ridden off his wheel and then he put in a HUGE acceleration 7km out. His attack was so quick and powerful it is like he went from 14 mph climbing pace to 20 mph pace. From a long way out...

If some of you still think blood doping was possible in a gran tour in the summer in the 1980's here is a little more info from a google search on proper blood storage "When you store human blood and its components, there's little or no room for error. Red cells and whole blood, for instance...

Ok even though Wiggo addressed this i want to chime in First you really believe that the logistics between a single day race and a three week tour in regards to the storage and transportation of blood are remotely similar? Especially in the early 1980's? It appears that is your contention, if...

+1 :D to the OP make sure your repaired frame never gets back into circulation. I had a friend who had a similar repair done, loaned the frame to a friend for his windtrainer and eventually,it got sold. My friend tried to track it down but was unable to get it back. He found out it changed...

As was mentioned the technology available at the time in the 1980's to facilitate blood doping was pretty much nonexistent. Think about this as it puts it all in perspective at least to me. Greg Lemond mentioned once about how they used to sleep in the hallways on hot nights as alot of the...

actually a few years back when they were talking about a Lance movie the fav to play him was jake gyllenhaal. They actually were seen riding alot on PCH, then the brokeback jokes started and the movie was set aside. Years ago Steve Tesich(breaking away) was working on a screenplay on the tour...

the hog is right on this one. It's like the old law school saying when you have the law on your side you pound on the law when you have the facts on your side you pound on the facts when you have neither you pound the table. In this case the fraud predates the original contract, you...

Personally I think what racing will return to is much more of a management of resources game. In the 80's it was not so much the big attack putting time into your opponent. It was more about how to limit your losses when your opponent attacked you.Good days are then followed by bad days. If you...

You know i have no idea and frankly could care less. But as far as earnings go Mike Tyson earned between 300 and 400 million during his career and ended up bankrupt with debts of about 23 million.:eek: that is not peanuts that is quite a sum to go through so it is possible. In addition Lance...
