    Timing of EPO in early 90's that doesn't add up..

    Was linked to this couple year old video of John Tomac and turns out among many topics, he has a few anecdotes about drugs in cycling and EPO in particular. Anyway, mentions his view on when he felt EPO was already influencing road racing he was involved in. Those specific comments are around...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 4 (Post-Settlement)

    And others that are STILL prepared to moan on and on about Armstrong's transgressions from 15-20 years ago every time there's a news article about him. Also equally ready to ball-wash for their own hero as well. Different strokes for different folks.

    Dave Brailsford - cycling genius

    Re: Re: The confusion may have stemmed from one of your quotations on the previous page - the quotation function made it look like Sam's words were attributed to you. Reading back far enough, one can see it was Sam's words, not yours, but might not be evident to someone not reading back far...

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    Returning to the data, if Dr. Swart or anyone else with a sports science interest/background is reading, any thoughts on the above questions?

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    I’m not sure what a discrepancy would mean and didn’t make any suggestions that it would indicate anything nefarious – only that it could be an area of discussion should it have existed. I was only suggesting that maybe a large discrepancy is an example of a scenario that might fuel some...

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    I could be wrong, but I wonder if people might be suggesting that if there was a drastically different type of heart rate response in the testing vs the leaked heart rate data - that that might be of interest. If the testing showed heart rate data upwards of 185 or something like that as an...
