Better than EPO?

[bommels]

The next generation of performance boosters is around the corner. Bue does this actually count as a PED? In any case, a urine-based test is easily devised, methinks.

Going the all natural method Bit like this link that i posted a month or two back. Scroll all the way down and read the last part:

Lastly, use mustard?

Athletes turned off by the latest biotech breakthroughs can try this recipe: Strip down and rub mustard oil all over your body.

While exploring the role skin plays in the production of red blood cells, Randy Johnson's team of researchers at UC San Diego found that rubbing mustard oil on mice caused spikes in natural EPO production, and that led to increased red blood cell levels.

It's unclear how much mustard oil a human athlete would need to enhance performance, or how much mustard oil could lead to strokes and heart attacks.

With all the crazy, complicated doping schemes out there could the journey to the top of the podium simply require a trip to the grocery store?

Just image rolling up to the start of a race and some guy reeks of mustard. LOL

Note to self

eating the hot dog as well is not performance enhancing

 

[Izoard]

Someone help me set up a beet juice IV with a mustard chaser!

 

[red_explosions]

Where's BigBoat when you need him? Surely he predicted half the peloton were smacked up on the filthy beet?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I suppose none of you kids are old enough to have gotten a mustard plasterwhen you were growing up?

Yes, good link/story.

Oh my fricken gawd , how could I have forgotten that. I could breathe so much better. I gotta go to the store.....see ya....

It has been known for years, Dr Jones from Exeter read about years ago.
My Granny used it to cleanse and boost the blood cycling racing fell running and long distance running after coming back from Russia after the war.
Not new but worth a look.
Just watch it on your white shorts or yellow jersey, they have been stained enough recently...................
Does darken yer st++l

The future is genetic drugs that manipulate DNA. It's going to blow away EPO, and be virtually undetectable unfortunately. I think we are a good 20+ years away from that, so enjoy your endurance sports until then.

DNA passport at the jr level should make it easy to find out who is cooking theirs.

But guarantees that I'm not messing with the DNA of my unborns now? I know pretty well what made me fast, and what held me back. Some shorter limbs, and less astma, that would make me quite irritatingly quick.

my only worry about the test...

After drinking beetroot juice the group was able to cycle for an average of 11.25 minutes - 92 seconds longer than when they were given the placebo.


11 minutes.. is that it.. who the hell where these unfit idiots they tested on who could only cycle for 11 minutes..

Yeah. They sorta omitted that info. See, you have to have a body fat percentage of 30% or higher and weigh at least 240 lbs. Your cholesterol has to be at least 280 or higher.

But if you meet the criteria this can get you to the next level. Pretty soon they will be riding for 15 minutes...

 

[ggusta]

isn't ep-no dessicated beet root and liver ?

i think their site is dedicatedathlete.com or something like that.

 

[Anonymous]

No I don't think that's how it worked. It says they were test a number of tests on the excersize bike. I presume this particular one was a set distance they had to achieve.

i think they where just overweight, unfit, and the fact that they had actually had a vegetable pass their lips meant they could cycle for 11 minutes

Beetroot Juice - the new PED?

http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/culture/beetroot-boosts-sports-stamina-20090810-efag.html

Will we see cyclists filling their bidon's with beetroot juice?

If so, I hope it doesn't make them turn pink like carrot juice makes you turn orange!

 

[Martin318is]

Its only early days for the research but I can see it eventually becoming a pill form and athletes chowing down on them. (Can't see myself drinking upwards of 500ml of beetroot juice daily for the whole season)

Isn't that a vegetable so it's not cheating to eat/drink it. it's like saying pasta is a performing enhancing drug because it gives you lots of carbs and therefore have more energy.

 

[unsheath]

Depends if it's been spun through a centrifuge first.

I'm pretty sure I saw beetroot supplements aimed specifically at cyclists a few years ago.

But in any case you can get them at health food shops etc as I believe it's also good for people with high blood pressure.

Don't you have a sense of humour???

If a vegetable was chasing them, they could cycle indefinitely.....

Here's the link to Ep-No

I started to use this and then all kinds of stuff happened and I stopped riding for awhile (like 5 months) so I still think I have two bottles in the cabinet. Can't recall any difference, then again, I am not a very dedicated athlete.

A riding buddy swears by it. I take that with a grain of salt.
