Doping Technology 2014

As a more general point there are huge risks involved with gene therapy.

That has never stopped some elite athletes.

Thank you for the explanation.

Of course not, we saw that with GW1516, but that point was more to do with developing it in general. Good point though.

No worries. I do think some may try it, if and when it comes on the scene properly, but unless it can be tailored to suit healthy people which is not at all what it will be aimed to do, I can't see it being much benefit.


However, methods to force over expression of certain proteins as blackcat hints at would be of huge interest to athletes. I'll have a look into that.

What a shame we, the Fans, have no info about this important factor of our Sport and have to just speculate in The Clinic. It's like the bike info or route details were secret as well...

Imagine the cycling TV commentary if this information was be available and the Riders and Teams were proud of it:

...and here we have an attack of Turbodor who got his last blood shot yesterday, and Grooom cannot respond! Remember his team soigneur complained about problems with bloodbags earlier this year, can this be a factor?
Also, both are more or less equal on HGH, but Turbodor is not as good responder on weightloss medications in what concerns the power conservation.
And Grooom inhales! Last hope for the team Hell rider. None of the riders have yet used their motors that give them the boost of several tens of watts for up to 5 minutes, they are wisely saving the kick for the final steep part of the climb...

What a triller would this be!
