Re:
Greg time and again makes himself look stupid with comments such as "if I would have had a blood transfusion or EPO it would have sped up my recovery dramatically" Which also points to the reason you can't trust what he says with respect to when certain drugs came into the peloton or why he has said certain things and not said certain things. Not because I think he is a total liar but because he is so dammm inconsistent. You can't really follow what he had or did not have wrong with him during the shooting recovery or after. No idea.
I don't see him holding a prescription for EPO either. One would have to be in his medicine cabinet to know the 100% truth on the matter.djpbaltimore said:Look at the top of this page for your answer. I guess LeMond is not aware that EPO requires longer to generate RBCs, so that is why trauma patients receive transfusions. Makes sense as he is not a doctor. If EPO was beneficial for this use, wouldn't Amgen be marketing it for that very purpose? I guess they just don't want that money. Plus, in the time period where he was injured it wasn't in widespread use. This confirms my point that the likelihood that he had a medical prescription for EPO was essentially 0%.
