You are right. Thor Hushovd definitely tried to prepare himself illegally in order to be ready for the most important race of his season, the Challenge Mallorca.

You must be a doper! Food poisining, pfft, must be doping.

Yeah, I do like everyone does. But I can't tell about it, Omerta, ya know?

The reason the pros get stomach bugs so often is because they eat 7000-11 000 calories a day. When the body has to process that much food it is bound to get cranky once in a while...

Why don't they have medical programs to fix their stomachs as they do with their oxygen carrying capacity?

...they eat 7000-11 000 calories a day...

30 h/w @ 240W = 25000 kcal

That makes it roughly 3600 kcal/day plus 2000 kcal basal metabolic rate = 5600 kcal/day or 5000-6000 kcal/day.

Over double the recomended amount for an average adult.

Laquale says cyclists in the Tour de France commonly consume a paltry 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day.

12 000 cals for Phelps....
