Some nice reading here:stephens said:You want to know what makes doping sound attractive? It's all the posts on here from certain folks that claim things like 'Armstrong's natural hemocrit is 41 and he probably gets a 25% improvement at 46 and 50% improvement at 53,' or whatever it is that gets posted on here. My hemocrit is 39 and if I was a young racer instead of the old dude I now am, I'd be tempted by that kind of statement to get in on it.
So if you want to keep the kids off the dope, stop making it sound so damn effective.

Ah!, they don't have to look into this forum, there is plenty of reading on the internet.
