A columnist in Time magazine reports that for the comeback, Armstrong used a "high-heat" technique that "floods" the body with natural EPO. It involves swallowing a small thermometer. I have heard of the thermometer, as I believe Lim monitored internal temperature as part of his cooling methods (ice vests, etc.), but I have never heard of the "high-heat" technique. Anyone know anything more about this? Link to the article below.
