Re: Re:
To just clarify something here: the blood doping thread I started, the one seeking info on blood doping's early years, was not created to expressly build a case for far earlier blood doping in the peloton (though I readily and sadly accept that some have sought to hijack it to prove that hypothesis). While I believe that blood transfusion were more widespread in the 1980s that the historical record currently suggests, I would accept that they were still somewhat limited: key riders in key teams. It is unfortunate that we cannot talk about such things as adults without seeing the conversation taken over and turned into something resembling Reddit at its worst.gillan1969 said:we have had threads started to expressly build a case for far earlier peloton adoption of epo, widespread blood doping in the peloton throughout the 80s
