It is IC where its use is believed to be most widespread, both in finishing bottles at the front of the race by those going to for the win and as a Mother's Little Helper at the back of the race by those just trying to hang on. It is IC where its use is most feared, because of the many claims it causes crashes.
LOL, I had forgotten how relevant that song is to the peloton:
What a drag it is getting old
"Racing’s different today,"
I hear ev'ry rider say
They need something today to make them fast
And though they’re not really ill
There are lots of little pills
They go running for the shelter of a rider’s little helper
And it helps them on the pace, gets them through the biggest race
"Things are different today, "
I hear ev'ry domest’ say
Riding in front of the pack’s just a drag
So they buy some instant cells, and they ride like bloody hell
And go running for the shelter of a rider’s little helper
And it help them on the climbs, they get a faster time
Doctor please, some more of these
Inside the bus, give to us
What a drag it is getting old
"Sponsors aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry rider say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
But they’re not hard to fool, you can raise your V02
So go running for the shelter of a rider’s little helper
And it helps them sure as fate, helps to minimize lactate
Doctor please, some more of these
Inside the bus, give to us
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today, "
I hear ev'ry rider say
The pursuit of results just seems a bore
And if they take more of those, they will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a rider’s little helper
They just helped them till they can’t, through their final jour sans
