PPWTF Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 US cycling pretty much openly (known withing the sport) used blood doping at the '84 games.... http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1119061/index.htm
intern Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Hey The Pirate nice to see you albeit briefly at Kyalami yesterday. On to your question - they used brandy' date=' amphetamines, cocaine, opium - anything they could lay their grubby paws on. Quite hectic to say the least! (Imagine riding your bike after chowing a few Eckies and a coupla double branners and cokes...and a line. Skrew that I'd be on the couch playing Playstation or busting some moves on the dance floor...) [/quote'] I wonder if they had Vicks with them when they rode on the Eckies.... They'd be fools not to! (well OK I snuck the ecky in there, but that was only really invented quite a bit later on, although it is an amphetamine of one or another kind).
BigGuy Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 So you want to put the guy that's genetically superior at a disadvantage?<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />That?s like the main Alpha Male of the Lion pride telling the weaker Male Lion it is ok to mate with some of the dominant lionesses because he feels sorry for him? [/quote'] I like that handicap idea. Similar to: I weigh 100kg, you weigh 70kg. Lets add 30kg of leadshot to your hydration pack to even things out...
Marius Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 BigGuy, you know that's not fair! you "Bigger" guys kick so much more power out on the flats, we skinny guys have a hard time following - climbing on the other hand is another story:-P
BigGuy Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 BigGuy' date=' you know that's not fair! you "Bigger" guys ... [/quote'] And WHAT EXACTLY is meant with that term??? It is not my fault that I fell into the cauldron with magic potion when I was a baby! Next time, please use terms such as "muscley", "genetically gifted" or "way above average"!
Jean-Jay Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I am in the US at the moment and I met a guy here that used to race for the Canadian national team a good few years ago. So we were like talking and I asked him why he stopped? He told me that after one of the blood transfusions he had a bad experience in a race.. he blanked out and crashed.. broke his shoulder etc. and after that he got a really good job offer outside of cycling and decided to move on as he took a while to recover. Lol the funny thing was we were not even talking about doping. So i was like "Blood transfusions?" and he was like yeah it helped with our performance. He did not mention doping or anything' date=' he spoke about it as i would talk about cytomax. I gathered that is what they did back then before it was illegal. [/quote'] that is scary.... so nonchalant about it - just an accepted form of behaviour
