Evan Andreou Posted June 1, 2007 Share The whole haemocrit 50 % thing is a thumb suck figure by the UCI. Not sure if it is Cunego' date=' but I recall reading an article that his natural haemocrit level is about 56% and is genetic as his father also has a high level.[/quote'] Yep it is Cunego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger Posted June 1, 2007 Share The whole haemocrat thing is very difficult to assertain wheather its 50% as a high normal value, somewhere someone will always have abnormal values, the fairest way would be to moniter a rider from the time he/she turns professional, AND where there are abnormal increases in a short period ie 3-6 months then the values could be examined.Cunego could well have a high natural level as did Mr. ArmstrongThe thing about Indurain and Lance is that they were Physically and Mentally stronger than their contemperies from their respective generations. A great read is Paul Kimmages Rough RideHe was the first to open his Lunchbox and share stories of the Peleton, a bitter resentful wounded ex-pro bent on exposing the Pro Peleton and what was really happening.... some excellent stories in there... Riders named. He was give quite a rough treatment by his fellow riders and left the sport to become a jounalist.... a good one at that!Another I left off the list is Laurent Brochard, that guy.....!
