How It Feels to Dope
I’ve heard similar stories from old bike racers who were there, and the most eye-opening was how Lance got away with it for so long. The tales are told to media like me with confidence and agreements that we’re off the record. All of them wanted me to know what really happened and I’ve not broken those confidences. I hope more share like Chris Haley did publicly on his Facebook. If enough of his peers are incensed by motor doping, perhaps we’ll hear more about how doping felt, the how, and why. To the why, it’s way more complex than a personal failure or being a cheater. Once the money is followed, and that back story brought forward, we’ll understand even better dopers, and doping in the sport.
EPO and what the facts are about the edge you get, you keep hearing about the tests and the suspensions….but the riders never tell you what the effects are…..Your bones are hollowed out because the renal gland in your kidney secretes EPO to tell your bone marrow to make blood…check out the guys who are suspended and how often they break collar bones when they hit the deck…bones are brittle with EPO abuse…Check out how many dopers drop out of the Tour after a rest day…My body was wretched when i was shooting 40,000 units every Friday, every ounce of protein and nutrition is used to make blood instantly…you feel like you have the flu for two days…alot of riders drop out due to Flu or Stomach “virus’s” after a “rest” day. Ferritin is an intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. When you have a spike in Ferritin marker, it signifies the usage of EPO, its making iron overnight ….in huge quantities. So if they tell you they cant find EPO …with the dilution of Saline bags IV….look at the other markers. Epo usage is like groundhogs day ,….they are never tired, its an act when they ride up the Alps, all of them are waiting to pull the trigger….remember the “Look” at Ullrich….ATMO. Im posting this, because alot of people are texting me about it…no rider has ever spoken about how it is night and day. It brings the basket ball hoop to 5' off the ground….. We got to clean the sport up from the bottom up, now that the drug tests are better, they have motors in the bikes…..from the bottom up, thats the only solution. Oh yeah, I used it with Chemo…..hemanocrit was 21…..had to bring it back to 48….I had no “rest” days and didnt Tap Out…
