Fausto Coppi of Italy, who won the Tour in 1949 and 1952, was once
asked if he ever fueled himself with amphetamines.
“Only when necessary,†he said.
How often was that?
“Most of the time,†Coppi replied.
Jacques Anquetil of France, a five-time winner, once said with
sarcasm, “Do they expect us to ride the Tour on Perrier water?â€

If I thought EPO might make a difference, I may consider it. But there are 2 things stopping me (only 2 ).sogood wrote:Yeah... I always wondered about those Scott CF bike riders!moosterbounce wrote:Looks like Iban Mayo has been caught for EPO use. Damnit
Firstly, I faint and throw up (simultaneously) at the sight of a needle so could never inject myself.
Secondly, to get through all the fat I'd need a REALLY BIG needle thus calling my first issue into play in a really big way.
S'pose there was a reason I ride the CR1 and Mayo rode the ummm... Addict!!

Injecting into the fat layer is not an issue. You are fine there.moosterbounce wrote:Secondly, to get through all the fat I'd need a REALLY BIG needle thus calling my first issue into play in a really big way.

Well, riding an addict bike really does attract attention doesn't it? Silly Mayo!
