"Used to do"???

lol do you think runners are any different? all pro sports are the same

They have to get up and instantly run or. Use the bike because they’re heart rate is sooooo low after sleeping

"used" ? You dont know anything about cycling do you!?

It's funny how people say "LOL 'USED TO DO', OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE STILL DOING IT HURR DURR" as well as "HURR DURR EVERY SPORT IS OBVIOUSLY DOING IT TOO HURR DURR" even though these people have presented zero evidence whatsoever to support their claims. Weird, isn't it? Not saying it doesn't happen, there's probably the odd athlete or two using drugs, but in the interviews I've seen and read with people connected with cycling, they always say it's much better now than it was. So unless I see evidence that support the idea that a rider has doped then I'm not going to jump to a conclusion and I think it's pretty dense to do so. Yes we should be aware of what has been reported as still happening in the peloton, like micro-doping, and dosing at night because they can't be tested between 11pm and 6am or something. But I've seen nothing tying this to any rider in particular. It could be the winning guys, or it could be the guys near the back who otherwise can't keep up, who knows.

They're receiving type specific, packed RBC's, so it's not an issue. I work in blood banking and hematology. Whole blood can be an issue because it contains all blood components, including anti-bodies (Ab) antigens (Ag) and white blood cells. Still, as long as it's typed as compatible to the rider, it will be fine. In blood banking and hospitals, Oneg blood is known as emergency release blood because it can be universally transfused. My guess would be the riders are actually receiving type specific blood, or, here's the best way: autologous RBC's. Autologous blood is your own blood. What blood dopers do is pull their blood at different intervals months before the event, they preserve the blood, and let their blood cells compensate, and then rinse and repeat. Now, your own blood, autologous, is available during competition.

@@pereirahawk I hope they would get the type right. Hopefully your explanation is what they meant, and not just a happy accident from a big mistake

he has stick out ears he had short hair before Now when his hair is long u can't notice his ears which mean his face is more appealing to look at

He’s no longer doped up to his eyes

I think is the tan and hairstyle.

He’s a good guy, he has said giving testimony and being honest has made him feel much better - it shows!

Surely the thicker your blood is , the increased risk of clots and strokes ?

They often train at altitude for 3 weeks or so before a race to raise their natural rbc. Then they take a few bags of blood out, keep in the fridge and re-insert the day of the race. Presto. And nigh impossible to detect.

Centrifuges have been key equipment for every self respecting doper and cycling team since the 80s, at the very least.

The hematocrit goes up because during the long stage races it gradually falls over 2000km or more, and they want to replenish it back to where it was before the Tour de France. It doesn’t need to be modified blood but just their state before the stage race.

Maybe it's the effect of coming out and telling all. Keeping too many secrets really destroys your mind and body

It's an autologous blood transfusion, i.e. his own blood being infused. He ran no risk of contracting HIV, unless his bag was mixed up with a positive cyclist.

Which it was one time.

😮​@@rebelscum75

You know lance has a natural low hematocrit? Blood doping gives him a bigger boost than someone with a high hematcrit

typical comment of people who watch sports only on tv and know nothing about it.

You're kidding yourself.

@@manusiaganteng2753 i believe his comment was sarcastic ;)

Lololol
