      Just because they are much faster than you doesn't mean they are on peds. They are great about random tests.

    I have a friend racing in India, he tells me EPO is available over the counter at the pharmacy but the physician won't offer any advice on its use. It's my understanding that EPO is undetectable within as little as four hours after injection. So the risks of getting caught must be tiny. This being said, I believe Lance's doctor had him on anabolic steroids as well because if you're training far harder from the benefits of EPO you need steroids to boost recovery. No doubt you then start a cycle requiring more drugs to offset one from the other. Hide this, mask that etc. I'm sure no athlete really wants to take drugs. By this I mean I do believe Lance when he said it was a case of take them or go home. In those days there really was little choice when the majority, if not all top pro riders were taking PED's.

    Be interesting to hear why you think it's rife (not that I agree or disagree), is it anecdotal or do you have specific examples that you can highlight. Also what is your source for the cost? No idea if it's something you can Google and buy from a dodgy dealer or do you need a sports science lab. More insight into this would be really enlightening.

      Thanks for the comment, this type of thing really interests me, I have. a few more slightly deeper videos which go into it abit more coming, For me firstly doping is rife in most sports at the top end especially in cycling and running, so in my opinion there is no reason why this would not be the case in triathlon. I feel the sport in general comes across as quite soft where everyone is perfect and nobody would dare to cheat, when in reality for me its just bollocks as cheating occurs everywhere so why not in triathlon. I think in a time where technological advancements are so big and there has been this huge growth in both science and performance, doping will be as high as ever where people can cheat the system so to speak as 1 the testing system isn't the best, especially over the last few years, and two as the sport comes into more money I feel the temptation will be far higher where there's more pressure to perform from both sponsors and from personal pressure etc. yes you ca buy it off the internet but for this to be administered as safely as possible I just do not see it being a viable option on your own, the risks are far too high and the chances of a slip up I would say are relatively high. Furthermore mircodosing this is even more complicated from a dosage point of view , time spread between dosing, mixed with when your doing to be drug tested etc. so The how you do it becomes very important.

      Drug tested ?
      I am in athletics and it is too expensive to test. At the national level over all the categories.... 4 tests an of course the first of the men and women categories are test which leaves 2 more tests which were fir the 3rd of the same categories. So it leaves freedom to dope and not ever being caught. I have 6 national medals as a trainer did so many competitions in many sports... no even heard of someone I know being tested.
      That said I am waiting to the the Norwegian Triathletes fall to drog abuse... I can't wait 😊

    Some of these racers aren’t rich in the running world so they need to be at the top look at the African runners do you think they wouldn’t do whatever it takes to get out of a no air conditioning village to even just an apartment? Your crazy
    Then you have all the sponsored people who just care about winning Lance got caught cause he was a dick I bet if he treated his teammates better we would never have known.
