Hope you enjoy the nice weather on your bicycle !

The Lancet Haematology: For amateur cyclists, EPO blood doping may have 
little effect on real-world road race performance

While performance was improved in high intensity tests, endurance and road 
race performances were similar for EPO group and placebo.
For well-trained non-professional cyclists, the performance enhancing drug 
rHuEPO (recombinant human erythropoietin) appears to have a small effect on 
high intensity laboratory cycling tests, but the performance enhancing 
effects were mostly undetectable in a laboratory time trial test and an 
endurance road-race up Mont Ventoux (France), according to a new study.

In this double blind, randomised trial, half (24) of the participants were 
given weekly injections of rHuEPO, and half (24) were given a placebo (saline 
solution) over 8 weeks. The trial involved a series of tests to evaluate 
different types of performance parameters.

  *   The final test involved a 110km cycle followed by a 21.5 km road-race 
up Mont Ventoux, which often features in the Tour de France race - View the
