guess they did not evaluate "relevant" doses, as this would have been
unethically 😕

Hi Guys

You may cancel your standing EPO orders. It is not worth it 😉

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









*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
