From: Midtown Bob on 27 Aug 2005 22:32 His 7 wins of the tour speak for themselves blah blah blah... Me thinks , when LA had his cancer treatments, he could have been treated with biologics ( biologically custom made drugs, google it ). There could have been something in his treatments that could have been a positive side-effect, for exmple, having larger oxygen carrying capacity in his blood or ? I don't believe LA cheated, he just got lucky with his experimental cancer treatment. whaddya think?

I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/

I think he was pretty amazing even before chemo, and cyclists tend to peak pretty late. That said, you could be right.

From the LKL interview: COSTAS: In fairness, there have been tests done on you that indicate that you're something of a physiological anomaly, that everything that could possibly max out in terms of making someone ideally suited physically to this task is present in you. Then couple that with the will, the determination, the improvements in technology, nutrition and training. You took all of that to the max. >That said, you could be right. In fairness to the discussion Armstrong had these stats: Year.....Watts...Weight(kg).......Watts/kg 1994.....381........76.2...................5 1999.....415........71.6...................5.79 2000.....430........~72....................5.97 2001.....445........~72....................6.18 This kind of development in later years has pretty much not been seen previously. Even with PEDs, it's hard to imagine this kind of progress. Easy to see why there's skepticism. Some people react to PEDs more favorably than others. I suspect that if he took any he took less than the rest of the peloton. -jet |
