  1. The Manzano revelations begin. Hein just called to say that it's all a big
    nothing caused by losers amounting to no more than 5% of the pro peloton.

  2. "Krispy Kreme & Actovegin", go together like "ham n' eggs"

  3. Maybe Kelme's soigneur was using it to treat diabetes,
    just like the Postal soigneur. WHO should look into this
    to make certain something isn't putting soigneurs at risk
    for diabetes.

    I was surprised to see HGH among the names of the
    substances. Wasn't that stuff useless for cycling? Some
    people have argued that here, I recall.

  5. Giro organizers talking about withdrawing Kelme-Costa Blanca's invitation now because of the Manzano affair.

    Why?? Is Kelme the only team using drugs? I'm sure glad we
    don't have to worry about this with US riders--other than
    that one track guy and the track woman.

    that one track guy and the track woman.

    "La Rcs Sport, sociedad organizadora del Giro de Italia, ha desvelado que se reserva el derecho de dejar fuera de su próxima edición al Kelme, después de las manifestaciones del ex ciclista Jesús Manzano en el diario AS, en las que denuncia el doping en el ciclismo, informa en un comunicado.

    "Según el mismo, la organización de la ronda italiana está estudiando la implicación del Kelme en todo el asunto de Manzano y en función del análisis de los hechos se reserva su decisión de confirmar o no la participación del equipo de Vicente Belda. "

    i.e. They're studying the case and reserve the right to rescind the invite based on whatever comes out of this. No details were given.

    people have argued that here, I recall.

    In the Outside Magazine article where the guy takes almost
    everything, the doctor he was prescribing HGH said it would
    help with recovery and the cyclist claims he thought it
    worked wonders, but the rider was over 45 IIRC.

    One key effect: Oxygen uptake

    How effective could this stuff possibly be? It is a "protein-
    free hemodialyzate"...meaning that it contains no
    hemoglobin, and therefore can't carry/contain significant
    amounts of oxygen.

    If this stuff is indeed used, it represents yet another case
    of athletes foolishly doping themselves with something that
    is likely of absolutely no benefit...

    This is certainly something to think about. Chump hit the
    nail square on the head when he pointed out these doped
    riders who are complaining about cramps, diarhea, fuzzy
    vision and nearly dying - is this the performance
    enhancing stuff?

  12. Andy, just because you happen to know it won't work, doesn't
    mean certain members of the peloton won't try it. I remember
    back in the 80's when virtually all of my racing buddies
    were taking "B-15" (calcium pangamate) after coming to
    believe it "oxygenates the blood"...They'll try anything
    they have heard might work.

  13. to disguise use of other illegals would be my guess.

    Assuming Manzano is telling the truth at least in part,
    where the doctors went wrong is injecting all that actual
    [censored] into him. They would have done better to use saline
    solution and tell him it was new Eastern Bloc performance
    enhancing voodoo. At least he might not have gotten sick
    during races.

    PRECISELY! It would also supply a bit of hydration. And it
    would be legal.
