this is why the solution is not an altitude tent but to live high and train with oxygen, like they do at the OTC.

or just live on top of a steep mountain where you can drive down and train =)

Thinking allowed. Could a mask modify both?

no you need a pressured tank that you lie in all day.

An IRON lung.

Thought of that 2 seconds after I pushed the reply button.

Haha, easier said than done!

Time to work on a helmet which can be used to support negative pressure and is connected to air supply with reduced gas levels. This will stimulate both factors of altitude living.

Now I will go to the garage and gather up an old motor bike helmet and some duct tape.

Triathlete found dead with helmet duct taped to his neck.

I work fast.
It may make the internet today.

Someone was telling me that Sky are trying to get there riders to take multiple 20 minutes naps a day to increase HGH. I wonder if Norway will outlaw taking a nap?

Seriously though, it seems like the sports governing bodies should try to stick to "organic" methods of improving performance. Whether an altitude tent should be banned is a tough call.

I think you're on to something. WADA should institute an environmental passport similar to the biological one where they monitor the athletes environmental conditions. With all the wearable fitness devices available now, it would be cheap and easy to monitor the temperature, pressure, RH the athlete is experiencing. Then they could correlate that data with weather data from their location (easily available from their ADAMS input) to make sure there are no unexplained large deviations between the two.


Next step, nutritional passports.

If they are, they're barking up the wrong tree (hormone/mechanism-wise...nothng wrong w/ a good nap!).

We can make things even easier: just insert a GPS chip under the athlete's skin, so you know where they are at all times. Then if they stray outside of their pre-designated whereabouts location to try to acclimate to altitude/heat/cold, boom! 2 y ban...
