Swim more, ride harder and run faster :)
I use Optygen from First Endurance.

Caffeine crops up in various studies as being beneficial.
Personally I'm just addicted to black tea.
Not directly related or necessarily a performance supplement, but I use protein powder for appetite control sometimes.

Isn't EPO legal if you have a heart condition? May just be a matter of finding the right doctor.

You can always get 'diagnosed' with asthma which means you would need an inhaler.
Didn't believe that one till I walked through Transition at Oceanside and saw more than a handful of people sucking on them.
