Not sure if you've watched that Icarus documentary or not, and from what I've read/watched elsewhere anyone doing EPO now knows that micro dosing is where it's at. In fact, for someone to get pinged taking EPO now they must be an idiot with how they're taking it. I'm sure EPO would still be a drug of choice, along with AICAR and GW1516. The other stuff with TUE's etc is only really marginal gain type stuff. Anyone looking for a step change will definitely still be looking to the 'high octane' type treatments.
ETA: you can also throw anabolics in with the EPO, AICAR and GW1516 as well for the recovery it provides
Icarus is the latest documentary: a couple of years ago a guy from the BBC did a documentary, the same micro-dosing with EPO, and he was a cyclist and got the same results.
If you're that way inclined all the info is out there only a few clicks away.
Yes I know, what I was saying in reply to the previous poster was that it is very likely that pro/elite athletes are still very much using EPO as well as some other select drugs.
No I'm not that way inclined, if you saw my race results there's nothing overly impressive, nor any dramatic increase in performance. I just enjoy trying to understand physiology and so do a lot of reading in that area
ETA: that should read some pro/elite athletes, not all. Out of respect to those that frequent this forum and race/train clean
