Excerpt from JRE #1108, Lance and cyclists....
Just a short excerpt with some discussion about Lance Armstrong, cycling and other athletes between Joe and Peter Attia. It was an interesting podcast, of course the it can be heard in it's entirety on Joe's YouTube channel.

Thanks for sharing that.
The interviewee shares some of my viewpoint on doping - it ain't necessarily a bad thing, maybe we shouldn't care.
As to Lance, et al; Regardless of the doping BS, those 7 Tours were, in my opinion, the best Tours ever. Certainly nothing after has come close for me.

Don't try this at home. Blood - oxygen PED is a very dangerous thing to play with without medical supervision.
Perspectives on doping in pro cycling: Inga Thompson
Inga Thompson is one of those athletes that owns a natural 48% white blood corpuscle hematocrit count. So at a time when they monitored hematocrit as a way to get a handle on the EPO problem any white blood count above 50% was the disqualifier. (That's the flaw in Attia's argument about all things being relative). That being the case, Inga couldn't benefit from EPO so she didn't want to use it. She wisely declined Eddie Borysewicz's ill fated blood doping program as well.
What it got her was that she was run out of the sport and it certainly had nothing to do with her performance.

How about just don't cheat? I wish these idiots had to pay back all the promotion and prize money, that would be incentive to keep them from doing it. As mentioned, it's not just the cheating itself which is a problem, and which usually just brings small gains anyways, but all the problems you cause for everyone else and for the sport itself.
