    1. Cycling is a very dark sport when it comes to doping.. Crazy what cyclists and their teams used to do in order to win

    2. I don't believe it is regular blood. I think they are concentrating the red blood cells with a centrifuge. Otherwise I don't see how the hematocrit would go up. More blood wouldnt mean higher crit unless your crit was low as fuck to begin with.

    3. I think it goes to show you that the rules aren't just there to prevent cheating but also to protect the athletes. Blood transfusions in my opinion are not on the same level as taking PEDs but the risks are real.

    4. Blood transfusions are not dangerous. Back in the 80s Franceso Moser did it when he was preparing the hour record. At the time that practice was not banned. What makes this practice dangerous is the prohibition imposed by the authorities.

    5. Its still probably a lot cleaner and safer than the bodybuilding community who abuse steroids.

      I still dont know exactly what doping is though. Are they just adding air to their blood or some chemical drug?
