Cycling is a very dark sport when it comes to doping.. Crazy what cyclists and their teams used to do in order to win
lucky to not have aids
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.
is it just me or is he A LOT more attractive now than before?
bags of blood is the reason these super rich are still alive, modern day vampires
I just wished that cycling was clean so riders wouldn't have to do this kind of stuff
I have heard about winning is everything but this is just disgusting and its endemic in the sport, I doubt it will ever recover
If you need a blood-transfusion in order to ride a bike, maybe you should try chess or poker instead!
bad bag of his own expired blood is not nearly so scary as the time when the doc messed up and gave him someone else's blood!
immunotherapy is a legit way to boost immune system
Using cancer treatment drugs to boost your red blood count while people dying in hospitals need these drugs just disgusting.
I'm just glad that there is no longer cheating in pro cycling.
That's extreme
Wow
My dog could be a better interviewer than this turd.
that's why i don't waste time watching sports. everyone is making chutiya out of you.
boah … brutal stuff … boy 😖
Now that’s what I call ride or die
Football, American football, all dope.
Graham – that's the wrong tie knot for the collar of your shirt. 😉
2.25 – 2.33 yes Tyler we get the point your pee was dark
The NBA ?
The Wild West Days of Cycling! 😂😂
I never really paid attention to HCT when reading labs but this guy sounds like all he thinks about is Hematocrit lol.
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.
LA has single handedly changed my perception of professional cyclists. I no longer idolise them. Now even if someone is great, I am very sceptical.
Still lance won 7 when they were all doing it!!!
He looks healthy and happy …where are you scientists who said that doping is dangerous even at small dosage
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.
Wow
lance was just the best of all the dopers because everybody was doing it so definitively he’s still the best lol
it's like too many people going down the waterslide at the same time basically.
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?
