Title: Tour de France - world of crap
Post by: neXus on July 25, 2007, 14:01:15 PM
Yet ANOTHER person has been found to be doping, and probably there is others racing around again this year which are more then likley to come out

This guy what he has done is really way out there though, getting blood transfusions so you have more oxygenated blood and so can put more out for longer is extreme to say the least.

The thing is really out of hand now

Erm blood transfusions or rather Autologus blood transfusions (where people give a few pints of blood in the weeks running up to an event, then get it pumped back in just before said event) are rather common in the world of sport.

Not exactly extreme, and its a fairly old technique.

Still the dopers are being caught so what does it matter if they run the race and then get disqualified.

You get insane amounts of people who dope at almost every single sporting event. People will continue to push their bodies further and further, and will do whatever they can to aid them in that quest.

Just seen about the leader get kicked out for missing drug tests as you said SwissToni What a farce
They not seen to done much of anything to cut it all out, having the race leader not even taking the tests - dodgy or what.
