Professional Cycling - Where do I get a transfusion machine thingy?

Me and a riding buddy who is way faster than me are climbing one of famed climbs next Wednesday. I want to get a leg up so I need to get something going.

hehe:rolleyes:

I feel bad for my main man phil liggett. He has all but fell in love with vino and Rasmussen and has had to eat his words on vino yesterday and dammit will have to di it again in the morning as the show goes live.

Ill still watch, I know many wont but I love this sport and will support it. Dope is in all sports. Even Nascar. So screw it.

My question is why was VINO stupid enough to take a blood transfusion using someone else's blood? Couldn't he have simply given his own blood a few weeks earlier, then have it transfused it back into his own body undetected?

And there had to be a doctor who helped VINO with this. Are they going to bust him also?

I dont know but I just watched stage 16 and as soon as Ras dropped levi and Conti, I was like, dam! Then I got quiet.

Then I thought outloud again, he looks really strong here. hmmmmmmm

That's what I thought when I watched it live this morning. But then I thought about how much he looked like Lance when he just jumped up and dropped them.

apparently Vino got some very bad medical advise.

from cycling news:
"I think it's a mistake in part due to my crash. I have spoken to the team doctors who had a hypothesis that there was an enormous amount of blood in my thighs, which could have led to my positive test."

Huge amount, as in someone else's :rolleyes:

I wouldn't be surprised at all is his doctors were in on it. So much for "make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan."

I hope that's a joke.
