I snipped this from the thread listed below. Jeesh !!! This guy is meesing himself up just to try to compete at a Cat 4 !?!?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you've been on this board for any period of time - which you (madtrack) have - then you know the major f'ups RealGains could have helped me avoid regarding test/EQ/turanibol etc. a couple of years ago....not only would I have saved money on peds, I'd of saved money on physical therapy too after - surprise, surprise, I blew-out/strained/tore a tendon after I more then doubled my squat and tried transfering that to the kilo (for awhile I thought I had jumped from a 4 to a 2....till my body reminded me I was a 4)

I'm still recovering....my threshold is about 225 for example, yup 225...that beats the 160ish that it was last winter....in TT's last season I couldnt even put out the power to get my HR up to the previous 168-172bpm that it would get in TT's...instead 155ish...I didnt even bother with crits...why pay 30 bucks to get dropped in < a lap?

My theory on why I'm taking so long to recover, is that I am fairly new to being fit (< 5 years -fittest in my life) and lets just say if 40+ masters races wasnt so damn hard, I could race in it, so getting back to that hard fought fitness level (mid packer cat IV) is proving long and slow.

threshold of 225? I don't think so.

I heard a rumor that people sometimes tell lies on the internets.

yeah the only way anyone would need to dope cat4 is if it is prescribed to sort out a real
medical condition.

otherwise there is no point.

cycling at that level is about time in the saddle.

you want to dope ? get to be a cat 1 first without dope, then don't get caught.

that is the only time you'd see a difference vs putting in real actual miles. slobs with low miles
don't get upgraded for a reason...dope won't help

Anyone doping as a Cat 4 has some serious self esteem issues. Probably has or had other drug addictions as well. It is pretty sad, really.

Why does it bother you to the point of needing to "out" a rider for posting on a PED forum? Yeah it sucks racing against others that are on PEDs but in today's world thats just a fact of life. The closer you get to pro status in any endurance sport the more athletes you will see on PEDs. I myself am clean due to a fear of DEATH, having no access to any PED, and having no money to buy PEDs.

If folks want to risk death just to hit the next level then let them be. In no way does their PED use impact you at all.. even if you are racing against somebody taking PEDs. The improvement you get at our level from those drugs is really small when compared to the bike skills needed to acually win a race. Either they will win a few times and upgrade away from your class or will never win.

I agree that forum has some interesting threads though. Now you have me browsing :)

Some of us do (several guys on here race nor-cal in the 1,2 or 3). You also see or hear about the guys "training plans" and just kind of shrug it off. If you ego so fragile that you are willing to take years off your life and massive risks to beat me for a $20 prize and a velo promo t-shirt then rock on. I'll do it the hard way.

I dunno, my opinion is that there is nothing wrong with this, as long as we properly educate let them ruin their lives. I feel great after a bike ride/race and in the end that's what matters to me.

Why does it bother you to the point of needing to "out" a rider for posting on a PED forum?

Because doping as an amateur is just ****ing pitiful and most people know this. Those who do and are stupid enough to post semi-anonymously about it at least deserve the embarrassment and possible ostracization of being outed. Plus it's amusing which is the main motivation behind most of my posting.

if that's what you want to do to win... im not advocating doping, i just think we make too big of a deal out of it. In my opinion cycling would be a lot better of a sport if UCI took off the weight regulations of a bike and made it limitless as well. Same thing with F1 racing, they put all these rules into effect that in my opinion take away from the sport.

And without those rules in effect, the competitors in each sport DIE as a result.

Running 50lbs of boost in a 3.0L engine is not safe. Or any engine, for that matter.

Just like running your hematocrit at 60%. People die in their sleep.

Do you think outing somebody that has no regard for his/her body in this manner is a good idea? remember the semi-anonymously nature of the internet is a two way street... If somebody is dealing with an illegal drug and you help "out" that person it might go bad. For reference watch Dave Chapelle's "when keeping it real goes wrong".
