In the 60's, 70's, and 80's the Soviets seemed to have every advantage in athletic training compared to the Europeans. They had an excellent system for selecting athletes at an early age based on their natural genetic abilities, they had the best physiologists to develop training methods, and they had full support for their athletes to allow them to devote all their time to training and racing. How were the Europeans able to stay ahead of the Soviet block bicycle racers?
