Blog of dude that experimented with doping
Posted this in Pcad's Cadel love fest thread. Its a good read and I though worthy of its own thread:

Read that article a few months ago.
It made me want to try doping. Sadly, the strongest drug here is coffee.

Researchers at Amgen Inc., a California pharmaceutical company, figured out how to synthesize it in quantities that could help people who weren't producing enough red blood cells, like cancer patients suffering from anemia.

I did not know that Amgen actually developed synthetic EPO until now.

IT WASN'T UNTIL I ADDED EPO to my diet, two weeks later, that I began to notice serious differences.
"You have to be careful with this stuff," Dr. Jones warned after explaining the routine: three injections a week of 1,500 IU each. I was expecting a lecture on the dangers of thickened blood, but he meant something else: he wanted me to take it easy while racing, lest people catch on.
"One of my bike racers who isn't really a climber went on a training ride and dropped the best climbers on his team," he said. "They were like, 'Um, what are you taking?'"

I read the article....I'm 55 and if I could get some HGH at decent prices and with no real side effects (some water retention- PFAH!) I'd probably use it. Clear up my eyesight, ease joint pain, put some more lead in my pencil, stop my hair from falling out.
I don't plan on living forever, but it would be nice to smooth that road out a little bit. The steroids sounded spooky.

My eyes have been getting worse in the last year. I'd consider the HGH.
EPO and strokes? Didn't Conatador have a stroke or something?

Has coddling tendencies.
Guy in the blog looks like Danny Bonaduce, who knows a thing or two about juicing.

This was certainly entertaining and interesting reading. I am a physician myself, and ironically enough, I am scared to death even by Tylenol. Unlike the lay person, I have the misfortune of seeing the worst failures and side effects of most things only. I don't get to see too many of the good stories, so I would be very scared to use any of these substances.
Now, that is not to deny that some of them may have a very positive effect in small enough dosages to reverse a lot of things that we face as we age. They WILL NOT disappear, but they will come on much much slower. It is a tough one for sure.............

I believe this has been posted a few times over the years. Since I don't race, it's definitely got me thinking, "hey, I should try that". Then I come to my senses in that, if not for cheating in competition, why would I do it?

Chuck Palahniuk (guy who wrote Fight Club) did a similar experiment with steroids and weightlifting. It's a chapter of this book:
