There's a little known rumor that a group of Nazis have been circling
over Europe since 1944 waiting for their 'opportunity'
Looks like them to me. I saw them almost crash into the Matterhorn
back in 87.

Including blood doping changes the timeline in ways that you don't
obviously understand. EPO was available in the late '80s but blood
doping has been around (and effective!) since the early '70s. Google
"Lasse Viren", if you care to be educated. When you change your argument
like this, you blow any argument for Lemond's cleanliness that depends
on the lack of effective cheating methods. It is arguably possible
(however unlikely) that Lemond finished his career completely ignorant
of the existence of EPO. The same cannot be said for blood doping. It
was available, widely used, and there was no test.

Brian - I first had access to EPO in the fall of 1989. If I recall
correctly, at least 2 members of the 1990 Dutch TTT team died in their
sleep from 'thick blood' by 1991.
Lemond probably had the chance to extend his career (like some other
American cyclists have) by using EPO. (and may have in 1990 but
perhaps it didn't agree with him) Recall that he had the access to
the best drs and coaching in the world at that time and his salary and
endorsements were the highest of any cyclist.
Anyone with any knowledge knew that Indurain was loaded to the gills
with it by the time the 1991 TDF was complete.
Lemond's boosting alone probably wouldn't have been able to keep up
with MI's EPO use.

I am very much aware of that. You do recall the blood doping in 1984 in
LA don't you? We discussed the availability of EPO in the late 1980s,
but from the increase in performance levels it seems likely that 1990-91
was when it really became prevalent. I suppose you recall all those
young Dutch cyclists dying in their sleep that Dopey Hein said had
nothing to do with EPO.

I haven't seen much at all to indicate that Euro cyclists in the pro
ranks were using blood doping with any regularity in the late
1980s--early 1990s. Have you?

If Lemond were blood doping in 1990+, one would expect that he would
have had better results and would not have found himself struggling to
keep up with the increasing speeds of the peloton. Be that as it may,
the circumstantial evidence of his using steroids is to be found in his
developing mitochondria myopathy. A common, known side effect of
steroid abuse is this condition. The only other etiology for MM is
hereditary disposition which did not exist in his family. Also, his
treating endocrinologist, a woman doctor whose name I don't recall,
stated publicly that his MM was not caused by lead in his system from
the hunting accident.
Cheating is cheating, no matter what illegal method is used.
Historically in cycling, EPO followed by blood doping post-EPO test is
the main time-line.

See my post above. I think it likely that even if Lemond had wanted to
use EPO in 1990-93, he would not have given what he was struggling with,
MM. There were more than just a couple of dead Dutch riders.

It seems that for many of the cyclists of that era, EPO was some sort of
bright line they would not easily cross. As I've posted, it appears that
the circumstantial evidence of Lemond abusing steroids makes that more
likely.

Mig?? I'm shocked. According to Joe Freil it has to do with losing
weight and better efficiency on the bike. No? ;-)

Can you post a link or two to a peer-reviewed paper that shows that
mitochondrial myopathy is, or may be, caused by steroid use?

Pettachi is Abdu Lite.
http://www.cyclingfans.com/node/1927
From the right of Cavendish (Pettachi was on the dashed line, right in
the middle of the road, when the final sprint started), and with a
straight line to the finish, he (Pettachi) moved all the way to the
left barrier, then back over to the right, and then moved slightly to
the left again when Cavendish appeared on his left. Abdu would have at
least made it exciting to watch.
P-man still only won by maybe six inches, and that with Cavendish
maybe throwing a little early.
If Cavendish is a "crybaby", Hushovd is ???? (You're better at that
sort of thing than I am).
