I love how he massively boosted his ftp and still managed to bomb the race due to... you guessed it, Di2.

I did the Haute Route last year. Pyrenees and Alps events back to back. 1800km, over 40 000 metres of climbing over 2 weeks. It was amazing but it absolutely broke me.Watch Icarus. Mindblowing.

I rekon a lot of doping happens in the twilight years - especially for the cream of the crop athletes. When you body starts to fail you look for ways to keep it going, drugs are an easy way to do that and all too tempting. I don't have data to back this up, but my perspective is from a normal bloke carrying a few small injuries and doing relatively small volume of exercise. There is no way a lot of the athletes are running on their own steam without assistance.“ I think it's fair to say about myself that I'm at the twilight of my career, so to speak, so now would not be the time to start doing anything like that.” - JG from Pinkbike
Graves makes a point. Why risk tarnishing his whole career now? He’s raced Olympic BMX, World Cup DH, all higher pressure stuff than EWS. Why cheat now, in the “twilight” of his career?

I took some a few years back - genuine TDF grade pharma. 6 weeks of intramuscular thigh injections every few days for myself and a mate. We killed it on the bike for ages ( like a year or so) but as 'training' faltered for a bit (a flu or some shit /extra hours at work meant a few weeks off) it went away as easily as it came ...PB's going down every week/ climbing like a freekin mountain goat. I can see why peeps do it, it is addictive. Some real psychological boost going on too. Without the access to same quality though i would struggle to commit again. I ain't buying any vials off a dude at the back of the stables. I did it because it was there. I had no intention of racing again at 40 + y.o.I thought so at the time as well but hindsight an' all, might be best to keep that bad boy tucked away.
Out of curiosity, has anyone on here taken or know of anyone taking performance enhancing drugs just for themselves with no commitment to competition etc?
Cheers, good intel. It's interesting that you say it comes on quickly and goes away just as quick, seems like any training regime meaning you need to keep it in your system for it to be fully effective? What (if any) were the side effects of it?I took some a few years back - genuine TDF grade pharma. 6 weeks of intramuscular thigh injections every few days for myself and a mate.

Most misleading username, ever.I had no intention of racing again at 40 + y.o.
Seems like every try-hard mad dog Chad Reed Metal Mulisha sick C#@t out there uses that shit thinking it instantly makes them A) Seriously the fastest and coolest guy to ever race B grade with a full sleeve tattoo of roses and barbed wire and B) To look fully awesome using the badly spelt word in their Insta hashtags.With all the innuendo around Ryno Power I'd be worried if I was an owner/employee there. They seem to be the scapegoat of choice at the moment.
If your main or only money earning gig relies on consistent extreme physical efforts, and you are getting older, slower and carrying more injuries, then it doesn't take a genius to figure out the temptation to take PEDs is also extreme.I rekon a lot of doping happens in the twilight years - especially for the cream of the crop athletes.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that following the death of Tom Simpson and other doping scandals during the TdF, the Frenchies made doping an offense against the law and hence you can be prosecuted.[QUOTE="mas2, post: 3223626, member:] The French, however, give a fuck and decided it was about time these EWS athletes were made accountable.
The French know when riders are ' Sur La Jus 'Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that following the death of Tom Simpson and other doping scandals during the TdF, the Frenchies made doping an offense against the law and hence you can be prosecuted.
Not surprised they are enforcing testing. They take doping sort of seriously.
I'm sure that is Italy. Maybe it is both countries have a similar law.Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that following the death of Tom Simpson and other doping scandals during the TdF, the Frenchies made doping an offense against the law and hence you can be prosecuted.
