Effectiveness
EPO: adds red blood cells Raises performance by 5-15% Makes you able to climb faster
Testosterone: builds lean muscle and aids in recovery from hard efforts Enables significantly harder and longer training
Blood doping: adds more red blood cells and reduced perception of effort Immediate recovery and >4% added endurance

Examples
1996: Jonathan Vaughters, EPOed up, sets record for climb up Mt. Ventoux; never wins another mountain stage
1999: Lance Armstrong wins his first TdF by 7:37, a time difference of 1.3%; later testing reveals 6 positives for EPO
2001: Tyler Hamilton rides TdF clean and finishes 94th. In 2002 Giro, EPOed up, finishes 2nd.
2006: Floyd Landis, after blood doping, rides away from the field, setting stage for TdF “win”
And many many more….

Avoiding getting caught
Dodge the testers Dilution EPO Micro-dosing and intravenous injection Autologous blood doping Phony therapeutic use exemptions
All of these worked until the implementation of the Blood Passport and Whereabouts Controls

Why it matters
Trickles down to young & amateur athletes Techniques mastered in cycling are being
used in other sports Distorts and corrupts Not all cyclists doped – not a victimless crime
