Is it significant that his heart is 1/3 more capable of pumping than an 'average' persons heart, when taken in comparison over an average athlete's heart; and is this the reason which gives some people the belief that he, in some way, 'enhances' his body chemically...?

Now they're tackling doping rumours, briefly and badly. It's the old, never failed a test routine.

 

[John the Monkey]

It took me a long time to read that. I still don't find it convincing, I mean what's the argument over height about - Bizarre. I did find interesting the information about how contaminated tests will lose EPO but of course they can't gain it. Still, one of the most informative pieces I've read so far.

It's about the Ed Coyle "study", as I recall, isn't it?

I think that's covered on the Sports Scientists blog too.

But yeah, it's a good article.

Yes it was but it was the interviewer who made the bizarre observation not the interviewee. I think I'll read it again sometime to get it to stick in my mind.
