Thanks for that. (It will be an interesting listen, as Lizzie has contributed to that podcast in the past, and I imagine the presenter(s) cannot help being more sympathetic in that situation, than when reporting on a case involving $random_athlete )

They actually got a journalist to interview her although I think he is sympathetic too. Lizzy is remarkably intelligent, I’m halfway through the podcast and I can’t help thinking that anyone less intelligent (such as me) wouldn’t stand a chance of exonerating herself via science! It’s an excellent listen!

 

[matticus]

Listened.
Blimey.

That sounds like hell. The stuff about being too scared to take her own prescription meds (for asthma and other serious shoot) is just ... like a Kafka story. Grim

That's just ...sad. I almost feel sorry for the deluded twonk.

BUT..... EPO?!? How delightfully retro! Were these Eroica events?!?

I've never forgiven him for dropping out of the Vuelta when he had 3rd nailed on, and he had my money on him😊

reading the wiki it appears to be used in men as a method of stimulating testosterone production in those with low levels so in a doping use it would be to increase it above normal levels ,

Breaking news, they all do it.
Professional cycling is an absolute joke.
