To meddle in the government of society and to speak about it is the greatest business and, so to speak, the only pleasure that an American knows.... An American does not know how to converse, but he discusses; he does not discourse, but he holds forth. -ADT

The best part about EPO is if you take too much your blood becomes so thick with red blood cells that your heart has trouble pumping it.
Whenever sports doping is discussed, it always makes me think of this Monty Python sketch:
Frankly, if turning yourself into a steroid were-creature is what it takes to win the Tour de France, I say cyclists should knock themselves out. It's not like other professional sports don't destroy your body, and there seem to be plenty of people willing to make the tradeoff in exchange for athletic endorsements. I would have been a wonderful ancient Roman.
"I don't see why they have to give the gladiators swords. If I want to see a man eaten by a lion, it's my own business."
But really now. Jan Ulrich takes drugs which may cause debilitating cardiac problems in his old age, and I get to see exciting competitive cycling. It seems like a fair trade to me.
