That's only because there was no test for sabre tooth tiger testicles.

Anyone able to get hold of a pair of those probably deserved an advantage.

I hope you were referring to an iguanadon fossil. It is well known to palaeontologists, physicists, astronomers, engineers, anthropologists, people who don't live in the midwest, and other dorks that cavemen and dinosaurs never co-existed.

I believe they raced for mastadon tenderloin steaks marinated in wild bee honey...

No wonder sabre-toothed tigers became extinct. The cavemen were neutering them all for PEDs. Mind you it would be hard to neuter one without a tranquilizer, and without killing it first...

Now, honey, I was baiting to see how long it would take for someone to correct me....I didn't think it would be you.

Besides, don't you remember The Flintstones...

There just won't be as many who can make a living out of the game. And all the young, potentially clean top young cyclists coming through will suffer less potential remuneration from their career.

Take an axe to the doping industry... doctors, corrupt team staff, as well as riders. Test, test, test... maybe then doping will not occur... at least not so much. Or maybe resistance is futile and we just have to legalize some of it, whatever the consequences.

Relying on teams and cyclists to just be nice guys and not dope is naive in my book.
Interesting point you bring up, however do you really believe that a micro-dose is going to do anything for these guys, hell it wouldn't do anything for a CAT -1 guy...

Sure it would. It might have more of an effect than on the pros.

depends. the EPO wont do a thing unless one is already exhausting your O2. The O2 effect is not linear, it is absolute.
