Patrick:
Unfortunately there are no drug tests for most anemia and renal failure products---so the # of tests are not relevant. Insulin, Human or horse Growth Hormones, Interlukin proteins, CERA, RSR-13, NESP, Eprix, EPO, DynEPO, as well as Phase 1 Clinical Trial drugs are undectable or can be undeticable with 72 hours of use---with long lasting and potent effects.
If the athlete is using stimulants or 20 years old DECA steroids he/she may be caught positive. And apparently, some athletes still do need to use last years drugs. But the top teams ought to use the newest stuff.
I agree, Lance trains in high volumes---maybe even higher levels than his competitors--I don't know. But many of his competitors do admit to anemia and anabolic doping (use of synthetic hormones) specifically so that they may "recover quicker" and thus train more often and with higher intensity after the build phase is completed. (I'll mention a very few names: Alex Zulle, Richard Virenque, David Miller, Phippe Gaumont, Robert Sassone, Oscar Camizend,
Pascal Herve, Laurent Brochard, Jesus Manzano, and Lance's National Junior Teammates Greg Strock & Eric Kaiter---all admitted users of synthetic hormones. I wonder why Lance would not do the exact same thing? His own peers seem to believe that trauma and cancer recovery drugs and tranfusions can help you win races and recovery fast too.
None of these guys got caught in a doping control test (except for Oscar) It was chiefly other embarrassing discoveries (Festina affair, Cofidis affair, Kelme affair etc...) So the testing did not affect their thought process.
Is not Lance fully committed to winning? Why won't he go the full distance as his peers have? Does Lance lack the proper doping mentality?
Fausto Coppi was a great Champion and he admitted to constant doping. Is Lance a greater human being than Coppi??
These powerful trauma and cancer/chemo/renal failure drugs do work--and very quicky too----so it is reasonable to assume that the biggest doper would train the most. Hey, didn't Lance use this stuff in 1997 & 1998? Or was it just aspirin and mineral water to rebuild from chemo? When exactly did he stop? and Why? What did Michele Ferrari suggest?
Otherwise, such a work ethic with exhaust the athlete into a case of mono or auto immune breakdown---which is perfectly organic outcome for an overtrained athlete. Non-dopers are simply too tired to train that much.
I do not recommend training the **** out of oneself as that might make you slower and weaker. Recovery is the key.
If the BALCO federal transcripts ever get leaked--that will be news!

He just trains the **** out of himself and pushes himself. If he did drugs he would have been caught, he must have done hundreds of tests.
