Doping Myths 101

It's an arbitrary ruling based on what is/was acceptable by the
current morays.

This is a common misconception. Morays do not have any current at all
as they are not electic eels. In fact, electric eels are a type of
knifefish, not an eel.

On the other hand, I suspect if one put either one just behind you on
the bike, they would have a performance enhancing effect; either would
motivate me to go faster....

POTM!

I wonder if any of the pro (doping) cycling teams are using resveratrol
this season. It increases the number of mitochondria per cell, and the
quality of those mitochondria, and in rat studies increased endurance
quite remarkably. In doses of 3 or so grams per day, it should
increase an athelete's VO2max. Also it's still legal, or at least
untested for.

I'm using resveratrol right now!

Oh wait, only in red wine?

I'm using alcohol right now!

Oh Don de Dieu, I wish I could quit you...
