Joe Papp's testimony

[Bro Deal]

Some interesting stuff in Papp's testimony. These guys are crazy to let people dope them without knowing what they are getting. No wonder they occasionally wake up dead or die from heart attacks at twenty-five.

How many cyclists have died in the EPO era? Seems we would have more deaths from straight blood doping.

In the past I've seen figures that 18 died when EPO first hit the scene and another 10 died when Aranesp first came out. Not sure how factually correct those numbers are however.

Interesting. I wonder how many died from blood doping? At least EPO brings on a gradual change in the hematocrit vs. a sudden increase with a transfusion.
