(Although this post includes questions about doping products, the questions are related to the ongoing discussion about cyclists and strength/weight training, so I'll take my chances and post the questions on the Cycling Training forum...)
I've been reading the various threads about strength (usually) not beeing a limiter for cyclists. (ie there is no need for cyclists to gain additional mucsle mass).
I don't know much about doping in general or HGH in particular, but why are riders from time to caught with HGH and steroids, aren't these substances that stimulate muscle growth?
Or do they also stimulate some aerobic adaptions in the body?
