Not gonna lie… I’d give him my spare change. 
I couldn’t… because I’m that guy
And I’m retired. No more new toys…
And when I read the report that all the doping LA did, did not give him a boost. So why do it? Placebo effect? I mean, don’t count out the power of that gray mush in the brain bucket, but if it carries a lot of badness, why do it?
Who says it doesn’t help?
‘Didn’t’…
I read a medical report that showed that the use of some supplements didn’t provide enough of a boost to make it worth doing it. Interesting, never heard of it before, but why would I, report by the USADA on Armstrong and his and their actions to hide the illegal drug use.
And EPO does not help with performance.
So maybe the joke here is the reliance on illegal drugs and the felling of being a ‘bad boy’ helped him more than the drugs themselves. Well, joke or irony…
Fully agree on the efficacy of EPO being (mostly) disproven. However, I believe Armstrong was also on a pretty heavy steroid regimen and blood doping, both of which do impact performance. Saying ‘all the doping LA did did not give him a boost’ is not correct.
Also, just a note - quoting Phil Liggett as a source is not at all meaningful. Your other two links are solid though 
Only post I’ll make on this thread about it - happy to discuss in a more appropriate thread
Removed that link. I like Phil, so added for ‘color’…
