A friend of mine (a doctor & rec cyclist, that actually prescribes it) used it personally to help lose 60 pounds. We were actually taking about this over the weekend after I had listened to that podcast, and he felt that his ability to do cardio was so blunted that it was likely not beneficial for pros at all unless they used it in the off season only when they weren’t training. Even at .25 mg / week he said he struggled to make power over like zone 2, and also felt like he couldn’t absorb nutrients as well and his recovery was much worse. He did wonder if maybe using a microdose like .05-.10 mg may give some effect for them without destroying their power and recovery, but wasn’t convinced it could ever be used in season.
