Microdosing while using EPO and steroids


Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have published a book related to administration of EPO and anabolic steroids. Tips provided in the book can prove that the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong used forbidden substances. The book has been entitled following: “The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at all Costs”. The book contains instructions related to application of EPO and steroids in cycling and methods to avoid detection. It demonstrates that drug testing is ineffective in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton confirms that athletes can administer steroids without being caught. The author claims that the WADA doesn’t have any possibility to win. Hamilton describes weakness of the WADA in testing sportspersons for forbidden products.
According to Tyler Hamilton, it is easy to avoid detection while taking EPO. It is necessary to utilize the procedure “microdosing”. What does it actually mean? Athletes should not introduce 2,000 Units of EPO under the skin every 3-4 days. They must inject 400-500 Units of EPO every 3rd or 4th night intravenously. This method is named “microdosing”. Applying this way of administration, sportpersons can avoid detection without any essential effort.
Since microdosing is an appropriate way to avoid detection while administering EPO, this method must be proper in case of steroid use too. Thus, Tyler Hamilton supposes that cyclists and other sportspersons can avoid detection while administering anabolic steroids. He provides tips connected with this issue in details in the book.  The author explains how it is possible to hit drug testing of anti-doping agencies.
Actually, it is unlikely that guidelines provided in Tyler’s book will change nature of cycling. While introduction of the biological passport by anti-doping agencies can’t stop doping, elaboration of microdosing into application of EPO is not the new beginning of doping in cycling. Guidelines of Hamilton may modify just the essence of doping in this sport. Intake of performance-enhancing drugs is a part of cycling. Let notice the truth. Like Santa Claus doesn’t exist at the high level.
