testosterone and bike racers

[japzap]

I was wondering about test and bike racers? I know that alot of bike racers take test, if you look at the papers there is alway some euro pro getting busted, from what I can tell they take it for recovery and red blood cell increases and also increased capillary developement I am interested in what kind of dosing these guy are doing. Floyd landis did a remarkable come back ride after placing a test patch on his scrotum. ??????????????

I've heard that bike racers use topical testosterone. They need something that hits quick and provides just a little boost over normal.

what about 25mg of test susp the night before a big race

yeh im intersted in that, im on 25mg test daily for a boost. Low dosages so i cant get tested positive for test.

Whatever they use it certainly helps them recover quicker after a 100 mile plus ride per day, after day, after day......etc....

what about 25mg of test susp the night before a big race

You think if i took 25mg of tes susp the morning before i played and got tested the following day on the afternoon id pass it? or the same wtih cheque drops

I have tried 25mg the day before a ride and I could tell a differance in my wattage I dont want to test positive either. Also would you need anti est stuff for that low of dose

It seems like a better idea would be to use a small to moderate dosage of test susp right after your stage or race after you know if you will be tested or not. That way you get the recovery benefits without the risk of testing positive. In an endurance event like cycling, I cant see how more test in your system will help your race outside of slightly more aggression (imo a bad thing, your trying to keep your heart rate as low as possible for as long as possible so you dont go into the red zone) and the improved recovery (which you would get if you took it right after the race).

test suspension would be used an hour before each race or between legs of the race. the night before would do dittly

Can someone explain how having higher test levels during a long endurance race will help performance? I'm not talking about training with it leading up to and during the race, but taking test suspension before the race.

test S.. gets of your system within days but they have new ways of detecting due to it lowering your test levels way below normal levels causing them to belive your using something to hide something. which i belive they test for low test levels now below human norm its called.. its hard to explain but you get the point!
