First off, let me start by saying that I raced for quite a few years on the road based in Belgium and I have a few comments to add to never ending fascination with the topic of drugs in cycling.
1. If you take any drugs for races here in America you truly need psychological help. Just train, eat well, and rest.
2. In Europe the anabolics of choice are: oxandolone, winstrol, primobolan and small amounts of test.
3. From my years spent overseas I've come to the realization that most europeans athletes have apalling diets. Thay are basically brain dead on this topic. Often they take medications when just eating better would be a more intelligent choice.
4. For many of you constantly asking about the assortment of drugs riders take in stage races, I think you would be surprised to learn that the 2 most common drugs taken are not anabolics. In fact they are drugs to clean out the liver (riding 6 hours a day and eating on the bike isn't exactly practical on the body) and muscle relaxers. After about the 6th or 8th day in any stage race every single rider is on muscle relaxers or they are out of the race for sure.
Perhaps later I will post more.
Ciao for now.
