Scott MS said:I personally think Lance took so many drugs during his battle with cancer that it has somewhat modified his chemical balance in a way that is advantageous in cycling.
He seems to feel no pain.
Scott MS said:Most cyclists use EPO (erythropoietin) or amphetamines or do blood doping. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidney that promotes the formation of red blood cells by the bone marrow.
CardLogic said:There was a special on television last week re: Lance and the Discovery team. One comment of note: it has been determined that Armstrong's heart is 1/3 larger than normal for his body size. Additionally it is a fact that he metabolizes oxygen at a rate that far exceeds even other top atheletes.
Considering these factors and his being a cancer survivor I don't think Armstrong feels fatigue and pain to near the extent that others do; he is simply able to drive his body harder and farther.
