Wejo, 6 more hours added to the clock - still no list of meds and PEDs you used during your career. What gives?

We talked about it on our podcast yesterday. HE took NOTHING but liquid iron. Maybe an occasoinal multivitamin.

Near the very end. Listen to the last 10 minutes.

Weldon took zero medications. But did he go for an EPO effect? Absolutely. He drove in his car and would sleep on a mountain two nights before his races.

Wait, I thought he took caffeine?

Yes, he admitted to using caffeine as a performance-enhancing drug while it was banned.

Don't forget Del Taco...Weldon had to eat it 5 days a week when I stayed with him...Ha!

Even twins can keep secrets from each other. That's gotta be the only explanation for his 3 min+ 10k pr over yours.

We ask the tough questions on letsrun. Why is wejo in hiding??????????

I hadn't realized that taking doses of fortified caffeine was banned, but it certainly would act similar to current EPO's. If Wejo was using multi vitamins along with his doses of caffeine, I'd like to see a list of these as many of them can cross over the line of what was legal and what was not. I find it ironic that he was doing this, along with experimenting with things going to altitude before races. Ironic, because those are remarkably similar to much of "exploring for an edge" that Alberto is known for. All this makes one wonder what else Wejo was doing to make him so paranoid about what NOP is doing?

Right. Where's your list of exhibits? We need the redacted emails.

So I guess we now have an established pattern of lying, or perhaps it was a mistake to say "NOTHING" when in fact there was something. Either way, you have misspoken and thus left the door wide open for reasonable suspicion.

WELDON JOHNSON first tried caffeine as a performance enhancer in 1998. He was not a coffee drinker but had heard that caffeine could make him run faster. So he went to a convenience store before a race and drank a cup of coffee.

For the first time in his life, he ran 10 kilometers in less than 30 minutes.

“I remember being really wired before the race,” he said in an e-mail message. “My body was shaking.”

From then on, he was a convert.

Mr. Johnson, a founder of LetsRun.com, would avoid caffeine, even in soft drinks, for a few weeks before he competed in a race, wanting to have the full stimulant effect.

[...]

For many years, researchers thought the sole reason people could exercise harder and longer after using caffeine was that the compound helped muscles use fat as a fuel, sparing the glycogen stored in muscles and increasing endurance. But there were several hints that something else was going on. For example, caffeine improved performance even in short intense bursts of exercise when endurance is not an issue.

Now, Dr. Tarnopolsky and others report that caffeine increases the power output of muscles by releasing calcium that is stored in muscle. The effect can enable athletes to keep going longer or to go faster in the same length of time. Caffeine also affects the brain’s sensation of exhaustion, that feeling that it’s time to stop, you can’t go on any more. That may be one way it improves endurance, Dr. Tarnopolsky said.

The performance improvement in controlled laboratory settings can be 20 to 25 percent, Dr. Tarnopolsky said.

[...]

Many athletes and coaches are not caffeine fans. Mr. Johnson said he has tried to spread the word and gets frustrated when runners don’t use caffeine — so much so, he said, that when he sees the team his brother coaches at Cornell, he thinks, why aren’t they all going to Starbucks?

Mike Perry, a friend who is a sculler who has competed nationally and internationally, said that, with one exception, the rowers he knew did not use caffeine.

“People would have psychological issues with using it,” he said. “They would see it as against the spirit of the law, even though it’s not against the law.”

We get it. Wejo whooped your ass in a race and you are butt hurt.

Get over it.

Hey troll how mad are you that wejo don't even think enough of you to respond?

Rojo sent me this link and told me to reply.

I still. have 15 days more to respond but here goes.

I don't have a problem discussing what I put in my body. The greatest compliment I got was when people said I was doping. It meant I was a good runner.

I took liquid iron while living in altitude. I can't remember if I took a multi-vitamin. Probably occasionally . I don't remember taking anything else when I was trying to make the Olympics. Prior I remember taking ginseng.

I did Tuesday Night Taco nights at Del Taco. 3 tacos for 99 cents.

I did high-low training which very few people in the world do. I lived at Flagstaff and would drive to lower altitude (2 hours or 4 hours roundtrip) for my harder workouts. I did this solely for performance enhancing reasons.

I was a poor man's Alberto.

I also would drive in my car to about 10,000 feet before big races and sleep in it. Supposed to be a natural EPO boos or something. I did not take EPO boost, Testoboost or anything else.

I was open about all of this on LetsRun when I was training.

I did not fly halfway across the country to get beta alanine injections or take any prescription drugs unless I got sick or mislead people about what I took. I did not conduct androgel experiments if that is what you are after.

I did drink a double espresso or coffee before races. I tried to give up soft drinks a few weeks before big races. I take pride in being the first two words of a NY times article on caffeine.

So please stop posting this question 15 times a day.

BOOM OP!

Now STFU .

It's been more than 30 minutes since A Duck declined to disclose the last 10 years of his coffee & soft drink consumption, thus proving he was DOPING with ILLEGAL caffeine and has something to hide.

I think this is the mindset of most athletes. Tempted by the edge.

I am not the OP and I don't believe you have ever cheated. I think the issue the OP has is that his threads kept getting deleted before you could respond.

The issue is that he is in love with wejo but was rejected and is trying to crush wejo so he will come back to him looking for comfort.

Pretty ghey imo.

Caffeine was a banned performance-enhancing drug at the time you were using it with the sole intent of improving your times. Sounds like doping to me.

I think we'll need you to go under oath about other unnamed drugs while you were "sick" as well as other supplements.

An espresso is not doping.

EPO and amphetamine is doping
