Young's EPO ban for life -Why for a 400?

With EPO you could run faster and longer without getting as tired. While it my not be the best, it would definately help. It would delay the on set and slow the build up of lactic acid which in turn would keep 'the monkey from jumping on his back.'

According to Charlie Francis, even the 100 meter sprinters use EPO in their drug regimens. Helps in workout recovery, if nothing else.

at 30s into any race, your instantaneous energy sources at at least 50/50 aerobic and anaerobic, and it only gets more aerobic from there on.

During ANY race of ANY distance you are using ALL three energy systems. EPO will improve performance at ANY sport.

... and speed recovery between workouts so an athlete can work longer, harder, and more often. For years we heard from the athlete defender who said "so-and-so" works his/her butt off to be as good as he/she is, and that was true. Most drugs won't make you a better athlete. They'll allow you to work harder to become a better athlete.
