We'll part of it is that what doping really let's you do is recover fast and thus train more. So in a lot of contexts it just reveals the limits of training more than the physical limits.
- 0xcde4c3db 9y agoYes, but I'm not sure how the effects are really separable unless someone figures out how to get the PED-enabled training regimen without the PED.
- z3t4 9y agoOr get the PED-enabled results without training LOL.
- jackmott 9y agoNo, that is what people who make excuses for dopers, say about doping. But the 1st order thing steroids will do is just make you stronger, immediately, by themselves, even if you don't train differently (or at all!) The 1st order thing taking EPO or doing blood doping will do is just give you more aerobic endurance, immediately, by itself. No doubt some 2nd order benefit may result from also being able to train harder / recover faster while using these drugs.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoThe misconception comes from the days when athletes stopped taking PEDs a month before competition to avoid getting caught.
- CuriouslyC 9y agoActually, testosterone (and thus steroid testosterone derivatives) have been shown to directly accelerate motor learning. Before puberty boys and girls learn motor skills at roughly the same rate, but once in puberty boys learn motor skills significantly faster than girls (even ones that are unathletic like finger tapping). In addition to all their other benefits steroids cause you to get more out of each training session.
