Lemond wasnt blood doped.

With blood doping you typically see a 10-15% increase in VO2 max and an FTP increase of 15-25% in elite male cyclists.

When doped you sustain a higher percentage of FTP.

Lemond, had a VO2 max of 92 and an FTP power of 390. Thats 5.8 watts per kilo compared to Pharmstrong's 6.7 watts per Kilo.

Lemond was not doped.

EPO hit the Tour in 1991. Lemond went from dominating the Tour de France in 1990 to finishing 7th in 1991 at a higher level performace wise. Lemond was the first rider to use power in training. He says he was stronger in 91'.

O'Grady focused for much of his career on races like the 4k pursuit which are all about VO2 max and not related to building FTP power. ITs FTP power/Kilo that wins these Grand Tours with all the MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. Your comparing Lance to a 4K pursuit rider. Yes, O'Grady has the potential for high FTP power BUT DOESNT HAVE IT. I highly doubt at an 82 he would be faster.

I Need to put it out there that O'Grady tested a 91,that was jacked for sure. No cyclist has tested above 92.Some Nordic Skier tested a 96 using his whole body.

The very fact that he won Paris-Roubaix solo at the end of a 6hr effort shows an extremely high FTP power, but he is a heavier man than Pharmstrong and it is FTP/kilo that wins Grand Tours. Lance has a higher(jacked) VO2 max than O'Grady(jacked). Lance's FTP percentage of Vo2 max is larger because thats been his focus.

O'Grady was jacked for that test and had no room for doping improvement after that.
mustardjunkie (November 14, 2008 at 7:45 pm)
Give lance the benefit of the doubt that he was not jacked during the 82 recorded VO2 max. You guys, with that his FTP would be about 390 in top form if his FTP is 83% of VO2 max. No way in a million years would anyone get over 390 at that VO2 max of his at 158 pounds.

Lance has been recorded with 495 watts at FTP before the Tour so that would require around a 96ml/kg VO2 max. He probably gained about 30-35% power at FTP from doping.

He jacked like hell...
mustardjunkie (November 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm)
LAnce will ride the tour with 96ml/kg unrecorded and his FTP numbers have been confirmed at near 500 watts during the Tour de France.

That requires around 96 ml/kg at his racing weight of 72 kilos.

I was talking about his undoped VO2 of 82. And that was in his prior youthful past. Now its likely more like 78. His undoped FTP would be no more that 370-380 tops in top form(unjacked).

I doubt he'd be at more than 340 right now if he was at his normal heamotocrit of 41%.

Exactly Tuber. most of these clueless buffoons like mustardjunkheaad havent got 1/100th the talent Armstrong has. Most of them are clueless armchair PC clowns who haven't a clue about most of the BS that they post. Lots of hot air clueless babble on their part and little more. And the idiot throws out high dose IGF-1, insulin claims etc to try to sound as if she knows what she's babbling about. Yeah right? LOL
