How can you say the blood tests don't make you weak?

This is for all the experts we have on NSB. Feel free to put your expertise on display here. I hear all the time, "How is a couple teaspoons gonna make you weak?" Well, a couple teaspoons multiple times add up. Sure your fluids (blood plasma) regenerate within about 24 hours if you drink enough water, but red blood cells take weeks to regenerate. Athletes are willing to go through great lengths to cheat by using EPO and blood-doping for that little bit of extra red-blood cells because of the enhanced stamina from the increased oxygen-carring capacity. So don't you think losing those little bit of red blood cells would have an adverse effect on stamina and oxygen-carrying capacity?

Pac had 2 tubes of blood taken from him 19 days before the Clottey fight.

He went on to throw over 1,000 punches and looked like he couldve went 5 more rounds.

you know professional cyclists get tested during a race, right?

People are speaking as though blood doesn't replenish.

While they're on their bikes in the middle of a race? Damn that's crazy. Thanks for that info.

Did you read the OP? Blood does replenish, yes. Blood plasma in approximately 24 hours. Red blood cells, a couple weeks.

Usain Bolt got tested the SAME day he broke 3 world records. Its a lame ass excuse.

I think it might have a mild affect on training, when i saw the amount of blood taken in the 24 7 series it was alot more than i expected

Right. So as long as we both weak, its koo. With your logic, let them both take steroids and all is fair.

The test does`nt make you weak you mentally *******ed clown.I was speaking hypothetically.
