    Wanted to address something very important. ONLY ZANE HAS BEEN BANNED. Jake has had no positive drug tests in his career and therefore has not been implicated in this doping scandal.

      Of course Jake has no positive drug test. You don't use your own product that you sell. Jake is Zane's drug supplier. So why would he be using his own limited supply?

    • @johnstirling6597

      What are the chances, given that the brothers were so close that Jake did not know? Also given that up until very recently Kenya ,(and to a lesser extent Ethiopia) had fairly dismal drug screening standards and protocols does this raise a question of potential wider use?

    EPO or Epoetin Alpha is a red blood cell stimulator given to patients with anemia. Usually these are cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. As an Oncology nurse I give EPO and Neupogen for WBC stimulation at least once on every shift I work. The sad fact is, if these runners can train at high altitudes, a healthy body will generate more circulating RBC's. Which is why schools like Northern Arizona University have a huge edge in distance races. Using an expensive drug for more RBC's isn't smart. You can actually have too much circulating RBC's and throw off the proper proportions needed in the blood stream between plasma and all of the other circulating cells, which can actually harm performance. Ironically EPO can cause bone marrow cancers in some case or worsen any current cancer cells as it is basically a growth factor!

      "You can actually have too much circulating RBC's" - medlife crisis did a video on cyclists in the early days of epo that were taking so much their heart rate would slow to a stop in their sleep and they'd die. they started wearing a heart rate monitor to bed and it would sound an alarm when their hr got too low. they'd (hopefully) wake up and jump on an exercise bike to speed it back up.

    Bodybuilder here. Former d1 collegiate sprinter.
    PED use is rampant, even at a lower university level. I never used anything while running but began using anabolics a few years after retiring from track.
    From what I understand now about leveraging pharmacology for performance enhancing purposes, it is very easy to evade detection, given compound selection.
    Bio-identical hormones and peptides are the name of the game.
    Undetectable, as long as you keep aromatase inhibitors out of the equation.
    Chances are, he was given the wrong drug, or let his EPO, which is a natural occurring hormone, go out of range.
    I think the more likely of the two is he was given an EPO analog that wasnt biodentical, and therefore easily detectable on blood test. That doesn't even take into account the other shit he was probably running.

      People assuming everyone cheats because some athletes were caught is called speculation, not projection.
      If a person stated that everyone else feels guilty about cheating, but it is actually themselves who (secretly) feel guilty about cheating, but they wont admit it to themselves or others. That would be projection.
      For example, if 2 years ago Zane said “I bet John Smith is cheating and feels like he has no other choice”, but it was actually Zane who feels that way. With hindsight we could assume Zane was projecting his feelings onto John Smith. Because it was Zane who really felt that way
      Simply making an assumption (good or bad) based on evidence (strong or weak), isn’t projection.

    EPO is sometimes used to treat anemia. The problem is that there is a lot of corruption in Kenya; I remember seeing a documentary about how widespread it was for doctors to supply EPO to athletes, and anti-doping officials were taking various forms of bribes. I think that perhaps the only way to effectively enforce doping rules is to have an international organization for out of competition testing.

      Sorry to hear you are going through all that. In re: to EPO, steroids, HGH, and insulin (used by bodybuilders), it is all very dangerous if used incorrectly for performance enhancement. And it's dangerous even if you feel you're informed and think you are using it at the correct levels/frequency, because guess what....you or your coach might have it wrong. But that said, these top athletes think they have it down to a science in reaping the performance enhancing benefits and avoiding detection in tests, and it's so widespread, they need it to compete at top level, retain sponsorhips, and earn money, so that's why so many do it.

    It ain’t cheating if everyone is in on it. Humans are limited.

Super hero believers; a mindset that has been ingrained in many since childhood stage; to believe and look up to super heroes. So of course, many will do everything and anything to dismiss any allegations or to even think that the “super hero” they look up to isn’t a super hero at all, but merely human being with some ability who’s willing to do whatever it takes to be successful. Anyone that has done thwir due diligence knows and inner-stands, in todays day n age, passing a drug test is as ez as a,b,c’s unless one is really careless, gets ratted out, or they didn’t play wada a % of their running earnings in a timely manner like a former pro attested to me.

    Also, most of the patients on hemodialysis receive EPO routinely due to anemia caused by decreased EPO production in kidneys and mechanical blood cell damage due to hemodialysis. And many other "positive" uses in medicine mentioned in previous comments :). There is no such thing as performance enhancing drugs invented for the sake of being doping. All the tested for doping drugs have very specific use in medicine for ill patients.
    Not as Zane's excuse, but everybody knows that in Kenia almost everyone uses EPO as performance enhancing drug as it's cheap, accessible and running is the only way out of poverty for many people so they ready to do anything just to have a chance in their life. Theoretically, when Zane came to get a covid shot, a nurse misunderstood him and just administered a dose of EPO as they use to do for all the other "patients" in this runners clinic :).

    Sadly, several dozens of professional cyclists died of heart failure in the 90’s when the the doping doctors hadn’t yet figured out the protocols for EPO. Using these cyclists as lab research animals, they refined the protocols to prevent death and then the techniques to prevent detection. Armstrong never tested positive. So to those that say doping is not harmful are ignorant of the facts. Serena Williams has almost died twice because of doping.

Then she lost to Sharipova and the transformation began. She exhibits all the physical and behavioral traits of steroids and testosterone use. HGH could also be a factor. Her frame now rivals most male tennis players. Very prone to injury which she managed by limiting competition. Limiting competition also minimized testing. Her best defense against testing though was becoming a celebrity that promoted the WTA. That is how Armstrong really beat the testing. The UCI didn’t want their star to fall and the WTA likewise didn’t want their key star to fall. Long live Steffi Graf, the true all time champion.
