Crazy right?
This cross season I'm definitely going to take mad bong hits, six or seven
puffs of my daughters albuterol, take some imported Pseudoephedrine, squirt
some cortisone in my ears and other places, snort a bunch of snus and drink
a gallon of red bull before heading out into the masters c category. Watch
out for my mighty wrath. If you get a waft of skunk, that weird red bull
smell and that faint cortisone scent, that will be me passing you at my new
temporary ftp of 550 watts. I'll probably be lapping second place before he
get to the end of the first lap. I might even ride a couple of laps
backwards just for fun.
It's not all technically illegal, but it's definitely doping on some level.
