hiiii

Endurance sports such as cycling or distance running put a significant amount of stress on an athlete's

entire system, from the lungs to the bloodstream to the muscles. In order to maintain stamina, an

athlete's muscles require steady supplies of oxygen contained within red blood cells. In theory, more red

blood cells should give an athlete a natural edge during competition. This questionable training

philosophy is behind an illicit practice called "blood doping," also known as "blood packing." !!!!!
