Andrew Hedgman looks like an equally inspiring role model given that his meeting with "life long idol Arnold Schwarzenegger" led to the revelation that Arnie would "be playing the Terminator in T5...[and the] news made headlines all over the world." Truly impressive stuff.The Private Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552373558616081857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666079978767379207.post-50480678159772671762014-10-23T16:23:54.389+11:002014-10-23T16:23:54.389+11:00I'm so glad I found this site!

But regardless of all that, Haematocrit levels are not on the WADA list, the 50% is only a UCI figure for "safety". So pump it up Shona.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666079978767379207.post-17691919796086629582014-10-20T10:42:25.005+11:002014-10-20T10:42:25.005+11:00A few readers have noted this apparent discrepancy...A few readers have noted this apparent discrepancy between Shona's very high haemoglobin levels (45.8%) and her chronically low (and self-diagnosed) iron levels.
