Who said it was a bother?

I love the payoffs but I love the journey, too. Can't find that in a pill.

Though I'm all for the less-inclined to enjoy the benefits of being healthy.

Very interesting that they mentioned anti-doping agencies. Seems like a great fit for professional cyclists.

Yeah, sounds like the researches said "Oh sh-t!" and called WADA right away to give them the indicators for it.

Just think .... 45% increase in endurance??  You'd see some seriously fast racing at the top end of the field .......

I can see the ad now...

"Are you overweight? Do you enjoy cheeseburgers? Does going to the gym cut into your TV time? Have we got a pill for you!


It's a great promotion of laziness for the millions of couch potatoes.

I'd say abuse of these drugs for performance gains is almost a certainty.  I can see them being widely prescribed before too long.  Oh well, to each his own.  Not something that I'd want to do.

I'd rather think about the more positive ways it could have potential...

M.D., M.S., other connective tissue and/or genetic muscular diseases, spinal cord injury rehab, other rehab...

I want to know why they have a picture of the cool "Old School P.E." classes here in my state at the top of the article!!

Anywho, I can see the benefits for the disabled or for those just starting out on an exercise program. BIG gains for not as much work, then the *good* doctors will decrease the meds as their patients are able to increase the work.
