-A team of Swiss researchers found that when a hormone in the brain called erythropoietin (Epo) was elevated in mice, the mice were more motivated to exercise.

"Here we show that Epo increases the motivation to exercise"

Ok, so I can use epo then i can say i was using erythropoietin as excuse???

Or i can just inject me erythropoietin to ride faster? :D

And don't ignore that Epo is being investigated for its neuroprotective properties. Looks like Epo is going to be the new aspirin.

careful, EPO has also been found to feed cancerous cells fueling faster growth
in patients afflicted w/tumors

Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth. What's wrong with a bit of that in those quads and hammies? The funny thing is I have a ton of motivation to exercise and train, but I can't seem to find the time.
