“people the riders in the Tour de France used to get excess hematocrit from doping and using things like Ipoh they can push their hair matta Crudup hematocrit gives us a sense of oxygen carrying capacity so if we have a high hematocrit we will probably be able to do more aerobic exercise interestingly one of the concerns people have when they go on exogenous testosterone replacement is that can push the hematocrit too high and over excessive testosterone supplementation can cause hyper kragle ability if we get too many red blood cells in the blood in the blood vessels then we can get blood clots”
