Article from last year on Lance's physiology

http://www.utexas.edu/features/2006/athletes/index.html

Not trying to voice an opinion here, just posting the link for anyone
who's interested in reading it. To summarize: it concludes that Lance's
success was a combination of some unusual physical attributes, a
scientific approach to improving his weaknesses, and a lot of
determination. The researcher is apparently very well respected so I
think it's worth reading - your mileage may vary.

Just one thing obviously incorrect in the article- it talks about him having
a heart the size of someone who's 6'4" while he's 5'5". Lance is actually
5'10" (and rides a 58cm frame... which would be quite difficult for someone
5'5").

Hey, whaddyano! I got one of those too! But my doc worries more than
congratulates on the existence of an "athlete's heart". Seems it goes with
lots of baddies. "Take it to the limit one more time......" Some sort of
song, I recall. Goes better with sex; sex is not a heavy tax on the cardio
system. It may tax the wallet, if you don't watch out.

Need a refresher in reading comprehension? The article was talking
about Leo Manzano, who's 5'5".

You are referring to this part:

"When we took images--an echocardiogram--of his heart, we saw
that it was much bigger than average. Although he's only 5'5",
he has the heart of someone who's around 6'4".

Then you have to read the paragraph right before it too:

"... Last summer, for example, I did some testing on a very, very
talented UT student athlete named Leo Manzano. He's one of the
best `milers' in the U.S. and was a top performer in the NCAA
finals.

That is, those numbers apply to Leo, not to Lance.

And that's the kindest of interpretations on sex being hard on the wallet.

Evidently!

Not the first time, nor will be the last time I make a mistake like that.

Athletic heart should rightly refer to someone who's cardiac
enlargement is due not only to dilatation but also hypertrophy of the
cardiac muscle. The total cardiac output increases, as does the pulse
volume. This is why a trained athlete at rest has a lower heart
rate--the heart doesn't work as hard at rest as would a sedentary heart.
This is very different from cardiac enlargement seen in
cardiomyopathies. In this case the heart enlarges but the cardiac walls
often thin, the heart doesn't empty completely when beating, and cardiac
output decreases.
