How we know: Confessed to systematic doping in a 2013 televised interview.
Illustrative reconstruction. Exact personal protocols are rarely public. This is a representative cycle in our standard format. Per his 2013 confession and the USADA reasoned decision — endurance doping (oxygen-carrying + recovery), the opposite goal to a mass cycle. It is information for comparison, pending expert review — not a verified log, a prescription, or medical advice.
