@Kojo,

@manpe,

Okay, I shall.

This is what I look like. I swear.

Yes, they call me Il Pirata, but my real name is Marco Pantani.

You look like a dirty porn star

Do you know who that is?

Marco Pantani (13 January 1970 – 14 February 2004) was an Italian road racing cyclist, widely considered one of the best climbers in professionalroad bicycle racing.^[1][2] He won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia in 1998, being the first Italian since Felice Gimondi in 1965 to win the Tour de France. He is the last cyclist to win the Giro and the Tour in the same year.

His attacking style and aggressive riding turned him into a fan favorite in the late 1990s. He was known as 'Il Pirata' because of his shaved head and the bandana and earrings he always wore.^[3] At 1.72 m and 57 kg, Marco Pantani had the classic build for a mountain climber.^[4] His style contrasted with that of time-trialling experts such as the five-times Tour winner Miguel Indurain.^[5]

Although he never tested positive, his career was beset by doping allegations. In the 1999 Giro d'Italia, he was expelled due to his irregular blood values. Although he was disqualified for "health reasons", it was implied that Pantani's high haematocrit was the product of EPO use. Following later accusations, Pantani went into a depression from which he never fully recovered. He died of acute cocaine poisoning in 2004.

edit: WHOA MINDFUCK, HE SHARES MY BIRTHDAY. I'm paranoid I'll die at 34 as well now.

What if the EPO kills me? Like it nearly killed Fabrice Muamba and like how it killed Antonio Puerta, Marc-Vivien Foe and Dani Jarque?

Funny thing about that, is my surname, when translated to English, actually means 'the king of medicine'.

A cocktail of cocaine, EPO and diuretics (used to mask the presence of EPO from anti-doping agencies) is lethal. To save his image, the coroner would have pronounced the cause of death to be cocaine only. No one wants to hear that a legend like Il Pirata was doped to the eyeballs, even though everyone knows it.

WHS was playing on a stereotype that the majority of doctors in a lot of Western countries (including the UK, I'd imagine) are Indian/South Asian.

It's really no fun. A couple of years ago I went to see my family in India and Sri Lanka. Both sides of the family asked me this question at least 3 or 4 times:

'So, Eric, when are you becoming a doctor?'

Me: Never.

'Oh, you want to become an engineer? Great.'

Me: ....

Oh and yeah the majority of doctors up here are Indian tbf. Not as many South Asian ones though.
