The right of…

ultimately affects other systems and processes in the body. This translates to the diminishment of key functions such as electrolyte imbalances, accumulation of toxins, a shift in the maintenance of fluid balance, and a decreased ability to produce erythropoietin (Lowth, 2016).

results in Kidney Failure. Kidney failure affects the body in very negative way. At this stage you will need dialysis or a complete kidney transplant. (WebMD, 2016) Complications include Anemia because the kidneys are not producing the hormone erythropoietin, which makes the red blood cells and this causes the fatigue, ureic syndrome can cause sleepiness, but the high levels of toxicity in the blood can be very poisonous, if the levels become high, heart and bone disease, and…

After a few weeks, when the kidneys detect a chronically low oxygen level, a hormone called erythropoietin is made.

Armstrong was banned from any recognized competition for life and his competitive results from 1998 forward were disqualified.

(Linden 2012.) Perhaps Armstrong used masking agents like protease, diuretics, or epitestosterone…
