Guy was doing EPO and got nicked for a billards tourny. Seriously, what possible good would doing a blood doping agent do you unless the pool hall was located in the upper reaches of the Andes or Himalayas? It's not like you're stroking your stick for hours on end*.

Amphetamines would be more conducive to prolonged stick stroking, anyway. That is, if you were so inclined and all. Which I'm totally not, because I usually drink when I play, and after a couple pitchers I just can't perform.

Really, after a few pitchers, I can perform all night long.















I just cannot seal the deal.

I honestly think I get better at pool after 3 pints.

That's not the booze talkin'.

Yeah, I call the beer "golf lube" or "bowling lube" depending on the circumstances, but there is a deleterious effect after a certain tipping point-- which for me occurs around beer #3. My golf swing loosens up, my bowling ball spins and tracks better to the sweet spot, and the Black Snake unerringly seeks out its prey to devastating effect, yet once past that second beer, I have to ride the wave like a surfer, so to speak, lest I either get passed by or crash and burn.

Green golf lube today. Shot a 43, which while not fantastic for somebody with decent skillzzzz, happens to be terrific for me.

Par 36? Depending on the course I can pull a 40.

The only performance boosters I can think of for pool would be beta blockers, to calm the nerves and steady the hands.

Prescription amphetamine use is rampant on the US tour.

In all fairness to billiards, prescription amphetamine use is rampant in pretty much any occupation one can name. Hell, it's pretty rampant amongst the unemployed, too.
