- Two groups of trained cyclists did the same amount of hard interval work — but only one improved VO₂ max. In this video, Anthony breaks down the research behind that surprising result, the interval sessions that consistently produce the biggest gains, and why pacing matters more than most riders think. He also looks at an unusual VO₂ max block that produced a 4.6% improvement in just four weeks, and whether it’s actually worth trying yourself.

In this episode, Anthony looks at the case through a legal lens, examining the evidence, the burden of proof, the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s reasoning, and why the final ruling still leaves room for debate more than 15 years later.
