Talk:Major Taylor

message: The "List of doping cases in cycling" contained a thin accusation -- that because Major Taylor spoke of experiencing hallucinations, he was probably taking nitroglycerine. That accusation has been removed, so the link to the section is no longer appropriate. 
(==1896==
* Marshall Taylor of the USA was the American champion.  He refused to continue a New York race, saying: "I cannot go on with safety, for there is a man chasing me around the ring with a knife in his hand."Bearings, US, 24 December 1896, cited Ritchie, Andrew, Major Taylor, Bicycle Books, US, 1988  Nitroglycerine was used to stimulate the heart after cardiac attacks and was credited with improving riders' breathing, but they suffered hallucinations from the exhaustion and the drugs. Novich, Max M., Abbotempo, UK, 1964) 
Taylor was exhausted from riding for several hours during the six-day race at Madison Square Garden. He did complete this competition.  https://books.google.com/books?id=qrEMV_uiKFoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=andrew+ritchie&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOzYOurOyFAxUpAjQIHb5xBAYQ6AF6BAgOEAI#v=onepage&q=hallucinations&f=false  On page 18 of his autobiography, Taylor describes being "sleepy, hungry, thirsty and fatigued, and begged them to allow me to dismount."  https://books.google.com/books?id=BLUKAQAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=major+taylor&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1-LuYruyFAxW5weYEHWOfBacQ6AF6BAgPEAI#v=onepage&q=six-day&f=false  KThistory (talk) 11:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
