Edgar Allan Poe

One of Lance Armstrong's nicknames for performance-enhancing drug erythropoietin (EPO), created as a sort of partial acronym: (E)dgar Allan (Po)e. (10/10/2013 Colbert Report: Reed Albergotti & Vanessa O'Connell)

Edgar Allan Poe helped me pedal to the top of this mountain.

butter

Lance Armstrong referred to the performance-enhancing drug erythropoietin (EPO) as “butter” because he stored it in his refrigerator's butter compartment. (10/10/2013 Colbert Report: Reed Albergotti & Vanessa O'Connell)

The Tour de France is coming up – make sure we've got enough butter in the fridge!
