Maybe. Or maybe you can't export it from the US to EU? Anyone out there know?

Thanks: I am not sure this export permit really tells us anything, though. If it is not for use on humans and it was supplied to Vansevenant for his own use this would be in breach of the permit, surely.

TB500 and Medivet Why would he buy it from Oz rather than the US where it is made (in Santa Cruz as far as I can see)? Or from another, closer supplier? As far as I can see it is only available to vets for trial purposes from Medivet, which counts out Vansevenant as a customer (he is not a...

Apologies if already posted. Ross Tucker's blog has some interesting comments on the RFEC decision in relation to strict liability and proof of inadvertent ingestion. He uses a comparison case from SA rugby. http://www.sportsscientists.com/

Rendell points out (pp. 133-134) that a conspiracy "seemed implausible" (due to the necessary involvement of a number of anti-doping officials) but possible, especially as the originator of the allegation was Forconi's former team manager (prior to his arrival at Mercatone) who "knew him...

That'll serve me right for not having the book to hand;): you are quite right that despite the predictability of the blood testing, Pantani was bolloxed by the ineptitude of his handlers. It is pretty amazing given the level of chaos that Pantani attracted that he survived so long before being...

Matt Rendell's thoroughly researched book looks in detail at why Pantani was caught out by the testers in his home tour that morning. It is worth reading if only for this. The evidence points to Pantani being surprised and unable to lower his crit before being tested by the vampires. There are a...

Am I missing something here? I haven't seen the print version of the article and the one forum member who has says there is little difference in substance between that and the online version (which is still there). What do you know that he does not?

+1 Their reportage may have a satirical edge at times, buy like Private Eye (in the UK) that does not mean their news stories are hoaxes. They have managed to get the Nobel lit winner right...

On the other hand maybe the video is disinformation intended to make anyone digging into Tailwind look like a crank...

Amazing. The CIA = Tailwind angle is perfect. All it needs is involvement from the Bush family and we are good to go. The comments are priceless too... can't wait for part 2.

After a bit more digging I found this related example in my search for power meter/estimation comparisons: http://www.cyclismag.com/article.php?sid=5207 which shows a 2.5% error for a comparison between Portoleau's estimated calculations for Chris Anker Sorensen and his SRM data for the...

Thanks especially for the second link which has some nice comparisons of direct and estimated power measurements.
