Ballan and Santambrogio out of the Giro

[Benotti69]

I can see there being a mass exodus to somewhere warm and nice, say like Girona by loads of dopers wanting to find a more friendly police and judicial system...

that'll put up the property prices. better get in quick

Ballan: “Is that G?”
Nigrelli: “Yes, of course.”
Ballan: “But how do you take it?”
Nigrelli: “By mouth.”

Can you really take GH orally? I thought the molecule was too large?

That's gotta be a pretty big molecule if you can't fit it in your mouth...

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

I misread that as 'can you take George Hincapie orally'

Could be possible that "G" stands for Gelato?

erm... Guido?

Joe Papp tweeted that he was puzzled because HGH is supposed to be injected. It would not be the first time the police gets the code speak for a substance wrong.

Unless, as has happened before, it was just reported incorrectly....

 

[Benotti69]

erm... Guido?

ahem.....Giuseppe ....................Saronni.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Too many white folks on these boards.

Everybody knows G stands for Gangsta.

Recognize.

Fo' shizzle.

Around 10 years ago there was some sort of 'precursor' you could take orally that was supposed to help crank up your HGH. Around the time Androstenidione was popular in the States.

I'm no chemist, so it could have been something that sucked money out of Masters' pockets and had no effect...

When I was flying last there was an advert in the in-flight magazine for an HGH anti-ageing remedy which was supposed to be taken orally.

Wasn't the problem of EPO behind us?

From the CN Article:

On April 20, 2009, Ballan speaks to Nigrelli about taking EPO.

Nigrelli: “How many have you done?”
Ballan: “This is the fifth one.”
He then adds a little later: “This is how I’ve done EPO...”

Would this be the the best time to cite this qoute from 2001 (yup, 2001):

the International Cycling Union ... concluded: "We think that the problem of EPO no longer influences cycling at the highest level."

Just wondering if they might want to reconsider that conclusion some ten years later.

Dave.

 

[El Pistolero]

Ban him for life. Basically admitted to having done EPO numerous times during his career. Bye bye.

The one with the 70-year-old "Doctor," shirtless and ripped?

I fly a lot and always laugh when I come across that in the in-flight mag. Wonder how anyone can possibly buy it but then that ad's been running regularly for a long time so it must be generating some revenue.

Why don't they just kick the entire Lampre team out of the Giro?
