Corticoid testing in Dunkerque

CN´s article mentions corticoid tests, Charteau maybe being positive.

Older French rider, and French riders of his generation love this stuff. But as usual, no problem, normally you send your TUE afterwards, and get cleared.

It´s a minor issue. 60-80 percent of the French, and probably other nations, have their TUE, many others take their corticoids from time to time.
Just basic treatment, this corticoids, and Synacthene. The real differences are made by blood infusions and EPO.

Business as usual. Great M.P.C.C. . War against doping by fighting against corticoids. Just like hoping to cure cancer by prescribing vitamin pills.

I applaud this move by the MPCC and the UCI - it's a major step forward in the fight against doping.

Now, they need to test for cough syrup abuse in the Circuit de la Sarthe, then we'll see some big names start to fall.
