As I understand it is mostly urine tests because of the difficulty of drawing blood during competition.brownbobby said:Escarabajo said:I like this theory as well. He was probably using an inhaler during the race within the rules but the contents in that blood bag made it worse.Kretch said:Blanco said:I'm with Jaksche and Digger with this. Blood bag. Huge amounts of salbutamol taken between two races, for weight loss. He then withdrew blood for a BB full of salbutamol. He probably wanted to reinfuse it for Angliru stage, but panicked after Los Machucos and get it back straight away.
This. The most reasonable explanation for the salbutamol spike.
Memories of Contador come to mind. Different drugs but similar failed logistics!
