I found this reply from RealGains on a forum that I kept. The last paragraph is ironic.
'Not a flame friend and this is not directed to you.... but I will go all out here......because I am sick ad tired of people talking about things that they have no clue about....no clue.
The man was caught with the riders favorite corticoid in his blood.....triamcinolone!!!!
Most people do not understand that whole incident because they do not know the power of corticoids and that they are heavily used....and they "bought" the complete rubbish from Lance and company regarding the saddle cream. It was smart though....because in those days a rider would be hrd pressed to be busted for something that could be used for "medical reasons" like a saddle cream AS LONG AS a prescription could be found.
Triamcinolone is the corticoid of choice(second is dexamethazone).....I know ...I have used it many times. It is very powerful and in fact I felt that it gave me the second best boost in performance, behind a high crit.
It is taken, by IM injection, 48 hours out from a race or more frequently in stage races. It works by acting as an anti-inflammatory at the legs(even though it goes systemically). Timing of the dosing is critical because if done improperly it can "block you". Done right it is UNREAL....your legs feel like steel rods.....you can hammer a bigger gear longer...and day to day recovery is through the roof!
However, if used too frequently they can shut down your own cortisol production and that requires a taper off the drug or you are in serious trouble. If used too often it is very catabolic and it will also suck bone out of you and ruin joints.
It is more dangerous for the riders health than epo...BY FAR...as long as you know what you are doing with epo. Dr. Dope Ferrari was perfectly correct....epo is n more dangerous than 10 glasses of orange juice....but he forgot to add the IF you know what you are doing part...Gee now I am off on a tangent.
SO...there you have it...a TRUE LESSON in what "Lance" had in his blood!
WE HAS BUSTED.....man would like like to be the one to interview "Lance".
Even now....do you know how many riders in the last tour had a TUE for corticoids(for their sore knees) HA! What a joke!
Some day his former team mates will spill the beans as to what really went on behind the doors of the best doping program know to man.....it might take 10- 20-30 years but it WILL come out.
Cheers
