Michael Rogers positive for clenbuterol

[ulrikmm]

Is Clen banned in ALL sports? anyone know?

It is allowed in bullfighting

 

[The Hitch]

lol what? who the hell tests positive at Japan cup?

Iirc ricco was doing his transfusion at the tour of who gives a ****.

 

[Bexon30]

Tinkov got a bit too cocky, so Cookson put his foot down.

Teams doping programmes need to faultless and well oiled now. Doping old school will lead to capture. New products are the name of the game now.

 

[LaFlorecita]

He must have stopped off in China on the way.

He did actually, he raced in Beijing.

Jonathan Breyne positive for clen too, just got announced, he raced in China as well

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Quick whats the status of clenbuterol in cows in Japan?

Couldn't he have ingested it in Beijing?

EDIT: LaFlorecita beat me to it

 

[Poursuivant]

It is allowed in bullfighting

Lol.

How is it taken, is it injected, tablet?

Could be a big loss for Saxo this, was strong in the Tour i thought

 

[gooner]

That's the excuse he'll play. It's a banker.

Not that I would shed any tears when Rogers would be suspended, but it wouldn't surprise me when he is genuinely victim of contamination this time.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Not sure if it's an excuse, though. It's a silly way to get caught that late in the season.

 

[fraserhughes]

If it is confirmed and he gets a 2 year ban that will effectively end his career.

In that case it will be interesting to see if he has anything to say about his time at Sky....

 

[jens_attacks]

if they ate in china, they will escape any sanction in my opinion


now


found the meat

 

[SundayRider]

Interesting. Must have got a bit careless towards the end of his career. Hopefully all this talk of 'can we stop talking about what happened 10-15yrs ago' will stop.

 

[maltiv]

That's the excuse he'll play. It's a banker.

That's not just an excuse, it's probably the truth as well. The chances of getting meat that's contaminated with clenbuterol in China is pretty high. It's also convenient for his defense that another rider tested positive too.

I mean, of course Michael Rogers is doped. But not with Clenbuterol. If he wanted to lose weight he'd use AICAR.

To me it sounds way more probable that he ate meat in China, than him using Clenbuterol to lose weight after the season was finished.

 

[roundabout]

That's the excuse he'll play. It's a banker.

No really. People have been warned about meat in China and teams take steps to avoid contamination in Beijing.

He is either unlucky, stupid or negligent. And good luck proving the unlucky part.

Edit: stupid goes under negligent.

 

[Christian]

lol, good one

 

[DirtyWorks]

... teams take steps to avoid contamination in Beijing.

Link please.

If we see a cluster of positives from riders who did the Tour of China, then I'm inclined to believe it was in the meat supply.

Tyler Hamilton having a laugh. Gold. Karma indeed.

Yup. Disappointing, we'll have to wait for the AICAR results to see any action.

best I can do on short notice

VeloNation understands that some teams are instructing their riders to eat fish or chicken, rather than the more risky red meat.

interesting.

so they were warned to not get tested in the days to come
probably the lab in japan had a sensitive test and found some small traces
i say he will escape

 

[hfer07]

LOL - I just got a flashback to the LA/Bruyneel days when a rider would switch teams & suddenly performance dropped dramatically & popped + afterwards.....

but how a rider such as Michael Rogers can dope after riding "clean" and so impressively during the 2012 season at SKY? what was "missing" this year in his training that "forced" him to recur to sin?

 

[webbie146]

Damn Rogers left Sky and he went straight back to doping

 

[thehog]

There were no role models at Saxo. He went back to his old ways.

Shows that ZTP works only at 460w.

MOD EDIT:
Lets not over egg the pudding thehog....it was only 450W

cheers

Contaminated meat is still a problem in China here's a story from last month: http://www.swimmersdaily.com/2013/11/11/clenbuterol-contaminated-meat-still-a-problem-in-china/

That's no excuse, all the teams know about that. I heard about Belkin bringing there own food to avoid those kind of problems.
