Perfect! Thank you. The problem with that advice is chicken ranchers use clenbuterol just like beef ranchers. Same effects, more muscle, less fat. Your chicken will sell at a higher price.

In the EU, the regulatory environment for meat supply is excellent, so an athlete can have confidence in the meat eaten will not turn them positive. My understanding is China does not have the same level of regulatory effectiveness.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

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.

Quoted for truth, check please. Marginal loss.

Agree, 2 year ban coming up.
No need to waste too much time on this in first phase.

I'm so confused it feels like I'm back in the 90's. Riders don't dope anymore these days so why did Rogers test positive

It is a mystery

Call me a romantic but I miss the good old days when people were getting caught for man stuff like EPO, CERA, etc. Now it's Clenbuterol, used to get the weight down. What's cycling these days, a beauty contest or what?

well, if riders aim to beat Armstrong times up the mountains while staying under the radar, sophisticated cocktails will be needed.

Yea the Aicar/clen/others are compensating for the restrictions on blood-doping. Can't go to crazy because of the BP. Results are very impressive indeed

Good to see another journo come out on the right side

Here we go again.

The Australian explained to the team management that he never ingested the substance knowingly nor deliberately and fears that the adverse analytical finding origins from a contaminated food source.
Michael Rogers participated in Tour of Beijing the week before the Japan Cup and travelled directly from China to Japan.

This is only the beginning? Riis going down?

 

[BroDeal]

It is allowed in bullfighting

For the bull or the matador?

 

[Flamin]

Lol, this is pretty hilarious, only 2 weeks or so after Tinkov's statements

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

For the bull or the matador?

LOL. Outstanding.

 

[Miburo]

LMAO, this is some funny stuff, of all people to test positive it's Rogers xD.

Yet another similarity with us postal and sky

Even as a contador fan this is ****ing hilarious

Haha why is it more funny because it's Rogers?

 

[hrotha]

Clen, at the end of the season, after racing China. You know, it probably *is* a case of contaminated meat.

And I love it. Screw Rogers, he's had it coming for a looong while.

(Before anyone cries witch hunt or whatever: "no significant negligence" gets you a half sentence. Eating meat in China? ****ing significant negligence right there)

Doesn't Landis still claim that he was doping in '06 Tour but that they got him for Testosterone when in actual fact that time he wasn't taking T or something like that?

 

[mikkemus23]

He mixed up clean and clen cycling

 

[TANK91]

New it absoloute new it, Rogers would be poor moving from Sky they said, come on guys this ammo your not taking very well are you. Lol imagine if this was a Sky rider Cycling news would **** down, La Flo how do you feel now your idols domestique is a doper, yet you cheer for a doper all year round, and what does the others have to say for this. I spewed up when i read this just found out on BBC news lol. Sceptic how r u feeling today, if u guys want aswell i will go through previous threads and get you quotes when Rogers did not start well, everyone shut up in the TDF though dint they.

 

[Benotti69]

How many of Riis's riders have tested positive now?

So Rogers doped on T-Mob and now Saxo but not Sky where he had his best season?

 

[alanshearer]

Edit: stupid goes under negligent.

I agree. Any cyclist eating Chinese meat in China fails the IQ test.

I also thought clen clears from the system pretty quickly, especially if it's the result of contaminated meat (in which case the dosage is likely to be pretty low compared to a clen regimen). It might depend on when he left China for Japan, as it could be difficult to claim contaminated meat eaten 5 days ago.

 

[TANK91]

Hitch just cant let it go about Sky can he, even yday he said Froome and Wiggo were ridicolous saying their the only 2 riders who have made those sort of statement that we need to move on, every rider says it Hitch and you no it any loaded dope answer will 90/100 get the Froome and Wiggo response im sure you would agree their
