Michael Rogers positive for clenbuterol

[TANK91]

I did not say you should hate Sky. I said you defend them like there is no tomorrow, something i have only seen Brits do, at least here. And no it wasn't a question(?).

Ok mate fair enough sorry i mis understtod im a fan of Froome more than anything, Froome and Quintanan are my fav riders but i like Thomas and alot of brits Kennaugh etc. If Froome moved to another team id support Froome which goes against the grain of people on here. Shocked you said im a fanatic though i dont sit inclinic all day everyday talking about Sky, i came in today dude because someone else failed a test thats all.

So can someone aswer me will he be banned for life with 2 doping positives someone said he got caught at Telekeom

He was never caught, officially. Hence why he was deemed a teflon doper.

Klödi's reign goes on.

Rogers has no previous doping sanctions.

Anyone know the lab that tested Roger's sample? Was it Cologne?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

According to the UCI press release, it was the lab in Tokyo.

Tokyo I believe.

edit: redundant

 

[McLovin]

I still don't believe he was in that car in 2006. Sinkewitz never said Rogers was. Kessler, Mazzoleni, Kloden, Gonchar and Sinkewitz. Can't imagine any of them staying out and waving at the others and saying 'bring me a fridge magnet guys!".

Cheers. Will the levels be as low as Contadors?

Correction noted. It was Franke, not Sinkewitz. Sinky had spoken with Franke among others, but there's no way of knowing if Sinky was Franke's source on this occasion.

"Professor Werner Franke, made fresh claims implicating the entire T-Mobile team in the 2006 tour, of which Rogers was a part.

"According to information I have, the entire T-Mobile team went (to the University Clinic Freiburg) and resorted to blood transfusions," Franke was reported to have told a German radio station. "This information is considered so compromising that for the moment there has been no inquiry.""

Maybe he wasn't in the car on the rest day, but "the entire T-Mobile team" would include our good friend Mick.

Is Clen banned in ALL sports? anyone know?

Any that comply with the WADA code for sure.

Its a specified substance, with no lower limit.

Rogers - about time really

 

[Roude Leiw]

Lol what does that say about the team of his own brother?

Kennaugh is one of the sky lads I actually believe in, but it does seem strange the brother of someone on the inside is so frank and open.

 

[burning]

He dodged pretty much everything for years, then got caught in China, this doesnt make sense to me at all

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

shouldnt be anything but a warning.

 

[the sceptic]

shouldnt be anything but a warning.

give him a 6 month offseason ban if he talks about the dark year at sky.

 

[Parrulo]

Just when you think cycling has gotten stale. . .

Gotta love this sport

What the....

Does this muppet forget he rode with his brothers team?

 

[proffate]

This is so weird, I mean, seriously, doping at Japan Cup? An insignificant race before vacation period? Was he already trying to stay slim while going down on the sumo wrestlers food or something?

I lolled.

maybe he was fumbling around in the dark for his multi-vitamins and got the wrong bottle?

edit: maybe this was contamination. Maybe it was a case of "get on the clen right now because of plausible deniability." The Japan Cup is not a big race and I don't know the first thing about it. But something about this headline, "Rogers wins Japan Cup alone in the rain"[1] sounds like it meant something to someone...

thank you, I posted it for purpose. I can even agree with that "about time" , but the fact is that his previous team (Sky) has nothing to do with his positive test

A quick body building forums search suggest 4-5 days for a planned dose.
(Where else would you look for advice on steroids ?)

An accidental dose in meat would be less.

The Cologne lab certainly can detect longer (lower threshold) maybe Tokyo is on board for that as well.

 

[BradCantona]

An athlete has full responsibility for what they put in their body, contamination isn't an excuse. Especially not when it's known the local cuisine isn't always trustworthy!

You feel a bit for the poor sod that is clean, but fails a test due to such a cockup; given just how many have actually doped and gotten away with it. Although whose to say that person has ever existed.
