[Eyjafjallajokull]

Wow.

What's Clenbuterol?

 

[BroDeal]

The size zero pill. You can only use it for two or three weeks before it loses effectiveness.

Forum explodes in 3....2......

Oh, "clen". Yeah I've heard of that. Sends your heart rate crazy. Horrible stuff.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Wow.

What's Clenbuterol?

It's a bronchial medication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clenbuterol

He'll probably go the Petacchi route and say he took one puff too many.

"Volcano ash. I couldn't breathe".

Shock horror! The smallest name in the squad gets nabbed.
Wow, I'll go back to sleep...........

"Volcano ash. I couldn't breathe".

Perfect!

But the test was taken at Dwars door Vlaanderen, had the unpronounceable volcano exploded then?

He will need a TUE for that. (Dated before his AAF in March).

Susan

Yes. 4 days previously. But hadn't spread to mainland europe yet.

Yeah, thought it might've been someone higher up. I was thinking Horner before I opened the thread.

I'm sure I read somewhere that something like 40% (or maybe higher, I can't remember) of pro cyclists have a prescription for drugs often used for asthma..

Armstrong's a champ when it comes to getting TUE's after a positive test.

Susan

What do you mean unpronounceable. Eyjafjallajökull...it's pronounced just like it's spelled.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Must have been Mount Fuji then.
Or maybe it was LA's volcanic ass?

 

[Publicus]

"Volcano ash. I couldn't breathe".

Except it was March 23rd. A tad too early for Ejyafjallajökull-defense (the ash didn't start spreading until April 14th), but I like how you think. Maybe he can get a back dated TUE or something.

EDIT: Btw, I see you changed for avatar from 12, to 11. What's the significance?

 

[Bicicleta]

Weren't he and Beppu the ones that Trek wanted Bruyneel to sign to they could market their bikes in the Orient or something like that?

This is interesting, but odd - a sacrificial lamb perhaps?

In many countires Clen is not approved for human use. That would seem to be a problem for an athlete who travels.

 

[BroDeal]

It is more commonly known as the "tongue twister volcano" or, sometimes, the "Scrabble volcano."

Brown envelopes are changing hands as we write...

That's gotta be the scrabble bonus level or something.

Giro countdown

 

[hfer07]

pfff-Li Fuyu is just the sheep to be sacrificed by JB & the UCI to maintain the so called "fight against doping" facade in place....
At the end someone has to go down..............

Giro countdown

The Giro that starts in 15 days time on May 8th? Or the Giro di Toscana that is in 11 days time?

 

[issoisso]

I just realized it's been 8 years since a Bruyneel rider was caught red-handed. Wow, it's been forever.

The Giro that starts in 15 days time on May 8th? Or the Giro di Toscana that is in 11 days time?

The Giro d'Italia that starts in 11 working days . Because Weekends aren't days. They're heaven
