Oops.

I have a vague recollection that diuretics may be used as masking agents. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can correct / expand on that.

Yes. You urinate more so that PEDs that are excreted through urine leave the body more quickly, so the glow period is shorter.

 

[Eeslliw]

I feel we are on the verge of a big bust within a year. Pick your favorite.

Yes this actually came up on Monday night football of all places, Furosemide was what they caught united goalkeeper Onana with, like laxitives for water, shorter glow times.

I see they turned off replies

I really doesn't make much sense for Hessmann to do this on this own.

 

[ManicJack]

I really doesn't make much sense for Hessmann to do this on this own.

If he was using diuretics for weight loss, I could see it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Unless the authorities are actually trying to scare JV, it can easily be displayed as one rider acting on his own accord. I very much doubt he's part of any kind of inner circle anyway.

However it's a bit funny that he got his best stage placing in the Giro by beating Baudin in the sprint.

 

[Red Rick]

Diuretic in an off period is certainly a weird one.

 

[NFTtiddies]

Ooo the lid is off!!!
It does seem WADA is putting those extra millions to use.
More to come.

Well here we go then

He's a big guy and if he let his hair down after the Giro then I suppose it was a weight loss thing ... ?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I feel we are on the verge of a big bust within a year. Pick your favorite.

Pick your favourite? Apologies but that's a bit of a strange question - as in who we think is most likely to be busted, or who we'd most like to see busted?

 

[hfer07]

but the "diuretics therapy" is a 101 no-go since day one. Why would Hessmann take such risk knowingly?

 

[DNP-Old]

Suddenly there's a whole different light shining on Roglic and his tendency of going for a pee mere minutes before the start of a MTF.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pick your favourite? Apologies but that's a bit of a strange question - as in who we think is most likely to be busted, or who we'd most like to see busted?

Most likely? I think Marc Hirschi could be a good candidate.

Who I'd like to see? In an ideal world? Pinot. Quite like the guy I just think the reaction would be absolutely hilarious.

I doubt it, as others have said, its the lesser gods that are being busted who will be hauled as a lone wolf.

We all know JV (and all cycling organisations) will do:

 

[staubsauger]

This couldn't have happened to @Red Rick or @Dekker_Tifosi as they would've drunk Lipton Ice Tea Sparkling instead of taking diuretic drugs.

Stupid Germans!

 

[Eeslliw]

Pick your favourite? Apologies but that's a bit of a strange question - as in who we think is most likely to be busted, or who we'd most like to see busted?

Whichever you like, they go hand in hand.

 

[Scarponi]

Hilarious stuff, the most no name rider of the team goes down after spring and July

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That will only happen if his goat medication accidentally ends up in his morning porridge.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

They have to go big or not at all. Surely popping a couple of guys at Hircshi level shows that you don't care to do anything about the big guns.

I would love a big roglic positive, similarly for the reaction of all the fans, but most likely padun and lutsenko or some Latin Americans. Maybe some more of the typical positives from u23 guys like hessman or unknown Italian conti riders will keep happening and that will be it

Don't jumbo have three strike doping clauses in their sponsor contracts?

You think Sepp is the most likely? I don't.

Three?!

Unless they are employing an early 90s Rick James on the team then the clause is meaningless

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Is this a RaboFail?

I just don't think "guy with the least resources also the most likely to test positive" is a particularly notable development. No big conspiracies needed

Did he think he has to push all boundaries to even make their third division team while the aliens are breaking records lol please
