UCI helped Froome with illegal(?) TUE at Romandie

[McLovin]

Yes this is what 40mg of horse steroids can do:

That's what I'm talking about. Bring it on!
Luckily he didn't dropped Spilak or I would have smashed my notebook.
You're on fire. I hope you have more videos like this one. Pure porn of cycling.

 

[the sceptic]

Yup

French newspaper wasnt it? Probably just someone who is jealous and bitter.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Kick back with a beer and read time..this thread should be.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Yup

Brailsford has hair now?

 

[peloton]

Funny...

emergency TUEs are always granted for exacerbations of asthma:



he is asthmatic, he had a respiratory infection

a respiratory infection in asthmatics can lead to an acute exacerbation of asthma

and acute exacerbations of asthma are no joke, they can send you straight to accident and emergency if badly treated or not treated at all

therefore, athletes with an acute exacerbation of asthma have the right to an emergency TUE, in fact they even have the right to a retroactive TUE if necessary. this is clearly stated in the WADA paperwork

http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/Science_Medicine/Medical_info_to_support_TUECs/WADA-Medical-info-Asthma-5.0-EN.pdf


so i'm surprised they are making such a fuss about it


... unless this is to do with his status as an asthmatic either not being registered or not having been renewed, which is another story altogether

This needs repeating..... sanity as opposed to Hog referring to Pred as a 'horse steroid' which is just misleading.

Boldenone\Equipoise are horse steroids FYI!

a respiratory infections in asthmatics can lead to an acute exacerbation of asthma.

40mg oral prednisolone once a day for 5 days is the typical treatment for an acute exacerbation of asthma. you see it being prescribed every day to asthmatic patients. i assume the sky doctor got his diploma in the UK.


the article by l'équipe says:
"Christopher Froome aurait utilisé une forte dose de corticoïdes pendant le Tour de Romandie (...)"

this is a gross exaggeration: 40mg is what everybody over the age of 12 gets

The Dawg actually waited for Spilak with the 40mg of love running through his veins.... pure porn.

“It was a really strong performance from Froomey. It was great to see and naturally everyone is really happy. The team rode very well," he told the Team Sky website.

“The moment to go was earlier than we thought it would be but when Nibali attacks there’s only one thing you can do and that’s follow it. Then obviously Froomey kept on riding and dropped everybody which was really impressive."

“Spilak was going well and Froomey waited a bit so they could ride together. He has the jersey now so Katusha are likely to defend the lead. They are traditionally a team which defends the jersey. It’s a pity not to get the stage win but the most important thing today was to take time on as many people as possible. Now we’re in a really good position for the time trial but first we need to get through tomorrow (Saturday). That’s not going to be an easy day.”

Impressive indeed.

Hope his cold, asthma, back wasn't playing up in the cold weather!

So what is the guy doing racing up mountains if this can send you straight to A&E?

It stinks.

So an infection was the reason not a back complaint? Why did Sky not just pull him from the race to save a scenario such as this. There's no need to compete if a course of drugs are required surely? Common sense should've been applied.
All in all it's not good for any party involved, luckily the English press are pre occupied at present, cheers Wayne.

And of course you missed that I was drawing a comparison between Armstrong's cosy relationship with the UCI and Froome.

By all means do that. But try to do so using the facts at hand rather than making up your own.

Funny...

Very funny...

I'm struggling how he could be any cleaner?

PURPOSE: To examine the prednisolone's ergogenic and metabolic effects during submaximal exercise.

METHODS: Ten recreational male athletes completed two cycling trials at 70-75% peak O2 consumption until exhaustion after either placebo (Pla, lactose) or oral prednisolone (Pred, 60 mg.d(-1) for 1 wk) treatment, according to a double-blind and randomized protocol. Blood samples were collected at rest and during exercise and recovery to determine ACTH, growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), DHEA, insulin, blood glucose, and blood lactate values.

RESULTS: Time of cycling was significantly increased after chronic Pred treatment (Pred: 74.5+/-9.5 min; Pla: 46.1+/-3.3 min, P<0.01). Pred intake significantly lowered basal, exercise, and recovery ACTH, DHEA, and PRL concentrations, whereas GH concentrations were significantly lowered by Pred after 30 min of exercise. Blood glucose and insulin were significantly (P<0.05) increased by Pred during the whole experiment and until 30 min of exercise. Blood lactate concentrations were higher after Pred versus Pla at 10 min of exercise until 10 min of recovery (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: From these data, short-term Pred intake did seem to significantly improve performance during submaximal exercise, with concomitant alterations in hormonal and metabolic responses.

It was an illegal TUE prescribed by the UCI.

Those are not facts?

You sure you're not Richie Porte?

 

[JimmyFingers]

I struggle to see how Froome could be any cleaner. Dont worry Jimmy, still never tested positive right?

How about you find a post from me saying Froome is clean? Won't stop you putting words in my mouth, will it?

how do we know it was illegal? i don't think we do, do we?

Sorry, forgot youre on the fence.

So how else did he get the TUE for an oral steroid?

The legality isn't clear.

What is clear is that it wasn't backdated.


The Hog sure does like to wallow in the snark eh?

<snipped repeated posting>

How many times are you going to post this?

 

[the sceptic]

Do we have an official statement from Walsh/Sky yet?

I should imagine that's how he got it Hog.

Maybe you should go back and read all the crap Brailsford has spouted about Sky doing things the right way and not just being seen to be doing it the right way. All the crap about TUEs and transparency.........

While Hog may not be the most accurate messenger, shooting him is just plain stupid.

Good. I hope Froome was able to rest and recover well during this period. It would be stupid to be outside in cold and wet conditions
