brewerjeff said:My favorite doping excuse was when Simoni said the cocaine came from some candy his mother (grandmother?) sent him from Peru, or Bolivia or some such place. And the didn't know A THING about it. Way to go Gilberto! (I had a college professor once who said you could get out of his lecture if 1) you had a letter from a doctor or 2) if you could think of an excuse he had never heard.)
ps: he got off

Ferminal said:I think the sticking point is the result he got only a week later.
BroDeal said:Not just that. His hemoglobin and hematocrit were very low. He would have had to have lost enough blood to make his blood values look suspicious. That probably means more than 500 ml. That is a lot of blood to bleed. He would have freaked out and gone straight to the nearest hospital.
Sydney Sider said:This is not an excuse but one of the funniest doping stories i have ever heard was one of the Macdougall Brothers (Rugby League in Australia ) being approached by a Dope tester in the change rooms after the game for a sample and he literally got up legged it from the change room jumped the fence of the stadium and just kept legging it.
Im unsure of then final outcome after this happened but talk about an admission of guilt.
For people who dont know the 2 older brothers of this guy had already tested positive to prohibited substances in the past

flyor64 said:+1. It will DEF freak you out if it happens and surely you go directly to a hospital...
It's an absolute crapload of blood (pun only slightly intended)...more than one imagines it could/should be.
I seems a viable reason for suspicious values...BUT as someone mentioned later down thread, the strong race result just a week afterwards is what has me scratching my head. I just can't fathom how that could happen....
DonTickles said:When I was stationed in Iraq a buddy of mine had a bleeding hemorrhoid. I guess he had it for a while and didn't tell anyone. He looked pretty pasty and eventually passed out from blood loss in front of someone, which is when he was forced to get help. He said he was too embarrassed to get help before then.
craig1985 said:Not saying it is unbelievable, but Li Fuyu's positive test is being blamed on 'poor food safety standards in China'.
"There have been several scandals in China, with Clenbuterol poisoning of people by eating heavily contaminated meat. My best guess would be that something like this caused Fuyu Li's positive. I hope he will be treated fairly in his process in China."
