[Other Sport] Chris Froome cleared over Vuelta drugs test - case dropped

[afcb]

I read on one of the cycling forums that to achieve that level of salbutamol in his system he would have to take 20 puffs of an inhaler.

Make of that what you will.

Doctors orders though. Very important that.

What cycling forum. What I've read suggests it could be at that level after 3 puffs.

I'll make of it that probably not the same source as a lot of the actual medical opinions.

Not that I've read this one but on the strength of Moore's books that I have read I'd imagine this is worth a go.

From what I have read about Lewis, the levels he tested positive to are now legal under WADA and IOC rules. At the time he tested positive, it wouldn’t have resulted in an automatic suspension, but would only have triggered a “please explain”.

The CN forum by any chance?

I thought I disliked the Sky team, but there's a lot of posters on that forum that take it to a whole different level. Loads of them will be rubbing their hands in glee at this Froome news I'm sure.

Most I have taken is 12. During a 5-a-side. And all that did was get me to just about keeping up.

Was Nigel Adkins playing?

Fair play to Mrs Wiggins for staying classy over this.

Listening between the lines, the chaps reckon there's no getting out of it and CF should have started a self imposed ban already as that would then be taken off the 6 months he's likely to get.

I think the greater concern for Froome is that when he hangs his cleats up and starts to gain weight he’ll start looking like Wayne Rooney.

He's a peanut headed, snub nosed runt now, he's not exactly going to get any better with age is he? Have him and Jimmy Somerville ever been seen in the same room/asthma clinic?

 

[Stat Brother]

No...


...nobody...



...oh well.

I guess being a cyclist means it's only a matter of time before he is properly caught cheating.
In the meantime let's all enjoy the Russian football team and their superhuman efforts.


Chris Froome: Anti-doping case against four-time Tour de France winner dropped

Great for the tour. Can't wait.

 

[Hamilton]

About time. The right decisions.

Sabutamol isn't even a Performance Enhancing Drug. It just ensures you can breathe.

 

[Weststander]

people are desperate for him to be a druggie....

you just have to see the lack of support he gets in the press....A lot of people regard him as a plastic brit and not the "lad" wiggins ( apart from the fact he probably did more to haul wiggins around the mountains in France to lead him to win the TDF )

Good post.

The British back-stabbers didn't get their wish today, with the clearing of his name.

Surely being able to breathe is performance enhancing, given the inevitable outcome of the alternative...?

Contador still has grand tours that still stand so does Pantani Lances entire career was wiped pretty much Riis still holds his title despite saying he was doping same for Roche and "Big Mig" is an exceptional specimen.

French legends Jalabert and Virenque were caught high level doping, including a failed EPO test.

Did they have their titles and category winning jerseys scrubbed from the record books? No.

There's always been a very special interest in investigating English-speaking riders, the 'interlopers' in a continental european mad sport. Ironically, due to great investigative work by english speaking journalists. Do the french and italian for exampe, zealously investigate their heros?
