Former Rabobank and Team Sky doctor Geert Leinders has been handed a life-time ban by the US Anti-Doping Acency (USADA), Anti-Doping Denmark (ADD), and Anti-Doping Authority Netherlands (Dopingautoriteit). A three-man panel found the Belgian guilty of multiple doping violations during his time as chief team doctor at the Rabobank team.

Lol…O ovo de colombo… Se fosse a ser bem investigado a situacao do "juice" acabava o ciclismo profissional, e nos amadores e que eramos os grandes profissionais, ninguem ganha o Tour de franca ou outros grandes Tours a agua mineral…
Por isso amigo Bernalve agente ate gosta de os ver na televisao Estou como o outro… Deixa andar!!! lol

o relatório da Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) sai amanhã. entretanto já houve algumas leaks:

No rider came forward to voluntarily admit an anti doping violation

Leinders lumped in with Ferrari and Andreas Schmidt

Ohhhh - riders and others in the sport discussed changed in appearance and weight loss and were unable to explain it

One respected pro felt that 90% were still doping

Interviewees noted dramatic weight loss of certain riders which could only be explained by PEDs

Jesus - one doctor said that some recent big wins on the World Tour were a result of some members of the team using cortisone

to get their weight down to support the guy who won (who also used it) and this was a planned approach by the team management

One rider reckoned that 90% of TUE's were used for PE purposes.

Riders deliberately went to altitude not for training benefits but to explain any jump in values

Obrigado pelos spoilers Carolina.
Resumindo e concluindo, está tudo na mesma!

relatório completo: http://cdn.velonews.competitor.com/files/2015/03/CIRC-Report-2015.pdf

algumas partes interessantes:

Contador, won the 2010 Tour returned a positive test on July 21st, the second rest day of the race, with the sample sent to the Cologne laboratory. According to the CIRC report, this was because "the Cologne laboratory was able to undertake a more in-depth analysis for AICAR, insulin and clenbuterol."

All samples from the 2010 Tour besides those taken on July 12 and 21 were sent to the Lausanne laboratory for testing.

UCI legal department was not in favour of opening a procedure on the basis of the clenbuterol finding only, given their concern about the high possibility of failure.

The CIRC report does raise the issue of favourable treatment; in particular through interviewees who raised the question of why Contador was allowed to be notified in is home country.

While the UCI does come under pressure from CIRC regarding its decision-making processes, the report illustrates the propensity for an "unequal” testing due to the inconsistency of laboratories used by the UCI. CIRC adds its concern that only one laboratory, Cologne, was capable of detecting the amount of clenbuterol in Contador's sample.

It also appears that team organised doping is more likely still to take place at lower levels of competition, where anti-doping efforts are less concentrated. The Commission was told of a team below the UCI WorldTour recently involved in doping. It was claimed that the team manager and sports director brought a nutritionist into the team who advised a selected group of riders within the team on a doping programme. The instructions were to administer 1000 ml of EPO Zeta every second day after 11pm at night, and alternate in the winter with HGH and Lutrelef, a hormone. Their haematocrit levels were to be tested every third day, and amounts of EPO Zeta reduced to 500 ml as the season approached. The nutritionist owned a gym, through which substances were procured from Eastern Europe. Other riders were said to have procured substances via a hospital and a pharmacy more locally. It was further explained that the team manager was also a senior person in a prominent anti-doping movement, and had later on introduced strong antidoping clauses in the team contracts, including the imposition of significant fines for anyone caught doping.

It seems that corticoids are still being used and abused, often masked by requests for Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) to UCI Medical staff, with one rider telling the CIRC commission that he believed 90% of TUEs were used for performance-enhancing purposes. TUE abuse is also an issue in women's cycling, with the report saying that some riders turn up at race with "extensive folders of TUE- related documentation.

One doctor stated that it was impossible to lose the weight that some riders achieve without assistance, and that the TUE is taken advantage of to enable this practice. He stated that riders use corticoids to "lean out" i.e. to lose weight quickly, and keep it off, without losing power. By way of example he explained that to lose 4kg in 4 weeks by using corticoids would provide a 7% power/weight improvement.

He added that when used in large quantities and in conjunction with other substances, they supported performance gains. Another doctor stated that some quite recent big wins on the UCI WorldTour were as a result, in part, of some members of the team all using corticoids to get their weight down to support the individual who won (who also used the same weight-loss technique). It was reported that this had been a planned approach by that group's management.

It seems that specialist doping doctors remain key to an efficient doping programme, with their medical advice vital to trick the Biological Passport, manage blood values and advise on the last performance enhancing products (GW1516, AICAR and EPO variants) and techniques. The Commission was also told that Dr Eufemiano Fuentes is apparently still treating athletes despite being banned in 2013 from practicing sports medicine for 4 years. He is reported to be operating in South America

Li apenas os sublinhados que a Carolina postou e nada disto me supreende. Há uma grande nebulosa neste desporto que nós amamos. Se não começam a rolar cabeças nada feito!

 

[Carolina]

sim, não há nada de novo. no entanto, é de louvar que exista finalmente um documento oficial que declare tudo isto que já se sabia.

agora as equipas vão começar a ter mais dificuldade em explicar as TUE e também as alterações de peso dos ciclistas.

Concordo. Este uso de receitas médicas é malicioso. Para além do que se usam medicamentos para encobrir/mascarar outras substancias (proibidas). Considero o relatório algo de positivo para o bem do ciclismo. A UCI precisa de dar um sinal para o exterior de que não está a dormir e que as situações anomalas têm que acabar. O problema é que até uma certa fase houve uma grande promiscuidade entre a UCI/Equipas/doping para tornar a modalidade mais espectacular. Ninguém fazia nada e até ajudavam a encobrir. Entretanto rebentou o caso armstrong e pimba rolou uma cabeça que deixou no ar um sabor agridoce (concordo com a condenação o problema é que não foi equitativa). Daqui para a frente têm que educar os atletas/equipas que não vale ganhar desonestamente, o que se revela de mais dificil toda a gente olha para o lado desconfia e diz porque não poderei fazê-lo??

 

[Carolina]

parece que equipa mistério referida no relatório é a androni. um dos directores da equipa faz parte da MPCC e http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/new...li-implement-fine-for-anti-doping-infractions

pelo menos corresponde à descrição.

[Bernalve]

Lampre é outra equipa como a Astana que nunca irá acabar por causa do doping. Podem ter casos, suspeitas, etc, mas é sempre andar der por onde der.

audiência do kreuziger para dia 10 de junho. fogo, são mesmo lentos.

isto significa que deve fazer o giro, já que não é garantido que pode fazer o tour.

O rapaz não fez nada de mal Avearmat dixit

Van Avermaet said. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I think that I’m a clean rider. Nothing has happened for which I should feel guilty. It’s absurd that I always have to provide accountability.

 

[Carolina]

agora já percebo porque é que faltou à reunião com a autoridade anti-doping para ir fazer as clássicas...

ao menos podia dar alguma desculpa, do género "tava com fome e o contador deu-me um bife"
