    From Yahoo Sports News, IRT Basso suspension:

    "I have the impression that every now and then we lose sight of the
    issue at hand," said the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) antidoping
    prosecutor Ettore Torri. "We don't have a problem with the cyclists,
    the problem is with the people that induce them to make use of doping
    products and tell them where to find them."

    So why aren't we granting amnesty for confessions, if there's "no
    problem" with the riders, and they're really after the suppliers/
    enablers? --D-y

    Has it left you seething in righteous indignation? Is it because you
    think Davey would like it?

    Just my rather convenient way of cooling off for the summer, and
    avoiding some increasingly unconvincing semi-combovers. My hairline
    would sorta play peek-a-boo with the remaining lock of hair growing from
    the top of my forehead.

    Very sad,

    My hairline acts as a visible certificate for my naturally high T levels.

    Perhaps its time to come out of denial and try and make some money
    instead. I'm sure a LIVEDRUNK(tm) franchise selling steroid laced
    cocktails at gyms and health clubs would make a fortune, especially where
    the clientele comprises body builders.

    I'd bet that there's more money in selling "organic" smoothie type
    drinks mixed with amphetamines and other effective weight loss stuff
    to the women, especially after tey all drop 10 or 15 pounds after a
    month of pounding them, and then they're hooked.
    Same theory slightly different product and target. Maybe go with the
    ultimate gym "juice" bar.

    Well, if you want organic, how about a milk bar like the one in A
    Clockwork Orange? Can't get more holesome than that. 🙂

    clenbuterol

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=409347&in_page_id=1879&in_a_source=&ito=1490

    mixes well with booze :

    "He gave her loads of pills: a mixture of prescription and
    supplements. My brother had a party and you would not believe the
    state she got herself in - she soiled herself and was vomiting because
    of all those pills. The doctor never told her not to drink."

    clenbuterol

    supplements. My brother had a party and you would not believe the
    state she got herself in - she soiled herself and was vomiting because
    of all those pills. The doctor never told her not to drink."

    "Most of the data available is veterinary, and it
    reveals a lot of bad reactions in rats. After taking
    the drug, their hearts started to stiffen. So it seems
    safe to predict that clenbuterol in high doses when
    taken by humans increases the risk of strokes and heart
    arrhythmia."

    Invalid inference of stroke risk.

    "Having messed with an user's natural metabolism, the
    drugs seem to lose their efficacy almost as quickly as
    they helped shift excess pounds. Jackie Warner has seen
    the body backlash first-hand. "A friend on clen lost
    weight, but after a while the drug stopped working,"
    she says. "She was just eating tuna and told me: "If I
    eat anything, I just blow up.'""

    The body responds to famine by fattening up when food
    is once again available.

    That's one of the things they took into account at least as early as
    the eighties when the really "ripped" look started to be mandatory in
    BB. Skipping the issue of drugs for a second, all the diets and pre-
    contest training plans where based on cutting and cycling calories so
    you had some, relatively, high calorie days to try and prevent the
    body from going into conservation mode. The other keys were to add in
    much more cardio twice a day, reduce the weights and time between
    sets, and increase the reps to almost turn it into circuit training.
    It worked as a package, but drugs made it massively easier too for
    those who used them, they thought we were idiots for not going the
    most effective route.

    The study didn't do a followup to see if any of the damage was
    permanent. Think about this for a minute - exercise causes increased
    heart size and reduced heart rhythm. If you are a steady and fit
    cyclist and you are admitted to the emergency room for ANY reason you
    have to make sure they understand that you are an athlete and DO NOT
    PRETEND THAT SOMEONE THAT RIDES more than 40 miles a week isn't an
    athlete. The symptoms that they are looking for are increased heart
    size and reduced heart rhythm in patients over 40 which indicates -
    heart failure.

    The point here being that saying that exercise damages organs etc.
    means very little unless it is serious and permanent.

    That's the problem - I was handed a bill for $40,000 because they put
    me in the ICU when I showed up with breathing problems caused by
    poison gas. They poo-pooed the gas problem I was telling them about
    and put me on all sorts of machines because of the low heart rate.
    Luckily the admitting physician had written down that I had told them
    several times that my heart was good and that it was my breathing that
    was a problem. My lawyer managed to get them to cancel the charges.
    But he cost damned near what the hospital bill was.

    In case you missed it - it is the non-perment and non-serious damage
    that causes your heart to increase in size and volumn from exercise.
    Everything has to be seen in perspective - even the idea that runners
    actually damage themselves from running long or exceedingly hard
    distances.

    I've had a few medicos remark on what they heard through the
    stethoscope. At least, back when I was a younger dog, out there
    gathering mileage.

    Runners do damage themselves, eventually. All of them. At least the
    knees. That's why we bike, right? --D-y
