USADA is not supposed to be handing out approvals for someone who just needs to drink some fluids. Imagine, all this time, Lance was doing it all wrong. There was no need to smuggle and hide using IVs.
"I don't know how closely you've followed our investigation into cycling, but you saw it used a lot in cycling.
Because, putting a bag of saline over 50 ml, for example is the rule, would potentially mask the testing that was done." - Travis Tygart, CEO of USADA"
Its just too funny!
USADA/WADA
WADA has justified the inclusion of IV infusions on the Prohibited List given the intent of some athletes to manipulate their plasma volume levels in order to mask the use of a prohibited substance and/or to distort the values in the Athlete Biological PassporT.
Further, it must be clearly stated that the use of IV fluid replacement following exercise to correct mild rehydration or help speed recovery is not clinically indicated nor substantiated by the medical literature.
There is a well-established body of scientific opinion to confirm that oral rehydration is the preferred the****utic choice.
Legitimate medical indications for IV infusions are well documented and are most commonly associated with medical emergencies (emergency TUE), in-patient care, surgery, or clinical investigations for diagnostic purposes."
Very interesting.. But I think there are enough threads about this. Freddy & Manny have moved on!
Yea most of them left after the fight lol. There is only a couple of pacfans left. Pacboy barely even posts here anymore. The rest are mostly delusional butthurt fanboys that cant get over a simple loss.
Agreed! He is all they have. More suicides after PAC retires!!
