But the texture changes a lot. There is a lot of cell membrane rupture that happens during freezing (ice is much less dense than liquid water ... ice bergs float!) If the cell membranes are not tough enough to handle the extra volume they will rupture and the texture of the flesh will be very different.

A good read (put your lawyer hats on): https://www.usada.org/uploads/aaadeci...hardmeeker.pdf
Interesting part starts on page #9 . It explains why we haven't heard which supplement triggered the result.

Spoiler alert, for whatever that matters.
This is how I read it - basically he tried to get off by putting some powder in a bottle of pills and claimed that the powder came from a broken supplement pill (but no pill casings or pieces of them were in the bottle). There was over 4 grams of powder and a normal pill contains about 1 gram of powder. There should have been pieces of a few capsules but there weren't, at least not in the bottle. The powder was a different color from the main pills he had, except 5 pills that tested positive for some stuff (but that weren't detected in his system).
It looks and sounds pretty bad, at least from my point of view.

that's how i viewed it as well, though i thought that steroids are usually injected? I guess they are in powder formulation as well? I really should know as i'm a chemist...

That was actually clearly written. What's up with FIFA doing that?

Honestly, getting popped at an event is almost funny. It's an intelligence test. If you've read any of the books (like Tyler's), you know all the 'work' is done beforehand. Getting busted with a cheap oral is just carelessness and probably a subconscious call for help.

Thanks. I had not spent any time playing with it because the only time I would use it was when sitting in traffic and wanting to know if there was a wreck or something ahead - I try to avoid using my phone too much when driving.

He said that it was the first time he was ever tested in about 35 years of competition. It might be that he thought he wouldn't ever be tested, so he didn't worry about timing.

Seems like a lot of investment for little return, even if he would have won.

I think it depends if you have a life outside of cycling or not.

You can have injectable (nandrolone for example), powder (anavar) and liquid (clenbuterol). These would be some of the more popular steroids (not including growth hormone).
Injectable imho are the safest and purest though they use an oil base in most cases for ease of injection.
Pills and powders (capsules) are probably the most common as people don't like to stick themselves. The are also harder on liver and stomach.
My take on all this is that he's a doper, got careless, got caught. Own up, move on and don't throw blame around

Maybe he suspected that USAC would grow a set and strip him of his 8 jerseys. That's what needs to happen, for him, and anyone with stripes who gets popped.

(before I even knew what a bike was) I stuck to prohormone cycles though so not quite the same. 1-AD,4-AD combos
