Here we go again!

Damn. :(

Team confirms he's out of the Tour. Bonkers.

Destroy it all.

If I were him I'd ask for my money back. Aren't performance enhancing drugs supposed to enhance performance? ...Way to go Frank!

himespau 07-17-12 02:02 PM

Well, he did say he didn't want to be the team leader without his brother, right? Maybe this is just his way of ensuring that.

How does a diuretic enhance performance? How does that work?

Masking agent.
Makes you urinate a lot to flush out the traces of the good stuff.

mje 07-17-12 02:09 PM

Diuretics are used as masking agents.

I can't wait for the stories that will come out with this one. Any one care to take a guess?

No backdated prescription. Team has already come out & stated that the team doctor does not use this.

Does this mean that Frank loses the MapMyRide.com Aquaphor le Tour Challenge?

Livestrong water bottles? Wait, that's a separate investigation.

bigfred 07-17-12 02:42 PM

Another one bites the dust. The pro tours are as clean as they ever were. Let's all collectively get over it.

tagaproject6 07-17-12 02:47 PM

Hypertension...yeah, that's it!

Crash716 07-17-12 02:48 PM
