I'd guess it's for recovery and injury management. Suppressing things like Bernal's back problems, aiding the physiotherapy for muscle damage mid-tour.

This is Bahrain, as the study was requested by the police after a raid and they were the only team that got raided.

Bernal was just the first person with a prominent recurring injury who came to mind.

Im all for it. gently caress these scumbags, giving medicine for non therapeutic reasons to unknowing athletes with no regard for consequences, jail them all and keep investigating them every way possible

They were able to prove that tramadol improved power output as well as the recovery benefits. I wonder if this is the same.

Looking it up, it might also be useful for temporarily decreasing bowel motility. They could have been using it to counter the squits.

It must be pretty hard being a pro-rider, what if you actually need to take muscle relaxants or something after a race becuase you are hosed? I have to take Naproxen every other bike ride because my back gets sore if I over-do things, being a pro would be hard enough without the scrutiny on legit treatments for pain or anything else. I get that there are reasons people take some stuff to mask other stuff, just trying to feel how lovely it would be being micromanaged like that.

Can't really think of a reason why anyone would use tizanidine seeking performance benefits. It's a muscle relaxant...it causes bradycardia without any benefit...it can make your heart stop. Those tiny pills hit like a truck. I once took two and don't remember the couple hours before it knocked me out.

I keep forgetting that the UCI also regulates *squinting* indoor cycling, which is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf6AFBZWAY8 and something called cycle ball. You probably saw a new post and thought someone got popped or died. Nope. Just the depths of UCI content

All the results lists I just checked are various permutations of GER - AUT - SUI in the top three, so it depends on your definition of non-German. There was one Spanish bronze in the, uh, "single men" category

Have there been high profile attempts where the rider DNFed knowing they didn’t have it? Would be better viewing having them less short of breath and bring interviewed explaining why they didn’t have it.

kimbo305 posted:Have there been high profile attempts where the rider DNFed knowing they didn’t have it? Would be better viewing having them less short of breath and bring interviewed explaining why they didn’t have it. Yeah, definitely one of those events that’s not ideal for TV, it’d be perfect to cut back to for an update during some other sports coverage though. I wonder how easily the bigger TT specialist guys on the tour could beat the record. Wout, Ganna, Roglic, and some of the lead out guys I’m forgetting. When weight is almost totally irrelevant, doesn’t make sense for an average size guy like Dowsett to have a hope. Dan Bigham did much in his hour record attempt a few weeks ago, along with his partner Joss actually taking the womens record. As he’s not currently a pro rider in the UCI testing pool it wouldn’t have counted officially anyway. Sure to repeat it once that’s sorted I think. Great interview about it on the Peak Torque YouTube channel. Edit: corrected facts. wooger fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Nov 4, 2021 |

I'm pretty sure he would have got it last year if he hadn't had covid. That was a confident run - sharing training power numbers, talking about how easy the target felt, not spending huge amounts of money on tiny gains, doing it in the UK. Post-covid he's just not been putting out the numbers. Not on the bike, but I've done hour tests on the rowing machine and they are grim so fair play to the lad for seeing it through.

Tbf I think thats Higuita and Dani Martinez so I would hope Rigo is doing the nice thing and just riding with people. But yeah lol imagine getting to the bottom of that climb, you've just about managed to hold on over some rollers and they just go off like the Saturn V.

Tbh if I’m riding a climb with a pro I think it’d actually be quite cool to see just how much faster they are than me if they’re going all out.
