Frank Schleck positive test

[Flying_Monkey]

Frank Schleck has apparently had a positive test for Xipamide, a diuretic, whose most obvious doping use would be to reduce the concentration of some other chemical in the urine... so far, this is only the initial finding. Much to be investigated, but can't say I am very surprised given the brothers' previous adventures.

Here we go again .....

There's no way he's going to have a doctor's note for this one - it's only really used legitimately in the treatment of various kinds of oedema and hypertension. The worst of it is, even with possible illicit assistance he's still been shoot.

What ever it's masking or flushing, it isn't much cop is it? If I were Frank, I think I'd be asking for my money back.

jesus - doping and STILL riding like an old dog. Just imagine how much worse he would have been without the drugs....

If this does turn out to be confirmed, 1. it would surely be the nail in the coffin for Radioshack-Nissan, and 2. given the very close family relationships, it would also be hard not to suspect that Andy knew.

 

[Noodley]

Just confirms what we all suspected tho.

 

[Crackle]

It does doesn't it and neither were really bright enough to keep it hidden long.

I think the team was going down anyway, but this could just be a Schleck family thing. There have been suspicions in the past.

There'll be some long faces in the Schleck household tonight.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

There was obviously some inside info on the family back as far as 2008, when the links to Dr Fuentes were revealed, but they were obviously one step ahead of the police.

i dont think its a shame when someone fails a doping test , i think its sad that they did it in the first place
