Third behind his brother Andy and Cadel Evans last year, Schleck is alleged to have produced an "adverse analytical finding" from a sample taken on Friday.
The sport's governing body, the UCi, said Schleck's sample contained banned Xipamide.

It's a diuretic and masking agent. The real question is what was Frank masking?scotto wrote:schleck BUSTED

Ok, I've read quite a few stories regarding this doping thing with Frank but other than here no mention seems to have been made of it being a masking agent!It's a diuretic and masking agent. The real question is what was Frank masking?
Just for my information, Please explain! Not really up on whats in and whats out regarding drug doping.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2962812/British Journal of Pharmacology wrote: Diuretics are drugs that increase the rate of urine flow and sodium excretion to adjust the volume and composition of body fluids. There are several major categories of this drug class and the compounds vary greatly in structure, physicochemical properties, effects on urinary composition and renal haemodynamics, and site and mechanism of action. Diuretics are often abused by athletes to excrete water for rapid weight loss and to mask the presence of other banned substances. Because of their abuse by athletes, diuretics have been included on The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) list of prohibited substances; the use of diuretics is banned both in competition and out of competition and diuretics are routinely screened for by anti-doping laboratories. This review provides an overview of the pharmacology and toxicology of diuretics and discusses their application in sports. The most common analytical strategies currently followed by the anti-doping laboratories accredited by the WADA are discussed along with the challenges laboratories face for the analysis of this diverse class of drugs.

The diuretic increases the volume of urine and so decreases the concentration of illegal substances, e.g. steriods.martinjs wrote:Ok, I've read quite a few stories regarding this doping thing with Frank but other than here no mention seems to have been made of it being a masking agent!It's a diuretic and masking agent.

This is such a big disappointment for me when I read it on Twitter early this morning. Out of all people, Frank Schleck?!? It's signalling to me that doping is far from gone in cycling. Of course, we'll have to hear what the full story is.scotto wrote:schleck BUSTED

"Sky have just shown their strength, they've come out firing. They've got eight riders here, the seven of them riding on the front have just been incredible," he said last night, ahead of today's second rest day.
"Their performance in the time trial from their two leaders was also incredible. Their riders have all come on in the best form of their lives. They ride a continuous tempo that's leading the climbers pretty empty when they get to the final. It's making it difficult to do stuff."

Not that this was anything people didn't see coming: Sky have been incredibly open -- even outrightly boasting -- about their training processes. So there are questions to be asked of BMC and Cadel as to why BMC lack the same depth as Sky. The ability to grow a team has always been Cadel's weakness, and it is hurting him again this year.

Doping is most attractive when you are underperforming. So if Frank is doping it would fit the classic "David Millar" scenario.sogood wrote:Out of all people, Frank Schleck?!? It's signalling to me that doping is far from gone in cycling.
Also, note the team management and medical advisors. Until they are gone, doping isn't gone. They will always be there to offer it to an athlete in their darkest moment.

If anything is suspicious about the Sky team it's not any of their individual performances but the fact that so many of them are so strong all the time. I don't buy this miracle new training technique on some Spanish volcano. Training at altitude is as old as the hills, a huge amount of time and money is invested in sports science world-wide and I don't think it's possible to come up with something so much better than everyone else like they claim to.

Diuretic substances are extremely easy to detect in a urine sample.........so why would an experienced cyclist like Frank Schleck, who would clearly be aware of what substances would result in a positive swab, take an easily detected banned substance in order to mask something else?biker jk wrote:It's a diuretic and masking agent.

That whole scenario does not make any sense to me at all.

Possible blood infusion? So he withdrew blood before TdF which had diuretic (perhaps for weight loss) and re-infused during the TdF.greyhoundtom wrote: Diuretic substances are extremely easy to detect in a urine sample.........so why would an experienced cyclist like Frank Schleck, who would clearly be aware of what substances would result in a positive swab, take an easily detected banned substance in order to mask something else?

For Frank it is now up to the B-Sample to confirm or counter the first result, probably best to hold off and let it take it's course but if they are able to make a report on the first sample in four days, lets hope we don't have the painful dragging on dramas because a slow process then becomes part of the problem.
