Lasix-free Breeders’ Cup races could prompt wider action
Posted Byi steroids
The decision by the Breeders’ Cup to ban the use of Lasix for its year-end races is likely to embolden other organizations that are against the raceday use of the drug, according to officials.
The ban will be applied to the five races for 2-year-olds in the 2012 championships and all 15 races for the 2013 event.
“Breeders’ Cup can obviously decide what rules they want to adopt for their event,†Bellocq said. “The fact remains that the [June conference] clearly showed that this is not a black-and-white issue. We’re still focused on working with all these groups on a policy that’s best for U.S. racing,†Remi Bellocq, the executive director of the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association.

Role of Vitamin D In Muscle Regeneration
Posted Byi steroids
According to a recent study by the Dutch company OrgaNext Research, activated vitamin D stimulates expression of the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle cells.
The Dutch scientist Lenus Kloosterboer, PhD, presented these breakthrough findings in Boston, USA, during the Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society (June 4-8, 2011).
The active metabolite of the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate, Nandrolone, stimulates expression of the vitamin D receptor in skeletal muscle cells, as per the researchers.
The combination of nandrolone and hydroxylated vitamin D (NDD) has a synergistic effect on the in-vitro proliferation of human skeletal muscle cells, as per the research.

Tough sentences by China for tainted pork
Posted Byi steroids
A Chinese court on Monday handed out long sentences, including a suspended death penalty, who were involved in the production and sale of pork tainted with a poisonous chemical, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The pigs were fed clenbuterol for producing lean meat that sells for a premium in China, which is the world’s largest producer and consumer of pork.
“The accused, however, defended themselves by pointing out the loopholes in pork processing companies and government supervision. They also argued there was no relevant case in which consumers got ill as a result of taking in clenbuterol-tainted meat,” the report said.

Posted Byi steroids
Manju Wanniarachchi has claimed he was prevented by the authorities from challenging the decision.
Sri Lanka’s boxing star whose gold medal from the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games was stripped off on a doping conviction alleged that the Sri Lanka government told him that an appeal would hinder the country’s bid to host the Games.
“Neither the government, nor the ministry exerted pressure on him. The medical report clearly shows that that substance was in his body. I have both the police and medical reports,” said Sports minister, Mahindananda Aluthgamage.
