  Two-year ban for Spanish cyclist

Posted By

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has banned Alberto Contador and stripped him of his victory in the 2010 Tour de France.

Contador tested positive for the stimulant clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour and Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, who finished runner-up by only 39 seconds, will now be the winner of 2010 Tour de France title.

From Guardian.co.uk:

Contador’s suspension was considered to have begun on 25 January 2011, although he had been provisionally banned for the six months before that. He will therefore return on 6 August this year – meaning he would be free to compete in his home Vuelta a España in late August and early September.

Among the races he will miss is the Olympic time trial, which is good news for Britain’s Bradley Wiggins. In total, Contador will lose 12 victories in the races he has ridden since the process started, including last year’s overall win in the Giro d’Italia, plus two stages and the points classification.

Contador’s positive test is dated back to 21 July 2010, when he was tested during the Tour’s rest day in Pau, four days before the Paris finish.

  Testosterone Enanthate

Posted By

If you are looking for the best anabolic steroid preparation on the internet, testosterone enanthate is an excellent product for you. This is not just because this testosterone mixture is highly effective, but also because its use does not lead to adverse reactions and it can be easily bought on the internet with secured payment options.

This testosterone compound is recommended to men and women suffering with low levels of testosterone. In other words, testosterone enanthate is used to cure individuals whose bodies do not make any or enough testosterone. Since testosterone is the primary bodily hormone in men and required for creating and managing sexual features, its lack cannot be ignored for long and this is exactly where this anabolic steroid preparation comes into the picture. By promoting the natural production of testosterone to a significant level, the testosterone compound gives a new meaning to muscles, muscular tissue description, strength, endurance, and efficiency. Not only this, testosterone enanthate is similarly useful to promote highest possible fat loss and revitalizing early restoration from injuries and extreme workout routines.

In addition to all these benefits, the steroid also shows efficacy in promoting the levels of red blood cell generation, muscular tissue function, and muscular tissue size. Moreover, use of this anabolic steroid for as short as four to six weeks is associated with improved fresh oxygen carrying potential within the body that encourages nitrogen storage and protein functionality.

The recommended dose of this steroid is 250-500 mg a week, when taken via intramuscular shots. Testosterone enanthate is typically stacked with legal steroids and efficiency enhancing drugs such as Anavar, Clenbuterol, Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, Equipoise, and Primobolan.

  British sprinter loses appeal against ban

Posted By

After a positive drugs test in June 2011, Wyberton’s Team GB sprinter Bernice Wilson has failed in her appeal against a four-year suspension.

The 27-year-old broke into the British team last year and competed at the European Indoor Championships and tested positive for two anabolic steroids.

From Spaldingtoday.co.uk:

Wilson had blamed a contaminated sample for her positive test for banned steroids testosterone and clenbuterol.

UK Anti-Doping chief Andy Parkinson said: “This sends a strong message to anyone looking to dope in the UK.”

Wilson won the Commonwealth Games 100m trials in 2010 only to miss out on a place in the England squad due to not meeting the qualifying time

She issued a statement in July calling for UK Anti-Doping, who administer drug testing in the UK, to withdraw the case and open an internal investigation to determine the cause of the contamination.

However, an independent National Anti-Doping Panel upheld the European Indoor 60m semi-finalist’s four-year ban.

Parkinson added: “We have successfully argued for a four-year ban which demonstrates that UK Anti-Doping always seeks robust sanctions against athletes who look to cheat the system and betray those around them.”

  Wilson loses appeal against doping ban

Posted By

Bernice Wilson, the British sprinter, has lost an appeal against the sanction imposed following her positive test for two steroids.

The lost appeal means that the four-year ban on her has been confirmed after the 27-year-old from Lincolnshire tested positive for excess levels of testosterone and for clenbuterol on 12 June.

From Guardian.co.uk:

An independent National Anti-Doping Panel handed out a four-year ban against which Wilson appealed, and UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) confirmed on Friday that she had lost her appeal.

UKAD’s chief executive, Andy Parkinson, said: “We have successfully argued for a four-year ban, which demonstrates that UK Anti-Doping always seeks robust sanctions against athletes who look to cheat the system and betray those around them.

“This sends a strong message to anyone looking to dope in the UK and gives clean athletes the confidence that we are working hard on their behalf, within the framework of the World Anti-Doping Code, to protect their right to compete in doping-free sport.”

The National Anti-Doping Panel said Wilson was an “experienced and senior athlete” who saw herself as a role model to younger athletes. “Far from admitting her guilt … she sought to blame other people,” the panel said in its ruling.

  Anavar

Posted By

If you are looking for a steroid that’ll help you cut your extra fat within shortest time possible, Anavar (Oxandrolone) is what you should opt for. Anavar is a mild steroid with very less androgenic element in it which makes it an ideal choice for burning body fat without losing muscle mass or its strength. This steroid is mildly anabolic and is one of the safest options to go for, if one intends to enhance his performance. Chemically Anavar is 17b-hydroxy-17a-methyl-2-oxa-5a-androstane-3-one with molecular weight of 306.4442 g/ml at the base.

One of the prime factors that make this steroid so highly desired is that it is very mild on the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis) of the body. This is why it is so popular among professionals like body builders and power lifters. It offers immediate strength to the muscles without affecting the natural testosterone levels in the body. This process takes place when the synthesis of phosphocreatine is stimulated in the muscle cells. The greatest advantage of this is that there are no depositions of fluid in the joints after the synthesis takes place. This greatly helps bodybuilders and sportsmen gain muscle strength within very limited period of time without an increase in the body weight.

Anavar also shows best results when it is stacked with other steroids like Deca Durabolin, Dianabol and Testosterone compounds. In other words, it improves the muscle-developing ability of other steroids when combined with them.  For better results, one can stack Anavar with Equipoise, Winstrol, Clenbuterol, T3 Cytomel, and Trenbolone. Many sportsmen also combine it with the human growth hormone. Nolvadex, Femera and Arimidex are most suited options for post cycle therapy purposes. Anavar use happens to be one of the safest practices employed for such purposes.

Hence intake of Anavar is also medically advised to people suffering from disorders like involuntary weight loss such as Grave’s disease and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).  It is also used for the treatment of other ailments such as alcoholic hepatitis, Turner syndrome and anemia and has been certified by the U.S.F.D.A.  Medical researches have found its use for increasing muscle mass and body composition in people with severe surface-area burns. In many patients, it is used to prevent muscle wasting as well.

Another reason why this popular drug is used by body builders so much is that it suppresses appetite without harming the body metabolism. The fact that it does not aromatize to form estrogen, makes it most preferred during pre-competition phases.

Since this mild drug is already a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it does not get converted to DHT in the body when consumed. This is why Anavar has a shorter half-life when compared to other anabolic steroids. Hence the risk of side effects such as gynecomastia and liver damage, in this case is minimal. It is only when this steroid is administered in very high quantities for a long period of time that it may show traces of side effects. Anavar however has always been termed as a user friendly steroid which makes it the most recommended drug among bodybuilders.  Those consuming the steroid are likely to see its results six weeks after its administration.

Apart from maintaining the natural testosterone levels in the body, Anavar use does not inhibit the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone), FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), IGF1 (Insulin like Growth Factor 1), and GH (Growth Hormone) in the body, unlike the case in other anabolic steroids. One of the biggest benefits associated with use of Anavar is that its results are not age dependent. This is so because it is a best option for field professionals who need to stay clean when tested for drugs and still require to keep their weight as well as fat at bay.

One of the most desired aspects of Anavar use is that it does not lead to any weight gains or bulking of the body mass. Instead it cuts the extra fat and also renders strength to the muscles. This is the reason why use of Anavar is so famously opted by both men as well as women and women prefer using Anavar more often than males as it helps them add lean tissue to their body in a short span. Being very slightly androgenic in nature, the risk of virilization is negligible. Thus we often find Anavar being quoted as a Girl Steroid’.

No matter how friendly this drug is, it should not be abused knowingly or unknowingly. Over- use over a period of time might reveal certain changes such as dark urine, acne, muscle cramps, vomiting, nausea and mood swings. These happen only if the drug is used excessively or in disproportionately huge amounts.

Dosage of Anavar among women should not increase 10mg – 20mg a day.  Men are recommended to start with 50mg a day. However depending on the individual some might also begin the cycle with 80mg or even 100 mg per day. It is strictly advisable that Anavar should not be consumed for more than 6-8 weeks as the body might get immune to its action mechanism. One can always resume its use after a break. The active life of Anavar is for 8 to 12 hours and can be detected for almost 3 weeks.

Anavar being a popular drug can easily be bought from the market. It is widely purchased online by sportsmen and bodybuilders. It is available in varied forms such as injectables, capsules and tablets.

  T3 Cytomel

Posted By

Cytomel is the market name for Liothyronine sodium and is the L-isomer of triiodothyronine (T3). It is one of the most potent forms of thyroid hormone and is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. It stands under the systematic (IUPAC) name of sodium (2S)-2-amino-3-[4-(4-hydroxy-3-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodophenyl] propanoate.

Cytomel is a favoured drug because it acts fast and has a shorter biological half-life due to less plasma protein binding with thyroxine-binding globulin and transthyretin. In the body it is known to enhance the basal metabolic rate, initiate protein synthesis and increase body’s receptivity to catecholamines, particularly adrenaline by permissiveness.

There are two categories of thyroid hormone preparations. First is the Natural hormone preparation which is derived from an animal steroid and second is the synthetic preparation. Natural steroid includes desiccated thyroid derived from domesticated animals and thyroglobulin, derived from thyroid glands of the hog. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has standardized the total iodine content of natural preparations. In the body, this natural T3 initiates the process of oxidative metabolism of the energy producing food substrates or those stored in the fat, muscles and glycogen. This takes place in the mitochondria of our cells, which are popularly called the ‘powerhouses’ because it is here that energy for the consumption of the body is produced.

Consumption of Cytomel increases the absorption of nutrients into the mitochondria. It also leads to an increase in the rate at which these food particles are burned to produce energy. This takes place by catalyzing the activities of enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolic pathway of the oxidation process. Hence an increase in the metabolic rate means higher requirement of fuel in the body. And if the body happens to be in a hypocaloric state, it will start burning the fat in the body at even a higher rate. This primarily takes place because of increase in the ATP produced in the mitochondria. In other words, an increased in the level of ATP causes an increase in overall metabolic activity of the body which is why Cytomel is taken.

Here an important thing to be kept in mind is that since mitochondrion needs fuel to facilitate its production of energy, it uses anything that comes its way to do so. It means that it there aren’t any food substrates available for the body to produce energy, the body uses the fat, proteins and even glucose to draw its fuel from. It might also start to feed on the muscles in the body to create this energy. Considering this function of the mitochondria, it is imperative that Cytomel be taken along with other anabolic steroids. This is because if the user is on a diet while taking Cytomel and does not combine it with other anabolic steroids along with it, he might lose out a great amount of muscle.

Hence Cytomel plays an important role in optimizing the metabolic rate of the user’s body. This is exactly what bodybuilders tend to achieve during their training period. Because of its ability to synthesize protein at a fast rate, Cytomel use is considered to be one of the best options to be included during pre-contest dietary. This is because it helps in the elimination of what is called the ‘sticky fat’ or the fat which somehow doesn’t want to leave your body in the last weeks of your dieting.  Many experts think that instead of taking in the last phase to cut fat, it can be always be taken initially as well when one wants to burn maximum fat by increasing body’s metabolism.

For best results in minimum time, it is highly recommended that Cytomel be used with Insulin, Anabolic Steroids and the Growth Hormone. Cytomel proves to be very useful when taken with Clenbuterol as it stops the down regulation of beta 2 receptors caused by Clen.

It is best advised to use Cytomel for optimizing your body’s metabolic rate for 9 to 10 months a year. The remaining 2 to 3 months can be used as a recovery period.

Some common side effects associated with Cytomel (incase of heavy dosage for a prolonged period) are excessive sweating, stomach cramps, irritability, insomnia, vomiting, weight loss, headache, increased appetite, fever, and diarrhea.

  Clenbuterol

Posted By

Clenbuterol or Clen is commonly used as a bronchodilator by people suffering from respiratory disorders. It is a sympathomimetic amine broadly marketed as Spiropent and Ventipulmin and most commonly accessible as hydrochloride salt. It is known under the systematic (IUPAC) name, (RS)-1-(4-amino-3, 5- dichlorophenyl)-2-(tert-butylamino) ethanol. Clen is a β2 agonist and is pharmacologically quite similar to epinephrine and salbutamol. However, its effects are stronger and fast acting as a stimulant.

The high demand of Clenbuterol is mainly because of its fast fat-burning properties. It increases the metabolic activity by stimulating the beta-2 receptors which in turn increases the internal temperature of the body. This increased cellular heat leads of burning of fat in the body and hence proves to be highly beneficial for people intending to avoid extra fat, particularly body- builders. However, Clen is known to have very less beta-1 stimulating properties. Since these receptors are related to the cardiac effects, Clenbuterol causes reduction of the reversible airway barrier which results in very less or no cardiovascular side effects whatsoever as compared to nonselective beta agonists.

Being an anabolic steroid, Clen is also considered to increase muscle mass in the body. This is the reason why this drug is so widely used among the athletes. Clenbuterol is also known to have thermogenic property which enhances its ability to fuel the fat cells, causing rapid breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids.

Users of Clen have found its benefits to be extremely effective and long lasting. This is because Clen has an extremely long life of 34 hours. Hence bodybuilders and athletes using this steroid only need to administer a single dose a day as its presence in the blood levels is easily facilitated and remains steady as well.

High doses of Clenbuterol are associated with certain side effects such as lack of sleep, excessive sweating, nausea, shaking of the hands and high blood pressure. Medical observations have revealed that these symptoms considerably reduce after their intake is stopped. One should not immediately start taking large amounts of Clenbuterol initially. They should start with 2 tablets a day which can be increased to 8 per day. Women wanting to use the steroid for similar results should not exceed use of 4 tablets a day.

One should also bear in mind that a rise in body temperature due to Clen administration is a normal process. This is because the body is burning energy from the fat at a very fast rate. However, it does not make the user uncomfortable. If it does, one should immediately see a physician. The effect of Clen differs from person to person but its most likely effects remain from 4 to 6 weeks. Once its effect diminishes, the body temperature of the user will return to normal. To achieve better results, it is advised to stop using the steroid for a few weeks and then start its usage again.

Clenbuterol is known to give higher results when consumed with thyroid hormones such as Cytomel. Many athletes have reported highly productive results upon taking the two drugs together. For this combined intake, one need not change his diet either.  It is observed that this combination is very widely used as a growth hormone therapy which largely enhances the anabolic as well as thermogenic properties of Clenbuterol.

Clen can be taken in various forms such as tablets, syrups and injections. They are also employed to treat illnesses like arrhythmias, migraines, anaphylactic shock and hypertension. This drug can easily be acquired on the internet. There are many sites which sell this anabolic drug from where it can be ordered, with or without a prescription.

  Contador awaits WADA decision

Posted By

Alberto Contador, three times Tour de France winner, is not sure if his 2012 season plans will be fulfilled or not.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will decide fate of the cyclist in January 2012.

Contador said, “The main goal is to win the Tour de France. I know it’s very hard. Everybody wants to win, but I will work hard for it. I do not know if I can win or not, but I’ll try. I want to be as well organized as I can possibly be next year and arrive rested and relaxed for the Tour. [This year] I had a good preparation, but next year I want to make it perfect”.

From Blogs.bettor.com:

He mentioned, “I’m very confident because of all of the controls and the scientific facts supporting my case, I believe there will be a favourable resolution”.

Spanish Cycling Federation cleared the cyclist in February as it accepted that clenbuterol was the result of contaminated beef.

Contador was tested positive for a very small amount of drug which is believed to enhance the aerobic capacity of athletes. There are a number of things which can turn the decision in his favour.

The lab that detected clenbuterol in the sample was equipped with ultra-sensitive machines that can detect even the smallest amount of drug which would otherwise pass the systems, leaving no trace.

The 28-year-old is positive that the court will announce the decision in his favour but wants to get over with the lingering court matters soon.

The cyclist tested positive for Clenbuterol in 2010 but the decision on his case has not been announced as yet.
