Question, can a diuretic be used to pee traces of other banned substances out of the system? Edit: - Wiki just answered that for me. It is used for that in sport.
It does seem questionable that cyclist caught doping seem to be handled/managed by the same people, Johan Bruyneel - for exampleFood Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Some would say that riders managed by Bruyneel don't get caught doping......it's only when they fall out with him that they get caught.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

I'd imagine that'd send him into a Pantani style spiral out of control. Way harsh Rich, way harsh.0 -

Do they know something we don't?
Also, is this actually risky - i.e. when's the deadline for signing up a replacement *if* (big if, I know) the LADA slap a ban on him?0 -

Verdict is likely to be - "Poor old Frank, he probably ate something he shouldn't have so we'll let him off". or more likely "we need another meeting in six months to discuss it further before we make a decision"."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Either way it's win / win for the people delivering the "verdict".
The possibility that he did eat something he shouldn't have does exist and "..need another meeting in six..." protects their cushy jobs. I think you've nailed this one.0 -
