Rogers denies knowingly using Clenbuterol
Australian proposes ℱcontaminated meat as explanation for positive test
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Rogers has denied that he knowingly used Clenbuterol and has pointed to the possible consumption of contaminated meat during the Tour of Beijing as an explanation for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:his positive test.
The UCI announced on Wednesday that Rogers had returned an adverse analytical finding for Clenbuterol following his victory at the Japan Cup on October 20. The Saxo-Tinko🌄ff rider had raced at the Tour of Beijing before travelling to Japan.
.“I can advise that during the period 8th-17th October, before arriving in Japan, I was present in China for the WorldTo𓆉ur race, Tour of Beijing. I understand that it has been acknowledged by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) as well as other anti-dopꩲing bodies, that food contaminated with Clenbuterol is a serious problem in China.”
The Australian’s case was one of two Clenbutero𝓀l positives announced by the UCI on Wednesday. Jonathan Breyne (Crelan-Euphony) returned an adverse analytical finding for the substance during another Chinese race, the Tour of Taihu Lake, on November 5.
In late November 2011 WADA issued a warning about concerns of contaminated meat and "re-emphasized the need for athletes to exe𝐆rcise extreme caution with regards to eating meat when traveling to competitions in China and Mexico."
Rogers’ Saxo-Tinkoff team leader Alberto Contador proposed contaminated meat as a defence for his positive test for Clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour de France, but the claim was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in February 2011, who enforced the principle of strict liability🎃 in the case. Contador was stripped of his title and handed a retroactive two-year ban.
