Austrian triathlete admits to doping

Published: March 27, 2009

VIENNA: Austrian triathlete Lisa Huetthaler, who was suspended last fall for using an endurance boosting hormone, has admitted to doping in a newspaper interview published Friday.

In October, Huetthaler was banned for two years by Austria's national anti-doping agency for testing positive for EPO. She was also under investigation for allegedly attempting to bribe a laboratory employee last spring to guarantee that her "B" sample didn't return with the same result as her initial positive test.

Huetthaler, 25, told the daily Kurier that her main supplier was Stefan Matschiner, the former manager of disgraced Austrian cyclist Bernhard Kohl who admitted to using the blood booster CERA at last year's Tour de France.

Huetthaler said she met Matschiner in May 2007 through Andreas Zoubek, a former doctor at a Vienna children's hospital whose name has previously surfaced in other local doping-related news reports.

Matschiner denied the allegations, telling Austrian broadcaster ORF that the only correct element in Huetthaler's story was that he met her through Zoubek. The law firm representing Zoubek could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.

Huetthaler said she paid Matschiner roughly €15,000 ($20,206) for numerous doses of EPO. She also said Matschiner introduced her to testosterone and that she got growth hormones through Zoubek. She also said Zoubek once gave her an EPO injection. She said her ex-boyfriend and trainer, who was not named in the interview, got her into the doping scene.

"I was 18, he was almost 40 ... I was naive," Huetthaler said.

Huetthaler said her main motive for coming clean was so she could feel good about herself again.

"I want to be able to walk down the street again with my head held high," she told Kurier.

Austria increased its efforts to eradicate doping after the 2006 Turin Olympics scandal, when Italian police raided the Austrian cross-country and biathlon team lodgings, seizing a large amount of doping products and equipment.

Earlier this week, former Austrian Nordic skiing coach Walter Mayer was arrested on suspicion of selling doping substances three years after triggering the Olympics scandal.

A message from Lance Armstrong

Exclusive Post-Op Interview with Lance -- powered by http://www.livestrong.com

Lance's update...

LANCE ARMSTRONG, Post-SURGERY update

March 25, 2009 - Austin, TX - Lance Armstrong had successful surgery today to repair what doctors originally thought was a “simple” fracture of his clavicle (more commonly referred to as the collarbone). “This was not correct,” said Dr. Doug Elenz, an Austin orthopedic surgeon who frequently operates on athletes. “It was not in two, but four pieces.” Dr. Elenz, along with another surgeon and physician’s assistant, used a five inch stainless steel plate with 12 screws to repair Armstrong’s fracture. He noted that this was more than they would normally use, but necessary based on the extent of the fracture.

“If you had to pin me down, I’d say it was an eight,” he said when asked how difficult the surgery was on a scale of 1-10. The surgery, which normally takes less than 90 minutes for a simple fracture, took slightly less than three hours and also included working on some of Armstrong’s abrasions from the crash. “No one’s ever accused me of being the fastest surgeon in the world,” Dr. Elenz quipped, “I think we should be expedient, methodical and get it right the first time.”

As expected, many of the questions revolved around when Armstrong would be able to be back on the bike training, if not racing. “Normally we see 8-12 weeks for something like this to heal completely,” Dr. Elenz said, stressing the word “completely”. He went on to say that it would be a day-by-day, week-by-week, and month-by-month progression as they first looked for radiographic union (evidence of bone growth), a stable fracture with no plate movement, increased arm motion and fluidity, and Armstrong’s own pain factor. When asked what pain medication he would be on, the doctor would only say that he prescribed the same as he would for any patient and/or athlete following this procedure.

Dr. Elenz said that in his practice he takes care of a lot of athletes, and that they did everything possible to have the best healing, but nothing extraordinary “…to push the envelope.” Armstrong would not spend the night in the hospital but soon be taken to his home here in Austin to recuperate. In terms of rehabilitation, the doctor wants Armstrong to take it easy for a week to let the wound heal, then start back into aerobic training using some form of stationary exercise bike so as not use his upper extremities, and then they’d see about getting back on the road. Dr. Elenz also noted that up to 50% of patients eventually need to have the plate and screws removed, “…so don’t be surprised if one day we have to do this.”

While Dr. Elenz would not give a firm date on when he expected Armstrong to return to racing, he said that it will heal and he needs to give it time so he can get back to racing.

Triatlo do Ribatejo 09

Mais uma vitória para Bruno Pais, desta vez na edição II do Triatlo do Ribatejo em que deixou para trás João "Puras" Pereira e "Johnny" Silva.
Uma prova bem disputada com os homens da frente a andarem muito rápido como já nos habituaram este ano.

Na secção feminina, tivemos a Vanessa "a meio gás" Fernandes que mesmo assim bateu toda a concorrência. Deixou para trás as mais directas adversárias como a Anais Moniz, a russa Olga Dimitrieva e a Maria "Papoila" Areosa.

Bem disputada também foi a prova de todos os outros incluindo a minha em que ía desmaiando a tentar tirar o fato na T1. Foi uma sensação algo estranho dado que nunca me tinha acontecido tal coisa. Acho que se não tivesse ali a bicla para me apoiar tinha mesmo caído e assim fiquei quase 2 minutos no parque de transição.

o ciclismo correu mais ou menos normal a não ser pelo vento forte que se fez sentir em quase todo percurso. A corrida não foi má mas claro que esperava ter corrido um nadinha mais rápido.
No geral foi bom, só espero conseguir treinar estas 2 semanas para fazer o Triatlo de Quarteira no dia 4 de Abril a um ritmo superior ao de hoje.

Muito público no percurso de corrida e com o tempo também a judar por isso acho que no geral foi positivo.

A bad hair day for Lance Armstrong

The Associated Press

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

PARIS: Lance Armstrong literally had a bad hair day.

A French anti-doping inspector armed with a pair of scissors this week took six clumps of the former Tour de France champion's hair that now will be tested for signs of drug use. Armstrong says his hair was so "butchered" by the test that he had to get a buzz-cut to hide the mess.

If it sounds like a joke, it's anything but. In France, hair tests are now being used to hunt down the use of banned substances in sports. Here, when anti-doping authorities say they want the scalps of cheats, they mean it.

In Armstrong's case, it's not unreasonable to question whether anti-doping authorities around the world aren't going a little overboard. By his count, the culling of hair, blood and urine samples after he trained Tuesday in the south of France was the 24th time since he resumed cycling in August that he's been subjected to an unannounced anti-doping control.

The sample-collector "flew down from Paris, he was a French doctor, couldn't have been nicer. He was a total gentleman," Armstrong told The Associated Press by phone on Wednesday.

But "he didn't make my hair look very good, that's why I cut it after that, after he butchered it," Armstrong said. "There were a few good stripes at the back so we just buzzed it down."

The 37-year-old is staying good humored about the whole thing. He posted a photo of himself and his new hair on a Web site he uses to keep fans abreast of his movements and thoughts. But although he is being careful not to gripe, he also noticed that he seems to be getting tested far more than many other riders.

"A lot of my co-workers and old friends and former teammates are (on) less than 5" such tests, he told AP. "I'm fully aware that it's part of the job. I knew that going in. I'm a little surprised by the frequency, but I'm not complaining," he said.

"The honest truth is that it's only inconvenient if they come right when you're done training, so you're tired from training. There's things like that where you go 'Oh, I have to deal with this now?' Or if you're in the middle of dinner or if you're with your children."

Persistent doubts about whether Armstrong used drugs to win a record seven Tours explain in part why testers are targeting him. Armstrong insists he raced clean. And being tested a lot now works to his advantage, allowing him to keep the skeptics at bay as he tries to focus attention focused on his fight against cancer, the main reason he came back to the sport.

That's probably why he's keeping count of all his tests and publicizing them.

Also, the anti-doping regime progressed in the three years he was retired following his last Tour win in 2005. Unlike back then, the UCI now uses blood tests to try to determine over time whether riders are doping. Many of the tests Armstrong has had since his return to cycling have been for the UCI and its blood-watching program.

With this week's test, France's anti-doping agency was not only looking for drug use but also to send a message: Armstrong should not expect any favorable treatment.

The agency's chief, Pierre Bordry, made that quite clear, saying Armstrong "needs to know that he is like everyone else."

So it gave him the full treatment. Two samples — A and B — were taken not only of urine, which is standard, but also of blood and hair.

The hair test "troubled him quite a lot," said the agency's director of doping controls, Jean-Pierre Verdy. Hair is clipped with scissors, and six clumps each the diameter of a pencil were taken in all, he said. "Sometimes, it leaves holes," Verdy said.

There's a certain amount of overlapping going on between the various agencies that are keeping a careful eye on Armstrong, and perhaps the number of tests could be reduced if they shared results better. Armstrong says he even had a drug tester from Germany visit him in his native Texas — hardly cost-effective or environmentally aware.

The French anti-doping agency says the governing body of cycling, the UCI, won't share data that it is collecting on riders with blood tests. That means the agency conducts its own blood tests and bought its own equipment to interpret results in the same way the UCI does. In its defense, the UCI says it cannot share riders' blood readings without their consent.

Armstrong says it was the first time he has undergone a hair test, which was "the only thing that made it spectacular."

"At the end of the day, I have nothing to hide," he said. "You want to come and get blood, urine, hair, whatever you want, come on."

À conversa com Jo Lawn...

Vou deixar aqui alguns exertos de uma entrevista de Joanna Lawn, a vencedora do Ironman New Zealand por 6 vezes e que este ano ficou em segundo lugar...


ST: How are you recovering from Ironman NZ? Jo: It has only been a week and I feel pretty good. My body bounced back quickly. The amount of training for this buildup was a lot less than normal and I have recovered faster than normal. I feel pretty good now, but training hasn’t started so when that gets underway I will know whether or not I have recovered or not…


ST: Please describe a typical hard training week for us. Jo: Swim 6 days a week anywhere from 25-30km, bike 6 days a week anywhere from 500-700km, run 6 days a week anywhere from 90km, gym work 2 hours a week. Within this week I also get 2 deep tissue massages. I feel pretty beat up from these but it is crucial from the long term longevity of being an Ironman athlete.

ST: How do you spend the off-season? Jo: Off-season? What is that and when is that? Well I guess for us Aussies and Kiwis we don’t really have one. Generally after Kona I take a good one and a half months off, then again after Taupo. And what do I do? Eat out a lot…..and shop….visit sponsors….sleep in….

Extreme wheelchair athlete...

Aaron Fotheringham (born November 8, 1991) is an Extreme wheelchair athlete who performs tricks adapted from skateboarding and BMX.

Fotheringham calls his racing style ‘hardcore sitting’. He claims to be the first person to successfully perform a back flip in a wheelchair at the age of 14. He performs other tricks in his wheelchair including a 180 degree 'aerial'. He plans to fuse the back flip with the 180 aerial into what is known as a ‘flair’.

Fotheringham suffers from Spida Bifida and has been spending his life in a wheelchair since the age of 8. As a young kid he used to watch his brother ride his BMX at the skate-park and one day he took his advice and started riding in his wheelchair. He loved it so much he never stopped since. He got a new, lighter wheelchair, with four-wheel suspension that allowed him to perform most of the tricks BMX riders perform.

In 2006 Aaron Fotheringham ranked forth in a BMX competition in Sunny Springs Skate Park. He has suffered many injuries while practicing his tricks although he first tries them out on cushions and on hard plastic sheets before performing them on skateboard ramps.

Acho que todos nós devíamos estar muito felizes por sermos "normais" mas mesmo assim ainda nos queixamos...Life is Good, Play Hard...

Mulheres (meninas)
Barbara Clemente
Mariana Costa
Filipa Ferreira

Maria (Papoila) Areosa desistiu devido a uma lesão na perna esquerda e Anais Moniz também ela desistiu devido a problemas mecânicos na roda da frente...
Ah já me esquecia, a Joana também desistiu...

Homens (gajos)
"Zé" Pais mais uma vez a provar estar fortíssimo neste ínicio de época e a ganhar a sua quarta prova consecutiva..
João "Puras" Pereira
João "Johnny" Silva a fechar o podium..

Eu, infelizmente até está ater uma prestação razoável (no meu nível) e quando saio para o segmento de ciclismo apercebi-me logo que algo não estava bem.
Passados 10 Kms comecei ater caibras nas duas pernas o que me obrigou a desistir.
Gostava também de acrescentar que estava a competir com uma bicla emprestada o que talvez tenha influenciado em parte a desistência...
A prova em si acho que foi boa e o tempo estava quente, com o sol a brilhar *****
