Wow, I'm amazed no one even thinks of Tyler being innocent.? I mean
seriously, homologous blood doping.? As in, take someone else's transfusion.? No
out-of-competition stuff with drawing your own blood and saving it, just drip it on
over.?
I know many will think I'm a total Pollyanna, but there are some people that
you would be very surprised to hear were doping, guys (or gals) who have been
there or thereabouts for so long and with such a reputation that it would give
you pause.? Especially given that they are tested ALL the time and that it's
a brand-new, pre-announced test.? If Frischknecht, or Jens Fiedler, or Dede
Barry, or many others I could name were positive in similar circumstances I
would wonder about the test.?
There are tests which are definitely suspect, due to their nature: the
hematocrit test and nandrolone metabolites test WILL turn up false positives, as has
been shown in peer-reviewed research.? There are people who fall outside the
norms, and they are affected a lot by stress, hydration, etc.? Any brand new
test should be observed with a bit of skepticism, especially when the positives
fall about a month apart and the athlete is the first to test positive.? Do
we even know if he had an elevated 'crit?? If not, why the hell would he have
taken the transfusion?
Part of this is because I know many people who have ridden a lot with Tyler
on the East Coast; I've only met him on one training ride.? But he has not done
anything to suggest this in the past.
Rose tinted,
Ian
