let’s not give him more publicity
for me its mildly annoying to think about this guy , i once shared first place with him, in an 4th level tier iron distance race , many years ago but even back then a coach in poland told me that this guy is not clean. my financial cost is like 500 euro from that . but what s annoying is i had initially a good impression of this guy as he raced fair that day, until he made a big drama, the next year, after a race ,where he went of course and then blamed the organizer to get him off course on purpose…
Isn’t that the same drug that Tomas claimed came from contaminated eggs?
The same or very similar. Its designated use is fertility treatment (mostly for women but off-label also for men). For men it boost the natural hormone production and spermatogenic functions of testicles. On itself, when taken as a doping, it doesn’t give that much. Its more interesting doping function, as far as I know, is to mask the gonadotropin markers which would’ve been abnormally lowered after using other steroids (e.g. pure testosterone). The drug would also be used by body builders for the same mechanism as used by fertility clinics - to kick-start natural production.
