    Maybe the Krusher will revive his career now with suddenly gained unlimited stamina and granite chin.

    Trace amounts!!! Geez and considering you have to dose twice a day to have any effect then you would not test for trace amounts!

    What is it with all these idiots thinking clenbuerol is a magic drug!!! It’s actually obsolete as a ped! No boxer in their right mind would purposely take that as it hurst your cardio unless you have some sort of lung respiratory issue it will tire you faster!!!

    Clem sucks guys! It gives you crazy cramps as well so you can’t train at $100 %

    i will be the first to admit, i dont know enough about it to make a judgement call about the efficacy of the supplement, but any type of unnatural effect, whether beneficial or detrimental, is prohibited, and therefore cheating. its not like its something impossible to avoid. youre a professional being compensated for your diligence.

    There clearly is an issue there.
    But the way the WBC has been handling it is hilarious.

    If it was HGH that was found in his system, they would have increased the threshold for that drug

    There seems to be a legitimate issue with modern testing being too accurate. Meaning they find trace amounts of what is clearly contamination.
    Should an athlete get punished for that?
    It´s like giving a drop of water to someone who is dying of thirst. Won´t do **** all to them.

    It´s a crazy and complicated word, modern PED testing that is. It does come down to the athlete, but they can´t control everything. Maybe you eat some lasagne ya girl made that was made with grade A Canelo beef. Suddenly a test finds trace amounts of good ol Clen-Boy in your system and you will be deemed a drug cheat for the rest of you life.

    This is why we need commissions or someone non-bias to oversee these matters. Gather all the evidence and make a decision based on that.
    The WBC is clearly biased, so they can **** right off. Them making their own rules regarding a single drug is a profoundly stupid way of going about this whole issue.

    Agreed. Clen is a mild fat burner more than anything else. It has zero anabolic effects, doesn't build muscle and may have some very minor improvements in stamina, but it's not a steroid and it's not gonna make you a cardio machine. I do however completely understand why it's a banned substance due to the possibility of increased stamina.

    The guys who I knew who were on it didn't seem to suffer all that much... They dropped a **** load of weight fast, leaned up (the daily cardio contributed to this as well no doubt) and the only complaint either had were they got bad shakes and jitters.. Like all peds it's got its uses

    I'm sure there would be a cruel irony in these cheats finding serious health complications further down the road, after retirement, which will make them regret their behaviour whilst competiting.

    As for this new position related to the use of clenbuterol, it's just sad to me.

    Or they know they can use that excuse to get away with it.
