Kevin Evans accepts doping charge

Wow thats a name I haven't heard or read of here in a while. Would be amusing / interesting getting his eleventy hundred and 73, no wait, 73, settle, I mean 44 centithousand on this all.

You are alot older than your 76 posts .... and having joined in Oct 2015 ........

How do our okes dope and go over to Europe and don't beat everyone? Our big races still dominated by foreign riders.

 

The Russians had a state sponsored program, and they won a bit, but certainly not dominating anything.

Europe invented dope....we're still lagging behind  

So, he received ozone therapy in Sept 2013, for "life threatening illness."  If it's true no problem.  But.... that's not why he was banned.  He was banned for offenses in 2014-15.

I can't believe that increased O2 levels will still be present 6 months later.  Surely if he was banned for the spike in oxygen levels caused by the therapy his ban would be from the when the spike was detected (Sept 13, plus 6 weeks perhaps?)

Might need SAIDS to explain why his passport didn't show abnormalities earlier.

The name is a dead giveaway

Throw more hot water on the Ants nest.....i cannot wait to read More!

im sure there will be a knock on effect

Man up and own up to the fact that you lied and cheated. Don't make wish washy excuses. Everyone in racing has known it for years but been unable to do anything.

 

The apologists are the worst. Making excuses because they so badly want their hero to be clean and untarnished.

 

I had a lot of flak 18months ago for insinuating he was doping. I'm fecked if i'm going to be quiet now that the dirty cheat has actually been caught red handed

Okay. I kinda get your anger and sense of vindication, but by your own admission you were insinuating something 18 months ago without the proof you now have. Not too many cyclists have been sanctioned on anecdote alone.

dont tjune my goose hey

Hahahaha! 

The less said about gooses the better, hey...

There is anecdote aplenty there, bud...  chat laters!

Wait - the guy tells SAIDS he's going to dope (he doesnt have a TUE), and then it takes 2 years for them to bust him?

Thats the whole issue, if there were any in the past 10 years, they would be have been coming in 5th and 6th behind the dopers. 

 

There clean riders never got the sponsorship, never got the fame, money etc. Thanks to the dopers....

My point exactly, so there's another side to the story.

Either you quit or dope!

Not much of a choice, but one doesn't seem to find too many quitters!

'more to come, '1 more', 'a little birdie told me', ' maybe 2 more' ...... yawn ..... will I be proved wrong?

Jaaa funny how other athletes know so much regarding other athletes that dope, but i wonder if they actually do anything about it other than comment on social media?

Isn't there an anonymous reporting system in place?

For which period were the actual irregularities on his ABP.... i know the press release talks about disqualifying him from Mar 2014 onwards but not sure if that means the irregularities were in 2014 / 2015 or earlier?

It's not about knowing what someone else does....it's about rumours....sadly in this case it's always a case of where there is smoke there is fire....

So were you threatened by his lawyer for one of your posts or comments - pray tell?

Wow you need to sift through pages of a handbag war to get anything out of it.

So it was all out in plain sight...

Can somebody please explain why people are bitching at SAIDS because they took KE's "constitutional right to medical care away"? I mean, if you are sick, then quit or retire or don't race?

Only a journo would say that!

 

A lawyer would say that she acted in good faith upon the instructions of her client, and that she had no cause to believe that he was not clean when she executed her mandate.

I can't believe anyone would lie to Emma.

Ozone therapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ozone therapy is a form of alternative medicine treatment that purports to increase the amount of oxygen to the body through the introduction of ozone into the body. Various methods have been suggested on the method of introducing the ozone into the body, and the purported benefits of this therapy include the treatment of various diseases including cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, among others. The American Cancer Society has concluded there is not enough evidence to support the use of this treatment in any disease.[1]

Historical uses

In 1856, just 16 years after its discovery, ozone was first used in a health care setting to disinfect operating rooms and sterilize surgical instruments.[2] By the end of the 19th century the use of ozone to disinfect drinking water of bacteria and viruses was well established in mainland Europe.[2][3] In 1892 The Lancet published an article describing the administration of ozone for treatment of tuberculosis.[4]

Ozone was used during the First World War to disinfect wounds.[5]

Cuba's communist healthcare system has its foundation in ozone therapy and every doctor in the country is trained in its use across a broad range of medical specialties and at different levels of the healthcare system, for diabetes prevention, treatment and rehabilitation; hypertension, asthma, cardiac deficiencies and herniated disks.[6]

Proposed use and scientific evaluation[edit]

Ozone therapy consists of the introduction of ozone into the body via various methods, usually involving mixing of the ozone with various gases and liquids and injecting this into the body, including the vagina, rectum, intramuscular (in a muscle), subcutaneously (under the skin), or intravenously (directly into veins). Ozone can also be introduced via autohemotherapy, in which blood is drawn from the patient, exposed to ozone and re-injected into the patient.[1]

This therapy has been proposed for use in various diseases, including cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer's dementia, Lyme, among others. One proposed mechanism for its use in treating cancer comes from the proposed theory that cancer does not thrive or grow in a high oxygen environment, and the ozone therapy will increase oxygen in the body and therefore help treat the cancer. There is no evidence to support this theory.[1] For treatment of HIV/AIDS, although ozone deactivates the viral particles outside the body, there is no evidence of benefits to living patients.[7]

Summarizing the substantial and growing body of study results showing deleterious health effects of breathing ozone, in 1976, and reiterated in 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reflects the scientific consensus that ozone is a toxic gas which has, as yet, no demonstrated safe medical application in specific, adjunctive, or preventive therapy. One possible reason, noted by the FDA, is that in order for ozone to be effective as a germicide, it must be present in a concentration far greater than can be safely tolerated by man or other animals.[8]

It is also noted that cinema projectionists who were exposed to excessive levels of ozone as a byproduct of the carbon arc lamps used in the projectors developed what was known as "Projectionists Lung". Ozone caused a deterioration of the lower lung membranes.[9]

A 1999 review concluded that "In the age of molecular medicine it is a real ‘act of faith’ to believe that ozone therapy might be a valid therapeutic option, but the history of medicine teaches us we should not disregard any possibility." [10] A review article published in 2001 found that knowledge regarding the potential benefit and harm of ozone in cancer patients is insufficient. Therefore, it did not recommend it as an alternative form of treatment for cancer patients.[11]

Ozone has been suggested for use in dentistry, but the existing evidence does not support its use.[12]

One review found tentative evidence that ozone injection is an effective treatment for herniated discs.[13]

There is some controversy about its use by athletes in an attempt to increase performance.[14]

Safety

Much of the concern related to ozone therapy revolves around the safety of blood ozonation. It is well established that when inhaled by mammals, ozone reacts with compounds in tissues lining the lungs and triggers a cascade of pathological effects. Saul Green has argued that since ozone has the capacity to oxidize organic compounds in an atmospheric environment, it should also logically oxidize blood components and endogenous human tissues.[15] When infused into human blood, ozone produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals,[16] an over-abundance of which is known to cause oxidative stress and cell damage, and is implicated in the progression of some degenerative diseases. High levels of inhaled ozone is known to be toxic, though single-dose inhalation of lower levels is not.[17]

Serious complications reported from the use of this therapy include the development of hepatitis and also include five reported fatalities.[11]
