Boosting for training purposes with a technique with a prolonged detection period. Seems to make very little sense unless the detection window for homologous blood doping is much shorter than I reckon.cyclingheroes said:kashechkin tested positive

maybe he was supposed to go have gone to San Sebastian but with the Astana layoff didn't end up going but still had the blood in his system?Wayne666 said:Boosting for training purposes with a technique with a prolonged detection period.

Or it's from earlier in the season (TdF or even Dauphine) and he just wasn't hit with the test until now?

Good thing Disco paid that bribe money to Vebruggen.
No, he already knew he would not start at San Sebastian...doctorSpoc said:maybe he was supposed to go have gone to San Sebastian but with the Astana layoff didn't end up going but still had the blood in his system?
Maybe its leftover from the tour?plectrum said:Can someone please explain the benefits of being doped 1 day after Astana suspend all competitive cycling?
Was it already in his blood from the end of the Tour? Or did he just decide Vino's aint coming back for his stash I may as well use it!

That's the only way I can make sense of it.Jan the man said:Maybe its leftover from the tour?

Hah, maybe they confused Vino's and Kash's blood bags?
If Vino and Kash have the same blood type, you can be damned sure that's what happened. If he had topped up with a bag of his own, it would have been nearly impossible to detect. If he mistakenly grabbed a bag of blood that was Vino's... it could explain both of their positives.Cobblestones said:That's the only way I can make sense of it.

earth_dweller said:Who says anything changed on the riders & teams? IMO, Vino and Kash (and all others) have just been doing the same thing (same regimen) as they have done for many years. But the organizations decided to burn a few riders this year on the pretense that they are cleaning up sport.
I guess Astana got the short straw. Man would I be ******.
Yep, did not mean to imply it was random at all. It is very much a calculated plan on the part of UCI to take down ASO, and it is very interesting to see who is not touched at all....jhuskey said:I agree with you in part, but I don't believe the teams and or rider were picked at random.
There was method and intent involved.
