Croeser contravenes UCI medical rules

As above. You can check your own Heamoglobin levels. Roughly correlates with Heamatocrit. If I remember correctly a Hkt above 49.9 is an immediate offense. (The main effect of EPO is to raise HKT/Hb)

From a quick google.

Hemo Control is a robust hemoglobin analyser designed to provide quantitative, lab quality results (imprecision of less than 2%) within 25 seconds for blood banks, hospitals and clinics. And also, thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery, it is the perfect analyser for use in the field. Which is why you will find Hemo Control (sold as HemoPoint H2 in the USA) used in anemia screening programmes in some of the world's most challenging environments.

The range also includes the Hemo Control Manager which provides bar coded identification of patients, operators, controls and cuvettes and Hemo Vet for veterinary use.

STAT-Site is a hand-held hemoglobin analyser that combines low cost per test with portability. It is especially suited to blood screening programmes in developing world markets but also has a niche in settings where operators are mobile.

UltraCrit is a high accuracy hematocrit measurement device for blood donor screening, It is the first and only hematocrit/hemoglobin measurement device to use ultrasound technology. UltraCrit has shown an accuracy of ≤0.4%.

HemataSTAT can quickly measure hemotocrit in any setting.

The HemataSTAT^® is a microhematocrit system. It provides quantitative hematocrit. The hematocrit method measures the amount of red blood cells in relation to the amount of plasma. HemataSTAT^® is also perfect for veterinary use

The DiaSpect Hemoglobin T and its hand held counterpart DiaSpect Tm are the world’s fastest Hemoglobin measurement systems with laboratory quality performance for anemia screening in any environment, with results in 1-2 seconds.

Lance and the boys had their own machines. More primitive then.

I see he has said nothing on Twitter, but it does look like somebody got an Emma letter.

I would like to publicly apologize to @bsbrandon5 @Brendondavids @RourkeCroeser for my previous tweet. Negativity and direct attacks at (1)

I saw Dr. Jeroen Swart tweet about Vit B injections being illegal last night.  And the fact that he mentioned it 9 times or something on his time line before.

 

Might not be connected though but it seems it is. 

Also saw that, but he stated if you take the contents of a neurobiron or whateva its called orally its fine....???

Diabetic does not use that machine.

Any press release from his new team manager, a former Italian road pro who raced many grand tours in the 80's and 90's?

See what happens when one joins an Italian team......

I don't think its a offence as such but will be a red light and athlete may then be targeted for more testing. However, if the Team is a member of MPCC then athlete won't be allowed to race if level is > 50. I think they call it a health check. (or team can just withdraw from MPCC and race anyway as we have seen, membership is voluntary)

Sounds about right. I know previously you had to go for testing (at your own expense) to prove that your natural Hkt is above 50. Maybe the rule changed.

The same as joining a Kazakhstan team.....
