Crikey!!

I remember working with an ex-pro cyclist and he was saying that the doping aspect was rife in European cycling - basically they signed their lives away to be come human pin cushions, but also non-disclosure and plausible deniability contracts...so they get hung out to dry of they get sprung.

There is no mention of what dose of Anavar she was taking and for how long though.

As a enhanced person myself, It should be a lifetime ban. When you go enhanced the changes are forever even if you do stop taking and pass tests. You are still enhanced and have way more potential than a Natural person.

Didn't the article say it was only for a month in November and she saw no benefits?

But yeah - take enhancing substances, irrespective of eventual outcome and it should be a ban for life. The consequences are known to everyone and the risk is never getting on a bike competitively again.
