Newsgroup: it.sport.atletica
Titolo: Luperini innocence?

Could it be that Luperini was innocence when she was suspended for 45 days
because of a positive nandrolone test?

Nandrolone testing under a cloud
By Simon Hart
(Filed: 29/05/2005)
New research has cast doubt over the accuracy of the test for nandrolone,
the banned anabolic steroid, and raised the possibility that some athletes
suspended for failing dope tests could have been wrongfully punished.

 days because of a positive nandrolone test?
ok, excuse me...i think that if you would talk about Luperini with
other friends of this newsgroup, you shoud be invite them on 
it.sport.ciclismo
or similar (about cycling) or generally on it.sport.
Here, we talk about track and field ;-)
discussion about Luperini...is not properly in topic ;-)

Doesn't Atletica refer to all sports? These was the doping posts earlier,
and I thought someone might be interested to read this. Also I like to read
what they are saying in this group so far about the problem in Italy.
Bruce

 problem in Italy. 
Atletica is the translating of "Track and Field"
Here we discuss on sprinters, jumpers, marathon, ecc... cycling is OT.
When you talk about sport and specially about doping, you have so many
probability to find interested people on sport newsgoups.
But IMHO I think is "politically correct" to invite who is interested
to write on appropriate newsgroup, that's all ;-)
it.sport.ciclismo
it.sport
...for example
I would not to chase you but I want only to specify that you are not
on the correct newsgroup, ok? ;-)

Ciao Bruce,
non dar retta agli pseudo-moderarotori di questo NG
le discussioni sul doping interessano molti lettori
L'unica cosa che ti chiedo, trovandoci sulla gerarchia .it, e' quella di
scrivere in italiano :-)

Since the original post I posted about Luperini was good, until someone
brought up the accusations of doping against her, so actually I am not the
one who brought it up, but I did defend her. After that a whole series of
posts and replies started with the doping issues. Since then I feel it's
only fair to post this timely article in her defense, as it is quite
interesting. Although it's not in Italian, it should be acceptable as a
follow up, not that I will make a habit of posting here because I don't
speak or write the language. However I feel it's a good bit of vindication
for her, if possibly this could be a real problem since her image was hard
hit in Italy. :-)
At least maybe some here might find the article interesting.
Fair enough, ok, let's move on, thanks,
Bruce


Hi Bruce,
thanks for posting the article... I do find it interesting expecially
because it talks about new development of doping issues, which unfortunately
concernes now all kinds of sports... :-((
IMHO the misunderstanding is in the title of your post as the article itself
doesn' mention Fabiana Luperini ( although ironically two runners are
mentioned in it :-)) but it's probably applicable to her case just like to
every other athlete involved with positive nandrolone.
take care

Runners, yeah, I guess this could be track and field related for this NG! I
could of used a different post heading but hey, no big deal! I was told
Luperini doesn't use drugs from a fairly reliable cycling news agency in
Italy, so maybe her test was a fluke. She always denied using the drug. In
the last 10 years drugs have ruined a record amount of cyclists and other
athletes, and their fans relationships with their idols or heroes. Of course
some historians believe you should never abandon your stars, even when
tarnished but it's not just their fault. Now we are finding out that many
mistakes were made over time to stars unnecessarily because drug testing
agencies have made critical mistakes. It only takes one mistake to ruined
the career of an athlete who has worked their whole life to obtain the
prize, money and fame mostly, but most importantly self respect and the
achievement of the human spirit.
