what is clenbuterol ?

Clenbuterol, marketed as Spiropent and Ventipulmin, is a sympathomimetic amine used by sufferers of breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator. People with chronic breathing disorders such as asthma use this as a bronchodilator to make breathing easier. It is most commonly available as the hydrochloride salt, clenbuterol hydrochloride.

Clenbuterol is a β2 agonist with some structural and pharmacological similarities to epinephrine and salbutamol, but its effects are more potent and longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug. It causes an increase in aerobic capacity, central nervous system stimulation, and an increase in blood pressure and oxygen transportation. It increases the rate at which body fat is metabolized while increasing the body's BMR. It is commonly used for smooth muscle relaxant properties. This means that it is a bronchodilator and tocolytic.

Clenbuterol is usually used in dosages anywhere from 20-60 micrograms (mcg) a day when prescribed. A dose of about 20 mcg (women) or 40 mcg (men) should never be exceeded in a day.

Clenbuterol is also prescribed for treatment of horses; however, equine use is usually the liquid form of clenbuterol.

Clenbuterol is approved for use in some countries, via prescription only, as a bronchodilator for asthma patients. Recently though, the drug has been publicized for its off-label use as a weight loss drug, similar to usage of other sympathomimetic amines such as ephedrine. It is commonly used as a slimming aid despite lack of sufficient clinical testing either supporting or negating such use.

Excessive usage over the recommended dose of about 120 μg can cause muscle tremor, headache, dizziness and gastric irritation. Persons self-administering the drug for weight loss or to improve athletic performance have experienced nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, palpitations, tachycardia and myocardial infarction. Use of the drug may be confirmed by detecting its presence in semen or urine

In September 2006, over 330 people in Shanghai were reported to have gotten food poisoning by eating pork contaminated by clenbuterol that had been fed to the animals to keep the meat lean.

In March 2011, China's Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) said that the government would launch a one-year crackdown on illegal additives in pig feed, after a subsidiary of Shuanghui Group, China's largest meat producer, was exposed for using clenbuterol-contaminated pork in its meat products. A total of 72 people in central Henan Province, where Shuanghui is based, were taken into police custody for allegedly producing, selling or using clenbuterol.

Review from the The Guardian

Cipo on tv

Mario Cipollini on the Italian version of Punk'd


The premise for this video is the following: A kind man in a tiny car tells him that some dudes broke into his house and stole all his bikes. A minute later, an RV goes by with all his bikes...and thus, the men in zebra stripes give chase. 


For someone who always copped a bit of flack for being a show pony and pulling out once in sight of the Hills, i think the shows us a very different side of Cippo.


If you watch a lot of italian tv, you will understand what the shows host is wearing, otherwise you will be confused. Bunga Bunga.

Beard of the week

Firenze

Milan- San Remo

First day back on the job brings the recap of an outstanding result for GreenEdge cycling and Simon Gerrans in the Milan-San Remo. This race is not called a classic for nothing, many riders, many teams strive their whole careers for a victory like this and for GreenEdge to pull it off in their first season, with Gerrans pipping Fabian Cancellara, a heavily backed favourite, on the line is nothing short of brilliant.

Here is a video posted on the GreenEdge site. You appreciate that this team is an Australian team, when, every second word is bleeped out for modesty reasons and even the euro members are swearing like pirates. Classic.

Interestingly GreenEdge now has 5 UCI wins, more than Rabobank, Radioshack-Nissan and BMC.

Keep it up. And remember Goss is the Boss.

Best non-GreenEdge quote from Fabian: "I had lactic acid coming out of my ears".
