Cyclists & Asthma? ~20% Increased Protein Synthesis W/ Salbutamol, Another Reason its Abuse Cannot be Ignored

Written by | published on

Even if it is medically indicated, there's more and more evidence that using beta-2-agonists (esp. but not exclusively orally) could provide an unfair advantage to athletes: increased protein synthesis, increased mitochondrial neogenesis, established ergogenic effects,... If you've been following the news, you will be aware that the Tour de France Champion, Chris Froome, has been busted with elevated levels of the beta-2-agonists  Salbutamol  in his blood ( learn more ). Now, we could debate forever about whether the green light Froome just got is a case of double-standards or not, but that's not the purpose of this article, anyway. Rather, I want to explain why the claim that salbutamol, officially an asthma medication, wouldn't be a worthwhile doping agent is bullshit.

β2-Agonists Build Muscle: Low Dose Terbutaline Adds 1kg (DXA) in 4 Weeks - With and Without Resistance Training

Written by | published on

Who would have thought that? Asthma-sprays probably beat the crap out of good old clenbuterol tabs when it comes to building muscle - even if you don't train! Have you ever wondered why so many poor athletes suffer from asthma? Well, if you read my old article about the effects of clenbuterol on myostatin  it may long have dawned on you that this could be due to the muscle-building effects of β2-agonists - doping on prescription, so to say. A couple of days ago, a group of Danish researchers confirmed your suspicions. They'd investigated if inhaled beta2‐agonist, terbutaline, alters body composition and metabolic rate with and without concurrent exercise training in healthy young men. Learn more about Clen - / Albuterol  and safer ways to get jacked at the SuppVersity Albuterol Can Improve Glucose Metabolism The Myostatin <> Clenbuterol Connection Higenamine Useful "OTC Clenbuterol"?

Albuterol / Salbutamol Doping Works! Cyclists Just Have to Take One Pill For a 4.1% Increase in Peak Power. Plus: Its Chronic (Ab)Use Makes Their Training More Efficient

Written by | published on

Inhaling salbutamol, which is the most appropriate way to combat asthma, will not provide the same beneficial effects to athletes as taking a much higher doses pill and thus "going systemic" will (Norris. 1996; Koch. 2013) Salbutamol (INN) or "albuterol", as it is called in the US, is a short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Just like its longer-acting brother clenbuterol, it has been developed to be used for the relief of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and just like its brother clenbuterol, it has been and still is abused by athletes all around the world as a doping agent. For good reasons? Well, a recent study from the University of Copenhagen would suggest just that. After all, the scientists from the Department of Nutrition, Exercise & Sports , Section of Integrated Physiology found acute and long(er) term beneficial effects of salbutamol (ab)use on peak power in their subjects, 20 male endur...

Chronic Albuterol Treatment Improves Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle: Could Your Beloved Coffee Do the Same?

Image 1: If there is a connection between asthma and diabetes, it probably isn't related to the use of beta-2 agonists. What is one of the most dubious ailments among professional athletes? Asthma, right! Asthma is much better than the meat in Lenny Paul's bolognese of which he claimed that it must be responsible for the nandrolone the WADA officials found in his bloodstream 1997. I mean, even if you don't want to say that you used it yourself the truckload of clenbuterol (once used as a standard treatment for asthma) could still be for your poor asthmatic dog like the one professional cylcist, Frank Vandenbroucke, had squirreled away in his house just when the WADA ransacked his house. Now, less than a month after the publication of a study by Hamzeh Elayan, Milos Milic. Ping Sun, Sunir Gharaibeh and Michael G. Ziegler in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology ( Elayan. 2012 ), I suppose that the next top athlete who is going to be busted will probably cla...

The Myostatin <> Clenbuterol Connection - More Muscle, Less Fat: Is an Orphan Nuclear Receptor the Missing Link?

Written by | published on

Image 1: Belgian Blue cattle are "naturally" myostatin negative. These beasts are 100% muscle 0% fat and though your usual clenbuterol fattened meatstock cannot compete, the heavily abused beta-2 agonist could infact work its muscle building, fat burning magic via very similar mechanisms. You have probably heard at least one of the dozens of reports on clenbuterol in pork, chicken, beef and lately sheep meat from China, haven't you? I mean, that kind of meat, innocent Tour de France competitors consume and end up with a positive doping test ;-) "Clenbuterol?", some of you may now ask themselves: "Isn't that the illegal fat burner bodybuilders use to get totally shredded in the last weeks of their contest prep?" Well, you are right, but " lean meat powder " ( CRJ. 2011 ), as our Chinese friends call it, has another, less known and hitherto not completely understood quality: Clenbuterol builds muscle! And while we did already know th...
