Subject: Leonardo Bertagnolli - Cardiac Arrhythmia - UCI Investigation
See the cyclingnews.com excerpt below. Leonardo Bertagnolli started his pro
career just 6 years ago and recently recovered from cardiac arrhythmia. Is
the UCI wondering if his cardiac arrhythmia is related to doping? Doesn't
the UCI believe that EPO renders the blood dense and causes serious vascular
problems like cardiac arrhythmia? Is the UCI going to open an investigation
into the true cause of Leonardo's victory? I will not be surprised if they
do.

-----------------------------------

"Leonardo Bertagnolli has marked a splendid return to his best by winning
the 27th edition of the Clásica San Sebastián today in Spain. The 29
year-old Italian of Team Liquigas escaped at 11 kilometres remaining of the
225-kilometre race with Juan Manuel Gárate (Quick.Step Innergetic) to then
overpower the Spaniard in a head to head sprint on the hot finishing
straight along the Bay of Biscay. A small chase headed by Alejandro Valverde
(Caisse d'Epargne) and Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital) finished around a
half-minute back.

The sixth-year professional from Trento had to stop for a month this spring
for what doctors diagnosed as cardiac arrhythmia but he was able to build
back to top-form and mark his first win after 17 months."

Darbepoetin alfa (rINN) (IPA: [d??(?)b?'p??t?n]) is a synthetic form of
erythropoietin. It stimulates erythropoiesis (increases red blood cell
levels) and is used to treat anemia, commonly associated with chronic renal
failure and cancer chemotherapy. Darbepoetin is marketed by Amgen under the
trade name Aranesp.

Like EPO its use increases the risk of cardiovascular problems, including
cardiac arrest, seizures, A-R-R-H-Y-T-H-M-I-A or strokes, hypertension and
hypertensive encephalopathy, congestive heart failure, vascular thrombosis
or ischemia, myocardial infarction and edema.

Oh, so now you go to Wika - effing - pedia for medical knowledge.

Go to the prescribing information for any legal drug. In a large percentage
of them you will find arrythmia / dysrythmia as a consequence. You will also
find that many drugs cause constipation, and diarrhia.
Go figure.
Read Scott's post again. He appears to be a better source than your googling
wikapedia

Cardiac arrythmia is not a vascular problem. It's a cardiac problem,
and it may not be a problem at all. Lot's of people have various
forms of arrythmia with no ill effect at all, and it's not caused by
doping.

for sure...little kids can have it...old people can have it. It's in the
electrical system of the heart and can be hereditary. He's fortunate
that they were able to treat it...it can go unnoticed and is often the
cause of sudden, mysterious deaths in people who were previously
healthy. WHen it happens to cyclists, who are usually young, we
automatically think doping because nothing shows up in an autopsy, but
arrhtyhmias can't be detected after death. It's not unheard of to be
able to get back to normal once it's treated.
