Manificat, are you or are you doing? Anchio I used Ventolin

Last week, Maurice Manificat, number one of the French cross-national, had harshly attacked the Norwegian team in terms of & rsquo; use of anti-asthmatic drugs. In a new interview with NRK, l & rsquo; athlete & egrave; back on & rsquo; argument with statements that do not shine for consistency with earlier.

& Ldquo; Anch & rsquo; I used Ventolin sometime last winter & rdquo ;, said the vice-world champion in the 15 km TL. & Ldquo; I do not suffer d & rsquo; asthma, but sometimes I have the symptoms & rdquo ;. The circumstances in which the drug & egrave; was used, French has shown a very wide range of possibilities & agrave ;: & ldquo; In training or after the races. Every now & egrave; It happened to me to use it even before the races. Many athletes do & rdquo ;. & Egrave; It must be stressed that Manificat claimed to have taken no more & ugrave; of 200 micrograms of salbutamol at a time, well below the 1600 to day permitted by Regulation. A cause some perplexity & agrave; & Egrave; to memorize options the comparison between the sentences handed down in these days and the end of September. The 30 year old dell & rsquo; Haute Savoie had in fact thrown against the & rsquo; taking similar substances by athletes without a diagnosis of asthma, as Therese Johaug (& ldquo; & Egrave; very strange that a & rsquo; healthy athlete like Therese uses drugs against the & rsquo; asthma & rdquo;). Especially, in & rsquo; scope of discussion on a possible increase of -20 & deg; C to -12 & deg; C the minimum temperature for the competitions, Manificat had cos & igrave; expressed on & rsquo; use of drugs in question by those who presents occasional respiratory problems: & ldquo; When an athlete goes to the cold edge, there can be problems with breathing. Not for this to memorize options I go to the doctor and I do prescribe drugs. & Egrave; Crazy & rdquo ;. It is difficult to explain how such contradictory sentences can exit the same distance the mouth of less than ten days. The only portion of continuity & agrave; in the words of & rsquo; athlete & egrave; was that of & rsquo; an expression of solidarity & agrave; Martin Johnsrud Sundby, in summer disqualified for excessive use of salbutamol: & ldquo; I can understand what & egrave; Success & rdquo ;, said again French. It should emphasize, to avoid misunderstandings, that Manificat did not violate any regulatory norm. However, we hope that the 'athlete decides to release soon a third interview, clarifying on that occasion what distinguishes its position from that of the recipients of the arrows of last week, anch & rsquo; they never recognized guilty of infringements.
