sick burns from Jakscke and Rasmussen at the end...

Read this from a French sports doctor who has written a lot about asthma in sport and thought it was interesting vis. the whole dehydration issue:

La décision sur ce dossier appartient aux instances. Sur ce Tour
d’Espagne la canicule sévissait ; il est possible que les urines du
coureurs aient été fort concentrées, augmentant alors le taux de
Salbutamol au contrôle ; mais lors du contrôle la densité
(concentration) des urines est mesurée ; si les urines sont trop
concentrées le sportif doit boire et refaire le contrôle ; si les
urines sont trop diluées le sportif doit se représenter plus tard au
contrôle.

The decision on this file belongs to the authorities. On this Tour of Spain the heat wave was raging; it is possible that rider's urine was highly concentrated, increasing the rate of Salbutamol in the control sample; but during the control the density (concentration) of the urine is measured; if the urine is too concentrated, the athlete must drink and re-submit the control; if the urine is too dilute, the athlete must present himself later to the control.

When I was tested I had to piss twice, in two separate flasks, because I was too dehydrated post-race (and this was in Wales). The tester was said not to panic and drink shitloads in order to piss again, because if I diluted the second go too much it'd be fucking hours before I could leave waiting for the concentration to go up again.
