Clenbuterol is a β2 adrenergic agonist with some similarities to ephedrine, 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 fat and protein are metabolized, simultaneously slowing the body's BMR.

It is a banned drug for the bolded reasons. If he took Clenbuterol he was cheating. It is not approved for human use in Australia.

Don't forget this sample would have been taken quite a while ago , maybe even before the season started .

But dead set goose and I agree f**k him off immediately

Just out of interest how many of you hypocrites in here do drugs ?

Performance enhancers? No. Illegal recreational drugs? No. I drink alcohol and caffeine and thats it. Am i allowed to sink the boot in? Do I pass the test?

I take Clen every summer to cut up along with many other people i know. It does nothing for your aerobic capacity, all it does is give you the shakes and strips body fat. Thats all. Some countries use it as a bronchodilator as well.

It enhances performance (mass) in the subjects it was designed for ie: livestock, but does nothing apart from cut fat in humans.

i know a few people (body builders) who take the gel of clem...
it works different for everyone. for some it strips fat off like no tomorrow, for others it wont do much.
it is silly he took it, it stays in your system for a period of around a month apparently...

Bad luck Felix, I think the forum police are about to delete your post and give you a warning.


But I've heard about that too - and seen photos as well.

I love everyone defending the use of the drug...:lol: It's on the banned list, simple as that.

I dont think Reni Maitua is the sharpest tool in the shed, but people are going off half cocked here.

Newspaper reports that it was cocaine or ecstacy are based on what exactly?? just rubbish made up by some hack who writes for a newspaper, intending to flog more of out the 'lets get bad press on the NRL by writing sh*t' dead and decayed horse.

Second of all give him the right to a hearing before you judge his actions. Some legally available suppliments these days contain all sorts of crazy sh*t. He may have done this inadvertantly, or maybe not..? who knows.
