G'day John. Hope Kev gives you a big warm welcome to the forum.
Am assuming you received this today https://us7.campaign-archive.com/?u=...&id=0987f038dd the first edition of Integrity Matters
Pretty sure anyone can subscribe to the mailing list via this link https://us7.campaign-archive.com/hom...&id=761f08fcd6 so I imagine the stewards and integrity department won't mind me making the link available here and spreading the word.
Something that may need clarifying. From Kev's link "conceded that cobalt was not performance enhancing" whereas the Integrity Matters link refers to cobalt ...can be misused and at high levels within the body acts as a Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1) stabiliser, Am not a chemist so maybe I'm missing somethng but HIF-1 does increase red blood cell numbers, hence performance enhancing hence banned?Quote:

Perhaps David, being forum member David Martin, could help sort out here please? Especially in light of Dan's post.
