Master 5557 , California | Subject: RE: Tour de France rider suffers blood clot, be aware Fred Doucette - 2011-08-03 5:42 AM Hey easy there. 1) What people infer is not libel and I've seen much more accusation on the Peloton forum than anything I said here. 2) I did refrain from posting anymore, esp after the thread owner asked for it to get back on topic.KathyG - 2011-08-03 1:31 AM Geez....Chris is trying to keep the concept that longer endurance races can cause blood clots. By being aware it can happen, can help triathletes perhaps get diagnosed and treated sooner. Also knowing the possible ways to avoid them is helpful information for all of us. Why bring up all these other points and arguments and dilute the message?
x10,000,000!! Some people are just jerks. If you want to finger point about doping, start your own efffin' thread. BTW beware of libel laws and don't be surprised if the thread is pulled. Idiotic. Message is we all could end up with a DVT. Hydrate well, be smart and listen to your body. Last fall I was on a cross ride with 2 friends who are both good cyclists. We kept dropping the one guy and he said his chest hurt. Later that day he went to the ER, yup had a pulmonary embolus. Healthy as a horse guy, and no he wasn't doping. I thought of letting this go too but I respect you on here Fred so I owe you that much. I posted what came to mind and I naively didn't anticipate such an uproar. To ChrisM: I'm sorry for derailing this. I wasn't trying to troll your thread but that ended up being the effect. |

Here's 2010 2010

Here's the rest complete with 419 annotations. That took 30 seconds, any more "proof" you'd like?

Champion 8540 the colony texas | Subject: RE: Tour de France rider suffers blood clot, be aware Thanks for bringing this up Chris.
Isn't this a close to home subject for you also.. I thought you had a DVT in a lower extremity a while back and were on blood thinners for it hope you are doing well. {even if my memory is fogging and you didn't have a DVT } |

Expert 1233 | Subject: RE: Tour de France rider suffers blood clot, be aware So is there a critical time for movement after an extended rest? It looks like four hours is the threshold, but I've been on flights where due to weather, turbulence, or sleep, I haven't been out of the seat for over four hours. |

On thinners for life (or "indefinitely"), so yes it hits close to home for me. Back to training and racing, but still not fast (and with a different perspective) Thanks for the words. |

Master 2327 North Alabama | Subject: RE: Tour de France rider suffers blood clot, be aware Regarding the DVT issue - been there done that. I had knee surgery, wore the compression sleeves, and was sent home that afternoon. No problems. A couple days later, woke up to terrible throbbing in my lower leg and went back to the ER. A quick ultrasound found a clot in my leg and had me admitted to the hospital. While there, I was quarantined to the bed (to keep the HR low) and pumped with 3 seperate blood thinners. Sadly, I spent a full week in the hospital, and had to continue 2 of the 3 thinners for another 6months. Not an enjoyable experience. What makes it worse is that the Dr's couldn't pinpoint whether or not the DVT was from the compression socks, bad luck, or the actual procedure. Either way, it happened. I definitely make it a habit to get up and move around when traveling, just to do my best to keep blood moving and hopefully avoid another occurance. |
