The value that was found in Li’s sample, was extremely low - actually ten to twenty times lower then a WADA/UCI laboratory can usually detect, according to anti-doping expert Douwe de Boer: “Laboratories must be able to find 1.00 ng/mL, while a normal threshold value is considered to be 2.00 ng/mL. The value of 0.05-0.10 ng/mL that was found in Fuyu Li’s body points clearly in the direction of a contamination. On top of that, such a low dose would not help his performance in any way.”
“I have no idea how the Clenbuterol came into my body. All I know is that I have never taken doping products in my entire career”, said Fuyu Li. “My role at team RadioShack was one of a humble helper, nothing more. I am 31 years old and I know I could not move up to a leading role in the team, I was just extremely honored to be selected for this team and tried to do my job right. I have won the China Games (the main national sports event in China) a couple of times, which makes me a famous sportsman in China. I have a lot to loose in China and nothing to prove anymore, in my country. There was no incentive for me to do something crazy like doping and I did not do that. Not now, not at any other moment in my career.”
Douwe de Boer states: “The extremely low value points in the direction of a contamination. Clenbuterol contaminations exist in food supplements and in meat. Clenbuterol is often used to improve the visible quality of meat. There have been several scandals in China, with Clenbuterol poisoning of people by eating heavily contaminated meat. My best guess would be that something like this caused Fuyu Li’s positive. I hope he will be treated fairly in his process in China.
Doping rules state that a rider himself is held responsible for irregularities in his body. It will be hard if not impossible to really prove how he did get the Clenbuterol in his urine, though. Douwe de Boer agress: "Again, the poor food safety in China would be my best educated guess.”
Douwe de Boer is a Senior Investigator and Biochemist at the University Hospital Maastricht, the Netherlands and former director of WADA anti-doping laboratory Lisbon, Portugal.
