Looking at the pics supplied by Gressier, I analyzed the accoutrements found in Makhloufi's locker. Though Makhloufi is likely egregious in his doping, none of that is really anything that would be SPECIFICALLY indicative of anything nefarious. It could be easily explained away by legal use. Though, it should be noted that he dilution materials as seen could also just as easily be used to mix with powdered testosterone as well as epoeitin alpha. The same NaCl could be used for the listed ascorbic acid or Mg sulfate. So, without actual drugs/ped’s present, it is non-incriminating. However, syringes used for the test and epo are typically 1cc to 5cc syringes. The syringes seen in the pics are 10-25cc syringes- far too large to utilize for test/recombinant epo. The secretagogue shown is junk. Any protein like that is broken down and rendered useless by stomach acid. It theoretically should stimulate increased growth hormone and igf-1, but has no such effect taken orally because of the reason described. Curious that he would be injecting l-arginine. It’s a theoretic vasodilator, so I suppose he is just anticipating increased blood flow. Many fertility specialists claim it to help with ED because of the aforementioned vasodilation.
I don’t know what the powdered ampules neatly arranged in the white box are, unfortunately. I cannot see a label.
Curiously, he also has 3 types of dilution fluids. I thought I saw infusion tubing previously shown on the news broadcast, but did not see these pics on Gressier’s story. Of course, the auto injector was not highlighted either.
