One and the same.
After a thorough review of the case, including the examination of medical records provided by the athlete, USADA determined that Schiefer’s positive test was caused by a medication prescribed in a therapeutic dose under the care of a physician. The medical treatment was completed more than three months prior to the date of sample collection, which is consistent with the concentration of clomiphene and its metabolite in the athlete’s urine sample. Although the substance was taken at the direction of a physician, the World Anti-Doping Code requires athletes to obtain a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) before using a prohibited substance.
Under the World Anti-Doping Code, an athlete’s period of ineligibility for using a prohibited substance may be decreased if the athlete lacks significant fault for the anti-doping policy violation. In this instance, USADA determined that Schiefer’s reduced degree of fault justified a reduction to six months.
Wow. way to go USADA. What a joke. He shouldn't be considered a doper. Though I am curious why a guy would be prescribed clomiphene.
Wasn't it called the Scrote poll?
I lived for that poll and it's cream colored background.
I am not familiar with this drug, but a quick review indicated that its effect is similar to FSH--follicle stimulating hormone. In other words it stimulates ovulation. Why would a 46 year old male need this agent? And what would be the benefits for an athlete.
No, it stimulates follicle aka hair growth. He's probably going bald.
