Do you guys remember when Lance Armstrong tested positive for triamcinolone in 1999 and he came up with a doctor's script and brushed it off as "It's just a skin cream"?
Here's some interesting reading about triamcinolone:
How does it work?
Triamcinolone acetonide is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are hormones produced naturally by the adrenal glands which have many important functions on every organ system. Corticosteroids affect the strength of heart muscle and its response to natural chemicals affecting heart rate. They affect the water and salt balance in the body and also enable the body to cope with stress. Stress includes changes in temperature, pain, fear, anxiety and illness and can be hazardous if the body is not equiped to cope, due to low levels of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids allow us to respond to stress by increasing the rate and force of the heartbeat, increasing blood supply to essential tissues (muscle, heart, brain), increasing the body's supply of energy by raising blood sugar and by several other effects on body systems

Corticosteroids are catabolic to muscle and bone leaving an athlete weak with danger of tendon rupture. I hardly think Lance got any enhancement from this drug. Corticosteroids taken by oral administration do provide a little extra energy but also alot of bloat from excess fluids.
liftsiron is a fictional character and should be taken as such.

No doubts.... if its used long-term. But, if the benefits are there for a few of the mountainous stages.........
Just some food for thought.

Exactly, specific events maybe 5 times a year and it's no problem. If you want to win evry race you do this year then big amounts all season. The nest season though you won't be able to finish a race.
