Påminner lite grann om Damsgaards oseriösa försvar av Armstrongs blodvärden.

Armstrong probably clean in comeback, Damsgaard claims
Denies USADA's claim of blood-doping in 2009 Tour de France
Damsgaard told sporten.dk that he disagreed with their interpretation of the results. “It is not impossible that there has been a blood transfusion,” he admitted, “but you have to know when the samples are taken and I think that I know a little more about that than Robin Parisotto does.”
For example, he said, one of the blood tests was done after the finish of the penultimate stage atop the Mont Ventoux -- “15 minutes after suffering through 40° heat. After six hours of racing. It is not a viable test."

Jag har inte speciellt stort förtroende för Damsgaard efter att han försvarade ärkefuskaren Armstrong, till skillnad från flera andra experter.

Damsgaards försvar av Armstrong går stick i stäv med hans mycket kategoriska uttalanden om liknande situationer.
Citat:
"Rasmussen did have a blood transfusion during the Tour or followed an EPO cure just before the Tour. Damsgaard says the increase of 3.6% in his hematocrit value and 1,1 gram per deciliter for his hemoglobin value is 'suspect', 'physiologically impossible' and scientifically impossible to explain in another way than that Rasmussen used doping"

Citat:
When the opposite happens — that the [hemoglobin] number rises during a hard race like the Tour de France — it indicates that one has received a blood transfusion,” Rasmus Damsgaard explains.
“We conclude that a rise in hemoglobin by itself ought to constitute the basis for the possibility of a penalty.”

Man undrar om det måhända beror på att han var anställd av Astana (och CSC) för att sköta deras interna dopingkontroller?
