[reporter] Would it be considered doping if he took some kinda medicine to control the pain
[aldo doctor] Yeah if you perform an injection in this place with corticosteroids this is a doping. But we may, we may, we may report to the commission about the necessity of the injection, the corticosteroids. So they gave us a therapeutic use exemption for this medicine and we can, we can, use this kinda drug to improve the pain.

Eiköhän Aldon legacy ollut siinä. Olisi ollut hauska nähdä tuo kohta missä Aldo "vahingossa" läikyttää kusinäytteensä pilalle, kun oli antamassa sitä testaajalle :D
