So if she's genuinely ill and not fit, why have her PR people been continuing to push the "contemplating legal action to compete with the men" story? Doesn't lend itself to anyone having a lot of sympathy for her, other than as someone who has a load of hangers on poorly advising her on her public profile.

I guess the reason that no one knows what is wrong with her is because the tests are still being done, they know her symptoms but it seems they are uncertain as to the cause

They are not, she mentioned it in an interview that was filmed prior to Levi and broadcast the weekend I think

She is out of hospital.
| Quote: |
Lindsey Vonn was released from a hospital in Colorado on Wednesday, although details of her illness remain unclear and there is no indication of when she can begin skiing again.
"Lindsey is feeling much better today and has been released from the hospital," Vonn's publicist Lewis Kay wrote in an email. "She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors are still working to determine what specifically was the cause of her illness but thankfully she has responded well to their treatment."
Kay added that "we do not know when she will be able to return to the mountain and will update as her health improves."

Well after admitting she has suffered from Depression and now taking a break from skiing, what is really going on with Lyndsey?
Has she finally realized she may have to deal with the emotional and personal issues from her divorce? Is it really something more seriously physically? I hope not.
Wishing her a speedy recovery from what ever it is and that she will be back soon

Fattes13, Maybe she just needs a good........recharge 
Hopefully that's all it is, she's not happy if she's not on top!

Fattes13, To my mind she needs to divorce herself from her PR team as they are not really advising her very well. Their response to a DNF is to issue some kind of "statement", which is seen by many as either an excuse or an attempt to overshadow the result. They obviously have little or no idea how the fan base in ski racing really ticks. The reporting and forum comments I'm seeing on European racing sites is getting less and less sympathetic.
Step back, go home to your family and get your head around the problems. I hope she is back soon as when she is on her game she is a really exciting racer to watch. I've read she is coming back for the Semmering races with the aim to be back in form for the World Championships in Schladming. Seems a wee bit ambitious to be honest, I think she needs to cut herself more slack, she has had one hell of a year. The divorce was not as easy as some have felt it was, a bit of a fight about the finances as ever. According to one site, it is still not all settled either. Maybe writing off this season with all the fuss and bother it began with, then she can focus on preparing for Sochi in the right frame of mind.
Good to Mancuso and the little nipper, Schiffrin holding up the performances. Schiffrin had the fastest second run on Sunday!

Same PR team as Svindal apparently!!! I think it is the media that demand so much of her and always want a story if its not the cat fight with Reisch its Maze etc.
I really do hope for the sport that she recovers properly and is back on the circuit soon.

Fattes13, If that is true then they are getting something seriously wrong with her! Are you certain? His PR is fine and suits both him and the audience. Perhaps the PR is being issued by her sponsors(Head and Red Bull being the main ones).
I hope she is back but only when she is ready. A lot of speculation on German forums as to whether she will be doing the talk show rounds while back in the USA. If she does, then she is not being allowed to rest and recuperate really is she?

I really doubt about them having same PR team. In this business (PR not skiing) things are much more complicated then someone might think, and considering Vonn's target market is USA, while Svindal's is not, I really doubt same people would be top experts on both markets. It might be it's same agency (no Red bull is not running their overall PR), but that doesn't mean same people. And with that, this can explain 110% different approach. But also being man or woman dictates different strategies. I guess most of people buying ski gear couldn't give a sh**t about Aksel in swimsuit, while most of them would kill for seeing Lindsey in that (no matter what someone might think now, but I really don't want to see that either  ).

Even though Armstrong thing is very popular lately, I don't really think this is problem with anyone in alpine skiing. There's still so huge gap before alpine skiers hit limits where doping would be needed, so I don't think this is case here. Ok someone might be stupid enough to think, doping can be used instead of training, but I still think this is not an option.
As far as Lindsey is concerned, her arrogance can't be compared to what Armstrong was (no idea how he's now, since it's has been few years since I needed to deal with him). Lindsey might be arrogant to her teammates or other competitors (this also depends who do you ask about this), but toward media and fans, she's anything but arrogant. Armstrong on the other hand, was arrogant toward everyone, including (or especially) to people who made it possible for him to be what he was... to media. |
I did some googling on drugs used in alpine skiing and came up blank. So in your experience does it happen at all or not? If it does what do they use and why?

skir67, I don't think there's (much) doping in alpine skiing. Even when talking with friends who are still deep into this (WC coaches and techs), they never mentioned anything about this (and with at least some, I'm good enough friend, that I would hear that if there would be some). Even based on this what I know about doping, there's really no need about it, concerning current training program those guys have. But I believe there's always someone, who might think, taking some pill will bring you from place 30 to 1st without doing anything else.

I guess this is why I could find virtually no info on the subject because it's not really happening. If they were to use anything what do you think the most likely drugs would be and for what reasons?

skir67, I'm no doping expert, so I have no idea about other sports. I know a bit (it depends what a bit means to someone ) about doping usage with xc skiing (no I have never been using it, but this has to do with finance issues not some fake moral and ethics issues ), and related endurance sports to some extent, but alpine skiing is totally different when it comes to this, so I have no idea what. But one thing similar to all sports, are things for faster recovery. These products work with every sport, but that's just one part of doping program. Other parts differ so much from sport to sport, that someone, who is not expert in these things, really can't tell anything, that wouldn't be pure guessing. And as I wrote, I'm not some doping expert, so...

Water based or orally administered testoterone or derivatives of that test, I'd most likely say(oil based test takes longer to start working and stays in the system longer). They help ones body use proteins more efficiently (in simplistic terms) thus meaning one can train harder and longer then recover quicker ready to go again, strength also increases at a rate un achievable with out using performance enhancing drugs.
