Adverse analytical finding in recent mountain bike stage race

By Matt · 878 comments

Cycling SA received notification from the UCI (International Cycling Union) of an adverse analytical finding from a sample provided by Barry Warmback on 18 March 2013 at the Absa Cape Epic.

The analytical report confirmed the presence of the steroid, Stanozolol in his sample. Barry is therefore provisionally suspended with immediate effect from competing in any event. The SAIDS (South African Institute of Drug-free Sport) process will now take its course.

Cycling SA reiterates its zero-tolerance approach to doping in sport and will continue working with the UCI and SAIDS in the promotion of a drug-free sport via its awareness programmes and extensive testing.

You still upset you came last at the epic? Is that why you making a big scene about a back of that pack juicer?

Once again big bulging muscles built up in the gym are of very little use out on the trail.

Sure it great to have good core strength and it'll help with some explosive power but they don't help with anything over 90sec.

 

And don't really know how being able to bench press 120 kg over 80kg is gonna help with anything other than getting up off the floor after a fall.

Hehe look who swallowed a clown for breakfast

 

Haven't done one Epic, would I do one? Yes but it's not high up on my list at this stage.

 

If you want to get into a dick measuring contest I can tell what my claim to fame is?

All i'm really interested in was to know where you stood on this argument based on your comment "Some okes need to get their heads out of their arses"

 

But typicaly you've turned this into a dick measuring contest again, well done.

Ok so if I am feeling a little bloated and took a diuretic a few days before the Epic started and got tested as a back marker they would have been thinking that I used it as a marking agent and would have DQ'd me?

I agree that upper body muscle size has an adverse effect on cycling. Don't fool yourself though, roids will make a big guy climb a hill that will leave lightweights in the dust. It is banned for a reason.

 

Look, I don't want to jump into this argument because I can't really care less. I don't care if you support Barry or not. I am sure the guy is a good guy accept for the whole doping thing. Barry, if your story is true, then I feel sorry for you because there was no intent from your side. However it does seem like you used roids for 3Towers so this whole argument is Mute. You did however own my respect for not getting your B sample tested and denying the results like some of the pros...

 

The fact of the matter is just, roids are banned for a reason, don't think for one moment there are no benefits to be gained from using it. And yes, doping is wrong in sport, it does not matter where you place... I wish the benefit could have been given to people than unknowingly have banned stuff in their systems (like some flue meds etc.) But unfortunately this can't be done because some of the b@stards among us will use this excuse to dope...

I'm not gonna demonise MTBaaisiklist for his error or, if at all, intended gain with druggz.

 

It is up to his conscience as to what really happened.

 

His scenario will hopefully deter others, whether at the front edge or back of the bunch.

Probably.... and probably unfairly but the problem is where do you draw the line and how do they decide who is bullshitting and who isn't?

 

Maybe there should be different rules for "us funrider" types, but then what about the health concerns related to some of the products?
