I'm pretty sure this was not just a random test.As said before that would be a waste of money.They must of acted on a tip off.

Not that i have heard, Random Urine Sample, end of Epic Day1

STANAZOL CUTS

STANAZOL CUTS

You have to swallow blades??????? nooooo!!!!!!!!

AND THATS FROM MR DRUG FREE, I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG TILL I SEE YOU HERE?? HOW CRAZY IS THIS???

Indeed.

For me doping is not really about breaking the rules - it's about the effect on other athletes. Whilst I appreciate that the people that came 383 (Barry came 384) might feel a bit hard done by I don't think they will be missing out on any lucrative 2014 contracts.

No harm no foul is my feeling.

Give him a 12 month ban for not asking his doctor the right questions and be done with the whole episode.

If he was a pro or category contender I'd go with the full 24 months (10 years and a hefty cash fine if I had my own way but I guess we have to play by the rules).

No way, damnit Barry, been telling you for years to get off the juice - what's wrong with you??

 

by the way who is Barry Warmback?

Jip, my question as well.....is he from Warmbad?? if he isn't an Elite racer....WTF??? .....maybe I need to read this tread further......Am I missing something.....why waste money to test a mid pack rider????

Not totally related, but some criticism of SAIDS:

Graeme Joffe ‏@Joffersmyboy17m

The SA Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) will not appeal the Mamabolo ‘not guilty’ verdict. Finally some admission of their failures.

Here's we go again... CSA and UCI... so who cares? They are destroying a great sport we once knew... who cares about doping and results at the back of the pack... we ride for fun and UCI is making what used to be a fun outing very complicated... CSA for that matter is expert in double standards.

The rider should at least have been notified and questions asked before this was published. He could be totally innocent, he's a back marker - what does it matter...

Test the pros who make money by doping.

That's why their R6 000 000 doesn't go very far... Like David George said, they need R100 000 000, I guess then they'll be able to test each and everyone...

I don't approve of doping, but I'm pretty sure many of us have unknowingly used a banned substance before. Life's complicated enough, if you have to go out and research every substance your Doc prescribe or weight whatever you take in you might as well stop riding.

UCI is all about money and total control of the sport. http://www.cyclingne...p-oregon-events

We need a new independent MTB organisation in SA who cater for 90% of riders as 90% of riders in SA are there to enjoy and race your buddy and not become pro riders in Europe...

The small Karoo town who once organised a great MTB race as part of their annual festival, attracting 80 or so riders, who actually put in effort for the development of MTB in the local community, and offering a very enjoyable MTB experience, now have to spend half of the income from the race, paying CSA and their official to become sanctioned. The pro who happens to be in the region may not ride according to CSA/UCI...(if they are not sanctioned) - then the CSA official they sent had the witt to even ask if she may ride the race!!! While getting paid by CSA...who takes the organisers money to do it...

That's how many great events, albeit small, die... CSA under UCI banner...

Indeed.

Coming in at 384th, I guess Barry would NOT want to do the Epic again!!! Even if he isn't banned!!

No thanks to him, me and my partner still stays 300th!!! Darn, thought we might move up 1 position!!!!

It probably doesn't make a difference whether he gets banned or not, but if someone knowingly cheats that person should be banned! I don't know how much of a difference these types of drugs makes, but if I train my butt of for 6-12 months, I wouldn't like it if someone beats me because of drugs and not because of better preparation, whether I come in second or 1,000th!

That oke weighs 120kg. What is a bit of Bioplus going to do for him, really? He probably took it just to have the energy to get out of bed!

From the Epic Results page:

 

whether I come in first or 1,000th!

Technically if you came in first the guy on drugs didn't beat you....

EISH GUYS EASY EASY NOW LETS PLAY NICE

Fixed

At least he keeps his back warm.

EISH GUYS EASY EASY NOW LETS PLAY NICE

TheHub never plays nice......haven't you learned anything???

Well, I guess he will now never be able to "tick off one of the world's toughest MTB events from his list of MTB accomplishments".......as per his EPIC bio.....

Hey guys. Stanozolol is not prescribed by a doctor ever really. The only way that this was mistaken is if he took a contaminated supplement. Athletes are responsible for whatever they put into their bodies however. No excuses and no TUE here I'm afraid.

He looks like a gym bunny.

Biceps and all.

Ja, Tapped Out and all.

:lol:

OK, if that is him in the pic, then me thinks he did not reportedly take the steroids to improve his cycling..... .....also with a body like that, me thinks he was targeted at Epic for a test!!! He's frieken huge!!! Was he doing Epic to cut excess fat for SA Bodybuilding Champs!!!????

Honestly. Obviously he likes the gym, wants to get his pecs to pop out a bit. Decided he wanted the challenge of a race, was never going to win. This is like testing a guy in P bunch at Argus just because he looks a bit swollen. If you told me that everybody who raced Epic had to have a racing licence then fine, test the oke in 245th position.

It is still cheating. Perhaps more random tests will reveal how big the amateur doping scene really is...

Doesn't look like the kinda guy one takes seriously.

I don't like judging people on looks...but really...

Seems that there is a bit of a sentiment to allow doping for fun-riders, no harm no foul, someone said. I say bollocks some back of the packer turns up dead from EPO or has an aneurism from a steroid use in a race like the Epic or even the argus it is seriously bad news for the organisers, they cannot and should not allow it. Allowing drug use (and I am not suggesting that this dude did this) to give someone a bit of a pick me up because he is short on training or ability is ludicrous.

There is merit in random testing, it means that some hacker, who has some cash to spend or a mate who drives an ambulance, is going to think twice before sticking something into his body that is going to harm them.
