Edit: As an athlete, making the above link a bookmark in you browser is a must.

You can download an app...put in the name and boom you know....sort of immediately

Yes they do - you are meant to disclose what you have been using.

And did she?

I don't know - but I am not sure if it changes anything at all in SAIDS eyes!

It doesnt change a thing. Per saids

A few years back my Daughter was a fairly competitive swimmer and had been tested from the age of 13 at various gala's .

 

EVERY time she had to take any form of medication we would first phone our GP and get him to confirm if it was ok or not .

 

I feel this is a small responsibility for EVERY serious athlete .

Saves a lot of ''explaining " down the line . We were also fully aware that many OTC medications have banned substances in them .

This does not work always.

I explicitly asked the doc to check and make sure.

When I got the meds at the pharmacy I checked via the app and.....jip....banned.

So not all doctors are created equal.  Check it yourself!

You are reading the post wrong. He was there with a competitor. He is not from SAIDS.

Ag, nee, Vuurtjie! Jammer om te hoor.

Fire was guilty - along with nellie - of being one of the biggest thread hijackers on the hub. I like her. 

That adds nothing to the thread, I know. 

Same old same old.....yawn!

Oh god . I can't handle the don't judge rubbish . If she did it knowing , she is a dwiss , if she didn't read a label , as a professional , before a race , then she is a dwiss also . Case closed , lets find the next doper , oh look there's another ....and another , aaaand another .

Aaaaand it's none of their faults.

What a crap system we have where every single person that has been caught has in fact been innocent!!

"...Cycling South Africa reports that has been found guilty..."

huh?

"...Cycling South Africa reports that has been found guilty..."

 

huh?

....I thought I was going mad too

Credibility under a mushroom cloud

Whether intended or unintended

Think before you guys judge her read what she has to say about it.

 

She went to to pharmacy for Sinustat, they did not have stock. The pharmacist gave her Actifed and said it's almost the same thing.

now I know about the online check, it does seem a rather silly error on the athlete's part - SAIDS have really gone out of their way to make it easy to verify. - sinustat green, actifed orange

BUT

There's sort of precedent (if not totally similar), but Darryl Impey got off due to a careless pharmacist.

I'm sorry but there is no excuse for taking a banned substance even if available in every day meds or over the country. The SAIDS app is so easy to use. At the chemist you can use your smart phone, type in the commercial name and it will tell you if banned or not.

Should be every athletes responsibility.

I race vets competitively and before I buy any meds I check on the app. Just in case.

So no excuse for elite athletes.......other than stupidity.

In Darryl's case he spent a lot of money doing an investigation and could prove that the pharmacist had handled the banned substance on that equipment prior to filling his capsules. Hence the contamination. Via invoices, scripts and video. Otherwise he would have been banned. Same as others who have been able to prove that a supplement was contaminated.

If you can't prove any of that, then you are guilty.

Intent or negligence is very different to proven innocence or unintentional through contamination. Which still ends to be proved.

I still don't buy into that story. It's the same as Contador's "steak" BS story

I still wonder why the pharmacist wasnt charged with gross negligence. If he contaminates meds and causes a life threatening allergy is professional negligence.
