Anti-Doping Rule Violation: Tyronne White

Press release from Cycling South Africa.

By Press Office · 278 comments

Cycling South Africa reports that Tyronne White has been found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation after an in-competition test conducted on 30 April 2016 confirmed the presence of the Glucocorticoid, Dexamethasone.

The SAIDS Independent Doping Hearing Panel imposed a period of ineligibility of 18 months, commencing on 14 December 2016. Mr. White is therefore suspended and prohibited from competing and administering in the sport of Cycling as well as in any other sport in South Africa and Internationally from 14 December 2016 until 13 June 2018. This decision may be appealed by Mr. White, the UCI, WADA and SAIDS.

Cycling South Africa respects the independence of the SAIDS process and will respect the outcome. Cycling SA further reiterates its zero-tolerance approach to doping in sport and will continue working with SAIDS in the promotion of a drug-free sport via its awareness and extensive testing programmes.

Reminds me of the guy that got done for Coke (can't remember his name) claimed it came from the lady bits of a prostitute

Very amusing story. Like most dopers excuses...

What happened to the pharmacist? Surely an admission of dispensing drugs in such a way that they contaminate each other is an admision of professional negligence that should lead to discipline from the professional registering body?

 

There is a similar incident with a certain pro whose pharmacist said he gave him something in error by reusing capsules...... which previously could contained a banned drug - so I guess the precedent exists for getting off scott free.

Quick question as far as I know Clenbutrol is not prescribed or available in SA for any therapeutic use anyway. So what was Mr chemist doing with it?

Just because the contaminant shows up.in a test does not mean it will be pharmaceutically active because the quantities would be so tiny that most normal people would notice.

 

Someone would however have to lay a complaint about the alleged misconduct... and I doubt the affected party would do it... can't see the benefit to him in the event the pharmacist is found guilty.

I think it was eddy that mentioned something about us having a moral obligation to society in these sort of circumstances.

Well yes- but I don't see the harm created in this instance that justifies a moral intervention- it's all by admission an innocent mistake - unless you suspect someone is lying..

In Motorsport any hearing or appeal due to any transgression is released in full detail. Surely in terms of transparency and considering the large number of stakeholders, CSA should do the same.

according to what I have found its for muscle injuries? Or am I missing the plot? Why was it administered for nausea? Apparently there is no "performance enhancing" properties, except if its possible to use as masking agent?

Happened to bump into someone extremely close to this issue on a ride a few days ago and his explanation was that Ty was given the wrong drip. There was a mix up between what he was meant to be given and some other IV bags left over form something to do with AIDS.

 

There is defiantly more to this as he got a reduced sentence for some reason. Time will tell.

If that is the case that is pretty much medical malpractice. An allegation like that against a medical practitioner or a hospital is a major deal in my view.

I agree, he even offered to show me "proof" in the form of a letter from the Doc which he was carrying in his pocket.

It brings in another interesting question, and raised with all the recent TUEs released by the russian hackers: should you be racing if you are that sick that you need medicine?

 

Not aimed at Ty or anyone specific, just asking questions.

So, did you look at the proof?

Nope, was busy riding my bike and to be honest I couldn't be bothered. Sick and tired of the same record being played over and over.

 

Ty is taking it further with lawyers from what I was told but only time will tell.

If they have a letter, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be presented at an appeal.

 

Spokes opinion on it won't amount for much.

I'm also of the opinion that any one can draw up a letter and sign it, a piece of paper means noting to me, I need to hear if from the doc himself.

The appeals committee will have the same stance, so I am pretty sure they will present something a bit more substantial than some random "letter".

 

It would need to be something like a sworn affidavit signed by the doc.

 

And in all honesty, they don't need to convince you, they need to convince the appeals committee.

You are easy to satisfy.

 

I want to see a malpractice conviction before the HSPC and a successful claim in delict before I even start listening to a doper's story.

Well on that point apparently they are not seeking any financial remuneration or legal case against anyone. Only for his name to be cleared but have spent a lot of money fighting this already.
