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.

No you didn't miss anything.

 

There was diferent conversations going on about general statements.

Ty's whole argument is basically a house of cards.

The appeal has not taken place yet. It does not form part of the initial tribunal.

sure, but there is a hearing as part of the initial tribunal and i'm guessing this info would have been presented?

 

unless there is some new info which has come to light

My questions have nothing to do with Ty's case. His case merely sparked my questions. My discussion has rather been about potential mistakes/gaps in the medical tents in a general discussion.

 

Not sure why it's so difficult to have conceptual discussions.

Not sure I agree - sounds like a story that can be verified (or not) by the medic/doctor that treated him.

 

Anyone knows why he got a 6 months reduction on his ban and not the full 2 years?

At sani2c I dehydrated on Day2, got some fluids pumped into me that evening and one or two injections.

 

They didnt really tell me what they gave me, should I have asked?

I just wanted to feel better and get on with finishing.

yes, you should have asked - what if you were allergic and died?

 

Also, I'm not sure if no-needles is a UCI policy or a WADA policy.

If the meds were right, can the doc sue for bringing his name in disrepute? [emoji317]

 

If the meds were right, and did not contain a banned substance?

If the meds were right, contained a banned substance, but the cyclist was correctly informed?

My uninformed opinions, and assuming you ask one question of whether the doctor can sue, but based on different scenarios?

 

Yes, technically any person can sue.

 

But as far as I know, the doctor only has to provide the name of the medicine given. He has no duty to know of or inform the patient if it's on some banned list, because that's not law. That responsibility to find out is on the athlete and as far as I know it is clearly stated in the UCI rules. Thus the doctor can sue for e.g. defamation.

 

If doctor gives and informs of correct medicine given, no problem for doctor. If incorrect medicine given, doctor can be sued in personal capacity for both malpractise and that evidence can also be used in the doping case.

 

Patches raises good qurstions which I have also thought about. We should explore them. "Doping" in sport is very grey. The only problem is that real cheaters use that grey to try and get out of being caught or being found guilty, which kind of messes it up for everyone.

I'm sure this was brought up when pourke chop tried his they were for tubeless sealant schpiel, but what is the no needless line?

 

Nothing to be injected. No IV drips. No needles at all (not even for popping blisters or getting stitches).

yeah, but that was and international thing. I'm not quite sure if no-needles applies to local riders?

There are 2 separate processes here i think.

 

First if a doc hands you a panado and it turns out to be something else he is negligent and you would be able to lay a complaint at the health profesdions council which, if doc was found guilty, would censure him. Probably a fine, in extreme cases suspension. Such a guilty finding would open thr path for you to lay a civil case against him for damages caused you by his negligence.

 

In terms of the doping that would be the cycling body's decision and separate from the doc's legally mandated medical service competence. My personal view is that the athlete should not be punished if he were given med a which is allowed and which turned out to be med b which is banned.

 

 

Again, the hypothetical question was: IF the Doc hands you a pill and says its a Panado, you check it on WADA app, it says all clear, you take it.... BUT the doc by mistake handed you something else...... How would we deal with that?

 

Again, these are hypothetical questions, so that some sort of constructive discussion can take place, they are not necessarily about Tyronne's case.

What you are describing is very similar to what supposedly happened to Daryl Impey? (In a roundabout way)

Exactly. The unintentional defense. But you have to have a strong case and it's for you to proof your innocence as far as I know.

 

Conrador tried the same with his steak, but in his case they found that the probability of the steak being contaminated was just too low and thus impropable.

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

Sort of yes.

 

So in Daryl's case, he was found innocent because the pharmacist was negligent.

 

So whatever happened to that pharmacist? Surely Daryl should have sued? I for one demand to know who it was so that I can avoid the pharmacy and protect my family from possible poisoning!

Seems more interesting to discuss hypothetical rather than facts!

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.

The best bit of all these ADRVs is how the guilty party's mates all jump in with messages of support. Definitely convinces me the offender is a stand up character and there has been some humungas cock up by someone other than a cheating athlete.

 

Of course in the dodgy affidavit by the unnamed pharmacist's case, all the pros rushed to congratulate the doper when he got off. Strange behaviour supporting a doper unless of course you are doing it yourself.

 

Why are they not outraged?
