You don't need to know the detailed ingredients of your medication and you don't need a Doctor to help.

Call yourself doper if you like but your scenarios are not the same as doping.

Doping is intent to cheat

Medicating yourself for quality of life or survival is NOT doping no matter how black and white people wish to paint it

 

 

Why are the scenarios not the same? It is against the anti-doping rules.

O Grady had to withdraw from a TdF for using a cortizone cream administered by the race doctor during a stage from the medical vehicle after a bee sting. (Lets ignore his much later confession for other infractions) 

 

As for part two: Medicating for quality of life or survival is not an offence, agreed. Competing at any level in a sanctioned event with prohibited substances is a doping offence. Which is sanctionable if your are caught.

Corenza-C Effervescent Tablets PERMITTED but

Corenza Cold & Flu Syrup PROHIBITED

I did not know that. Unknowingly dodged a bullet. Can proudly say that CTCT Mighty Group 5E is clean for my part

I'm just replying so as to repeat this post... because there are a few people on here that think the Oom shouldn't be allowed to ride his 7hour Cycle Challenge because he is a doper. :D :D :D

 

The 60 yr old Oom and Brandon Stewart are two peas in a pod

 

Filthy filthy cheats everywhere :clap:

Ban oom for life... or ten years, whichever comes first.

Ban oom for life... or ten years, whichever comes first.

 

And claim back all his race packs and free energy samples...

 

We need to be decisive and stamp out this doping disease in the 7hour autobus club, else how will our Pro's ever learn to ride clean!

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has alerted the Absa Cape Epic to an adverse analytical finding from a sample provided by rider Yolande De Villiers during the 2015 event. The analytical report was one of three that confirmed the presence of hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic) in her sample. As a result De Villiers was sanctioned with a period of ineligibility of 11 months from 31 January 2015 – 30 December 2015.

Someone who would like to do the Epic should tweet the sponsors to say you are available to ride :P No point in an entry going to waste.

checked all my meds and i can say i am not a doper! But i didn't find anything on my dogs bob martins i sometimes take.

Careful with the Bob Martins. I once used it as a desperate cure for a babelaas. I only ended up chasing buses and licking my own balls.

So just something I have been pondering .... what is everyone's feeling about the moral/ethical issues around using something that is currently not on the banned list but gives a performance enhancement and no test exists yet? I mean there have been rumors going around of some new 'cancer drug' or HGH or something?

 

And then when eventually it is found and starts being tested for in 5 years or whatever must bans/restitution then be applied retroactively?

The same can be said for Kevin Evans & Brandon Stewart and any other athlete that mess up their TUE applications.

 

Assuming everybody is innocent ( :devil: ) one can only hope that the penny starts to drop at some stage for pro cyclists that getting banned for not getting their TUE's right will have a far bigger impact on their careers than some "pressure from sponsors to race".
