It clearly does not comply with the WADA drug testing policies.

Can we be sure that anyone taking part in SCR is clean?

    Salbutamol and formoterol (in my asthma inhalers) are on the WADA banned list, I think.

    They are but if you've a prescription you'll be ok up to a certain dose. Petacchi got a ban a couple of years back for inhaling too much...

    Caffeine was once on the banned list but no longer. Good job, too

    You just need a SCR TUE, that way you'll be like 50% of the pro peleton!

    I'm dosed up on salbutamol and insulin, if I ever start racing properly i may need to get a TUE - not sure they do them retrospectively (unless you're called Lance...)

    Well, in the sense, that without it one tends to run a little short of oxygen. Thankfully haven't needed any for years.

    That's what I would have said up until August. I hadn't had an inhaler for more than 25 years, then all of a sudden my childhood asthma came back with a vengeance. All for no apparent reason. :(

    And you should have pretty good air quality in Morecambe I'd have thought. :?

    As far as I know, yes. But I think my trigger is primarily exercise and cold, damp air. The air here always seems to be pretty damp, especially as the first 2 miles of my route is alongside the river.

    Know how that feels. Used to find that trying to go up a hill about 0.6 miles from the house on the morning commute on a cold morning triggered it.

    I started using a buff over my mouth while my lungs warmed up and it worked a treat.

    If I put a Buff over my mouth, I find my goggles steam up. :D

    Maybe I just need more expensive, anti-misting shades. I don't need glasses to see, but I prefer to wear something simply to keep the cold air and random road grit out of my eyes.

    No. A new bike will do the trick.

    I go for clear UVEX frames. They seem to work.

    I've never understood why cannabis is a banned substance in sport.
    Its hardly performance enhancing (so I've been told)!
