2 things things that I have noticed with all the extra additives that sports people are taking as reported in the media

1) That doctor that gave lance all his pep for racing, he has admitted to helping other sports, and mainly in Spain, which leads to the question who was he helping, it should be people that have been hitting above their weight....

Nadal comes to mind (but the left hand advantage could explain this) but his form has dropped right off and has long term injurys (maybe from pep pills and training)

Maybe footballers....

2) And with that marathon runner that died, I check Amazon reviews over these sports mixers and some are in effect legal highs to some extent, as they are really clean living they don't know what it feels like to ready to go clubbing........ but enjoy the extra focus, sometimes this is a lunch time workout, and hopefully they are not driving

    Yes, thanks for asking. My knee hurts and I think I might have piles.

    What did i just read?
  • I think the OP was asking a question that as the main sports doping ring appears to have been centred in Spain, are there any Spanish sports stars that might be implicated?

    The answer is that we will probably never know. If they haven't been linked to Ferrari through documented evidence or if they haven't failed a drugs test then it is just speculation.

    I assume most pro sports are endemic with peds. I don't think it will ever be eradicated considering the financial/social gain.

    Best thing to do is ignore pro sports and enjoy having a go yourself clean, for health/pleasure.

    well that was the second point amateurs:

    they are using additives such as JACK-3D (had never heard of these things until that marathon runner died) they contain a small amount of some kind of legal high in them and the reviews sound like pillreports.com (a web site for clubbers)

    but these chemicals are more dangerous than illegal highs and are being taken regular (more regularly than pills for example) by people who do not know that they are high and could even get in a car and drive........ (feel safe on the road now?)

    and as with that marathon runner she was very "anti drugs" but used the stuff to try and get a sub 4hr marathon, just like the pro's..... just that little extra

    but if she knew what club drugs felt like she would have been aware that such things as jack-3D have the same effect and would be aware that running 26 miles on it would be a bad idea

    but it seems that I was wrong, enjoy your untested (within a clinical setting) drugs and hope you don't drop dead or drive............
  • Why the fark are you asking this in the crudcatcher? WHF is it even doing in the MTB section at all?

    Sheepsteeths mum has been taking these for years and she's fine (well, apart from the hairy palms and hideously disfigured child).

    Add to that the fact that you don't really make much sense. I get what you meant but it's written really badly . C for effort, D- for execution

    On the one hand, I could move this to the Roadies Banging On About Drugs As If Anyone Cared forum. But on the other it seems to be turning into a proper crudcatcher post. The moderator's dilemma.

    but think of the Horror for some of the above poster if they found they had then been "seen" as posting in the other part of the forum!
