Fair point, I can imagine someone taking some kind of flu remedy, or even just painkillers with a lot of caffeine or somesuch, which would actually throw up a positive result.Northwind wrote:Thing is that at the lower levels of sport, there isn't the medical advice that high level pros get so the riders don't have that much guidance on what they have to avoid. Wouldn't be too hard to innocently screw up.
A masking agent, however, is pretty specific, no? I can't imagine that any over-the-counter stuff has any masking properties.0 -
I asked my mate Lance and just about all diuretics are banned as masking agents... No idea what conditions would legitimately require those, that wouldn't pretty much put you out of high level sport anyway, mind. I suppose you get diuretic effects from some foods, maybe he ate a lot of meringues.Uncompromising extremist0

Why would you make such an assumption on such a small amount of info ? You must be ace at evreything, how tedious. :roll:
Man, your trolling sucks my mums balls.
I think you've had a lot of practice at it.
...Sucking balls, that is.

Quite a friendly lot in here, nice and welcoming. I'm off back to the darkside.
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast...0 -
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Agree on the punishment being ridiculous, why not just let him off if they thought it was an innocent mistake, been better than a meaningless sanction IMO.0 -
from the little i recall since my brother's competitive days, diuretics can be used to reduce body fluids in the hope of getting into a lower weight class. There's no weight classes in cycling, but i can imagine that some might try and reduce their bodyweight. Dehydrating yourself before riding a bike seems stupid though.Northwind wrote:I asked my mate Lance and just about all diuretics are banned as masking agents...

I vaguely recall that diuretics are also banned, because of some link.with excessive caffeine intake.0 -
depends if not taking the diuretic would mean you get caught....
If it was a mistake then surely it would have been better just to say so. It happened with Christope Bassons (of all people) at the French Marathon Champs too where he missed a test becasue he did nt finish the race and then went home. Strict Liability sucks, but it's really the only option!We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

OK - the doping issue. Normally you use a nitro based compound. For road bikes where weight is important you need to use a LEACHING nitro compound - this will penetrate the molecular structure of the frame. To Prep the frame - you seal all the welding holes, drain holes and bar ends, Get the Nitro compound - in this case Nitroglycering and carefully fill the frame with it. To prevent polymer cross linking you need to agitate the compound - just go down a cobble street - or run over your dog.
So we are not unwelcoming - you can stay here forever and your avatar is wonderfully suited to your conversion to the brotherhood of MTB. (Do you have any pics of your sisters breasts?) (minge?)0 -
ooo we rim mashing a roady?0

Shane Warne the cricketist maybe? Dunno.0

Seriously?
The greatest spin bowler the world has seen. Over 700 Test wickets.
You tube Search Gatting bowled round legs, not that you'd appreciate it.0 -
Yes seriously. Cricket? Who the flinking blip watches cricket? People who can't handle any more of the enthralling spectacle of solvents evaporating from paint, leaving a dry to the touch residue of coloured substance, so decide instead they need a more sedate viewing experience to calm their nerves?
doesn't even sound like a good cricketist if he got banned for drugs. He was probably on valium, so he could keep it together in the low risk world of standing in a field.
anyway, i digress, was he or was he not the singist bloke on the x-factor? Did he have to do that because he failed a wicket test or something?0 -

Was not. That was dustbin man Shane I think. Not heard from him in a long time. Thankfuckforthat.0 -
Nah, Andy was the bin man IIRC, no idea what Shane's doing, he was in that 'Rock of Ages' show with Justin Lee-Collins a few months back according to a big billboard I ride past.
Unless he got into drugs and cricket.0 -

Or mashing up crickets and taking them intravenously. I imagine that would offer some sort of hallucinogenic properties.0

Now there's a complex business plan. Sell crank to crickets, then grind them up to make drugs for cricket playing cricketeers.
it's the crank cricket, cricket cricketeer racket.0 -

Keep up, we know exactly who he is now, we're designing intricate business plans for elaborate insect based narcotic schemes.0
