Adverse Analytical Finding – in-competition test

· By Press Office · 239 comments

Cycling South Africa reports that veteran cyclist Hendrik Anderson (licence number: 14407) returned an adverse analytical finding in an in-competition test conducted by the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) on 25 October 2013 at the Cape Pioneer MTB event.

The analytical report confirmed the presence of the stimulant Phentermine in Hendrik Anderson’s urine sample. Following the hearing which was conducted by an Independent Tribunal on 29 May 2014, Mr. Anderson was found guilty and has received a two year ban from all sport effective from 28 January 2014 to 27 January 2016. Mr. Anderson has the right to appeal the decision.

Cycling South Africa respects the independence of the SAIDS process and respects 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 programmes and extensive testing.

Personally i wish they would have such a strong stance on some of the other sports...the way substances are being abused in rugby from a schoolboy level is scary!

"It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk due to their weight"

I think that SAIDS and cycling SA should spend more of their budget targeting professional cycling where sponsors and prize money is at stake. This is a waste of time. Was probably an old ballie trying to lose weight.

All good for weight loss.

 

Common (>1% incidence) adverse effects include:

  • Xerostomia (dry mouth) - makes you thirsty and you have another tablet with water, lose more weight.
  • Restlessness - toss and turn and keep burning calories.
  • Nervousness - get so nervous you run for the hills, more calories burnt .
  • Euphoria - Makes you jump around with excitement, calories consumed again.
  • Agitation - Do I need to explain how good it is for burning calories ?
  • Arrhythmia - One small risk, massive weight loss, it's a gamble.
  • Tachycardia - Will at least get you out the blocks quick.
  • Hypertension - Great fat burner.
  • Diarrhea - K@k daai vet weg.
  • Vomiting - Spoeg daai vet uit.
  • Headache - Forces rest and with that no food to mouth.
  • Rash - The more you scratch, the more calories you burn.
  • Urinary frequency - yes , water retention is a real beeyatch.
  • Facial oedema - Can get you a job as Alvin in the next chipmunk flick.
  • Unpleasant taste - Eat less and weigh less.
  • Urticaria - The more you scratch, the more you lose.
  • Impotence - Who needs sex when you look good and can ride in elite bunch.
  • Changes in libido - more time for long rides.

Am I the only one who sees no issue here ?
