    I think we need to start a service for these poor elite athletes who seem to have more athletic ability than intellectual capability and start a thread called something like "Are my drugs banned?". And then us more astute laymen types can assist them in reading the enclosed leaflet and googling the active ingredients and matching it to banned substances. We can extend this service to SAIDS as well, who, although it was allegedly declared to them a number of times, seemed to be unable to determine whether Adco-Retic contains banned substances or not. Quite embarrassing for all parties involved.

    Ag please give me a break. In the context of doping, what I am saying is that being sick, pretending to be sick, having, or pretending to have some kind of a 'chronic' ailment is NOT an excuse for taking banned substances, nor is the ignorance thereof a valid excuse.

    You need to look at this in the context of doping and cheating. So
  4. Edition 507
    This doping stuff is pretty simple. 1. If you take stuff that makes you go faster, you are cheating! 2. If you take stuff and it makes no difference, you are wasting your money. 3. If you are sick and on meds then stay in bed. 4. If you are on chronic meds get a TUE. 5. If you don’t know what it is you are taking, don’t take it. 6. If you purchase it in an alley way or do a cash deal with someone in their car who looks like the incredible hulk and is wearing a World Gym vest, it is dope! Basically if anyone takes stuff because they think it makes then go faster, then they are actually trying to cheat.

    Sure eddy, with you on that, I'm just saying that certain drugs have a negative impact on some sports, so you need to look at the context of the sport i.e. beta blockers and cycling is not good, but beta blockers for target shooting would be advantages. Likewise diuretics for cycling don't make sense, but in the context of a masking agent, then it does make sense.
  6. Edition 507
    You are absolutely correct! I am no doctor either but it seems logical that diuretics and meds like beta blockers would negatively impact physical performance. So I google it and guess what: "Exercise performance is impaired when an individual is dehydrated by as little as 2% of body weight. Losses in excess of 5% of body weight can decrease the capacity for work by about 30% (Armstrong et al. 1985; Craig and Cummings 1966; Maughan 1991; Sawka and Pandolf 1990)."

    There are other ways to control high blood pressure besides diuretics. Really awful coincidence that the meds used by this top cyclist are on the WADA banned list. Guilty or really f**ken stupid are the only two conclusions I can come to.

    Well, it's not a bike, but it is still part of my On One collection

    Thanks for the tip, I have considered this with other bottle cages but the one i have now has never lost anything, it is a Lezyne, and I have to put in quite a bit of effort to get the bottle in and out!

    No intention to troll Pyga. I would love a Pyga myself but, alas, I have to settle for a budget bike that was on a 'clearance special' I was actually trolling Jules as he is known for riding bikes with great vigor and robustness, which can be tough on equipment.
  15. Edition 507
    Hey bra you broke the fork and the front hub in your first race. That's pure hooliganism! I have a good mind to tell your mother on you.
  16. Edition 507
    So Jules broke the Pyga in his first race
  17. Edition 507
    They couldn't have got a better ambassador for their brand than bra Jules

    This bike is so fast they have to go to a race track to test it

    This is the perfect lure to increase al-Qaeda Westerner hostage stock seeing as they did lose two this week.
