Wyatt Earp Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Gooseflesh is from pseudo ephedrine ... a hubber got busted for that a few years ago? The most common one of the lot EPO is not the only performance enhancing drug available to man.
rattlesnake Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I wonder.... given the hype and controversy surrounding the sport and doping right now, due to Lance etc, is there a chance that CSA and the anti doping authority might launch an investigation into doping in SA cycling, some sort of a Truth and Recon committee? - DG tells all??? EDIT - I mean lets face it, DG surely isnt the only one doping... Edited November 7, 2012 by rattlesnake
Lucky Fish Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I see now, the gooseflesh syndrome is not necessarily fro EPO ,it's a common sign to look out for though. From Wikipedia: -Johan van der Velde of the Netherlands undertook hospital treatment for his addiction to amphetamines at the end of his career. He said in an interview with the author Jan Siebelink ("Pijn is genot") that he had trouble coping when that success began to dry up. Van der Velde said he remembered shivering at the start of an Italian race, the skin of his arms wrinkled in goosebumps, because of the amphetamine he had taken just to start. He was also disqualified from the 1981 Liège–Bastogne–Liège race. Wyatt Earp and Nettie R 2

EDIT - I mean lets face it, DG surely isnt the only one doping... Like the UCI, our own CAS has a lot to answer for.So this sort of investigation should start from the top. And all our local pro's who have been so vocal on Twitter lately?I wonder how many pots are calling the kettle, black...

Icycling Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 is recreational drugs really common amongst professional people? Maybe i'm just blind but I've never come across friends or colleagues that are involved with drugs. We just often drink too much, that's all Drinking is also a drug! The last time I looked alcohol was on the banned list. Drinking and driving / cycling is also illegal. Meezo 1
duringd Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 USN TERMINATES ASSOCIATION WITH DAVID GEORGE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT Surely they didn't think DG was that good just purely from riding on their products?! It's amazing how quick everybody runs away, as if they never suspected.......
Tumbleweed Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 This reads more like an advertisement than a press release... Unlike a response to another critique of their products…
MTB_Roadie Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 This reads more like an advertisement than a press release... Could not agree more.... It should have stopped here: Following the announcement yesterday by the South African Institute for Drug-free Sport that Nedbank 360Life’s David George has tested positive for the banned substance, EPO and George’s subsequent admission of guilt, USN has, with immediate effect, terminated its association with the professional cyclist... But then they carry on about their product.
(Deon) Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 This reads more like an advertisement than a press release... It is their 'window of opportunity'.. Just keep kicking USN, you will be squeaky clean in comparison soon.

TriGuru76 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) For as long as there is big money to be made, there will be guys like DG looking for an easy pay day.Bring back the days when athletes were racing for glory and a trophy. Its like the rugby and cricket players getting paid millions for running after a ball.GET A REAL JOB. Doping is inevitable when you see the $$$$ signs. 99% of us can work a hard day behind a desk and do the sport for enjoyment. So should they.Sponsors should put that money into hosting awesome events rather than into athletes and prize money.They will still get the exposure they are looking for!
