Konaman Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I feel that the doctor or pharmacist involved with the EPO scandal should be identified by the hawks, and then named and shamed by losing their medical registration to practice in SA. We don't need these guys on the street to embarrass cycling or SA, or to feed our kids with enhancement drugs.What happened to those doctors involved with Lance (Dr Ferrari) , should also happen here.I beg the minister of Sport and Health to get the Hawks to do a full investigation from A to Z to clean up cycling, by making examples of these "medical drug lords".Using enhancement drugs makes a person a fraudster and a cheat, and we should have zero tolerance!What do you think? dracs, V12man and tombeej 3
Agteros Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Who says it wasn't obtained overseas and came in "on the sly"?
BigGuy Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Interesting read on Cyclingnews regarding the makers of these drugs and how they manage their sales through rebates, kick-backs and buy-10-receive-2-free mentality. Nothing different from selling potato chips.
NotSoBigBen Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Ah so now it's the doctor/pharmacists fault the rider took EPO? Just wondering .... Agteros 1

Joe Low Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 It's only the small, fake sport of pro-cycling. I dont see why anybody official would be the slightest bit interested.
Konaman Posted November 7, 2012 Author Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Ah so now it's the doctor/pharmacists fault the rider took EPO? Just wondering .... But why do they break the laws? We need to establish how it was obtained, and who is prepared to ignore medicine laws to the detriment of cycling and society as a whole. Any bad apples must be removed before more lives are destroyed! Edited November 7, 2012 by Konaman (Deon) 1
(Deon) Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Konaman, it probably won't end but if the supplier can operate without the fear of facing a heavy sentence if caught, then what is the point of trying to regulate the sport. IMO it is a two fold problem, supply AND demand.
rudi-h Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Edit: forgot to quote NotSoBigBen: "Ah so now it's the doctor/pharmacists fault the rider took EPO? Just wondering ...."  A doctor is an accountable person and by definition is bound by a code of conduct. The same reason why its worse if a police officer or a laywer is charged with a crime. A pro bike rider is just an ordinary guy that happens to be good at riding a bike. It doesn't make the bike rider "innocent" by any means. But I agree that if we can make the risk too high for doctors to prescribe this stuff, then it should not be so easy for a bike rider to get it. Edited November 7, 2012 by rudi-h
flymango Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 it's like prostitution. Supply and demand. Both guilty in my opinion.
flymango Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 is there a facepalm smiley yet? It does take two to tango, not?
