Adverse analytical finding in recent mountain bike stage race

[DIPSLICK]

Ah that is some funny shyte right there.

 

Random testing in non pro events is just a waste of time, money and resources.

 

Test the winners and leave the random tests to races with only pros I say.

AND THATS FROM MR DRUG FREE, I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG TILL I SEE YOU HERE?? HOW CRAZY IS THIS???

Epic ban?

 

Eish.....

Stanozolol, commonly sold under the name Winstrol (oral) and Winstrol Depot (intramuscular), is a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. It was developed by Winthrop Laboratories (Sterling Drug) in 1962, and has been approved by the FDA for human use.

Unlike most injectable anabolic steroids, stanozolol is not esterified and is sold as an aqueous suspension, or in oral tablet form. The drug has a high oral bioavailability, due to a C17 a-alkylation which allows the hormone to survive first-pass liver metabolism when ingested. It is because of this that stanozolol is also sold in tablet form.

Stanozolol has been used in both animal and human patients for a number of conditions. In humans, it has been demonstrated to be successful in treating anaemia and hereditary angioedema. Veterinarians may prescribe the drug to improve muscle growth, red blood cell production, increase bone density and stimulate the appetite of debilitated or weakened animals.

LIKE I SAID BIOPLUS :whistling:

This is really a bit silly but is actually a big problem for the dude. The problem is that when you sign up to do the Epic you agree to the rules which include no use of banned sporting substances. Most of us take whatever the Doc prescribes for us without thinking, I suppose he should have told the doc or pharmacist that he was partaking in the Epic and that he needs a TUE or an alternative. Crazy days!

Ride It | Anti-Doping

The Absa Cape Epic conforms to the World Anti-Doping Code as laid out by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and works with the UCI and the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport to ensure the Code is properly implemented at the race and amongst cyclists in South Africa. Stringent and comprehensive doping control is conducted at the race by the UCI and the Institute.

 

Any athlete (professional or amateur) sanctioned by their federation or national anti-doping authority (NADA) for use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) after 1 January 2013, whether at another event or out of competition, will be banned for life from participating in the Absa Cape Epic. Not only will the person not be allowed to participate (as an amateur rider or UCI- licensed elite), but the individual will also be banned from being involved on any level including as a team manager.

As is stipulated in the race rules, the organisers reserve the right to test all participants and therefore, per the WADA Code, the onus is on the athlete to check that any substances or methods used do not appear on WADA's current List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.

Medal taken away and a ban for what is most likely an innocent mistake.

Just spoke to a Mate of Barry, CSA have posted this "named" release without even notifying the athlete himself... He is dumbstruck. Surely the athlete must be notified first???
