Adverse analytical finding in recent mountain bike stage race

[Gerhardc]

Perhaps a bit of tactical nous from the Epic testing team. "Guys, lets pop this gym bunny backmarker with a 'random' sample, and we can send a message to the whole field that we are serious about this drugs thing".

 

My thoughts exactly.....he had a target on his back!

A Wiggo replica jersey?

What an idiot. It's bad enough when podium contenders think they can get away with it, now the backmarkers are doing the same. It's pathetic.

 

Whoa there! He probably did not even know whatever he was using contained an illegal substance according to the UCI. How many of the Cape Epic entrants have any idea what they may use. Professional cyclists has somebody checking that for them. A mid-pack guy does not. Why the hell would the UCI want to test a cyclist that is nowhere in contention for a place on the podium.

Maybe his tattoos were mistaken for a target??

But, but, then they would've targetted the celeb rugger players too, no?

 

No they are celebs !

Sorry, should have used the sarcasm font...

I would imagine so.

I know someone who also tested positive riding for SA overseas and innocently took some supplements which by accident made this person test positive . Was told by Sylvia Dale not to do a thing- Next moment name is splashed all over the papers with no chance to prove innocence- Pathetic wankers (SAC)

Sounds typical of our sport's admin.

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???

 

That does sound wrong - like the time I found out that jake white hadn't picked me for the world cup I read about it first in the sunday times.

 

[assumptions] This oke is a standard gym bunny who takes loads of supplements every day. Being tested at the epic would mean he must have known there was a good chance of coming up with a positive. [/assumptions]

 

 

for the record, bioplus is kosher.

No way, damnit Barry, been telling you for years to get off the juice - what's wrong with you??

 

by the way who is Barry Warmback?

 

I TOLD him also not to have that second helping of steak!!!

 

By the way...who is Barry Warmbrak??

 

If he did not make podium...who cares??

[rock]

kind of smacks of the Epic trying to PR how good they are at catching cheats, wonder if they are that concerned with catching the fast guys who make the racing what it is?

Still only meds.

Will be a good tool if you can type in a supplement.
