Doping with Vicks

[Witkop]

I have decided to "play fair" and read all the medicine/dope information. So I get a small flu that threatens to go into the chest. I grab for the old time medicine trusty VICKS, updated with honey and ginger.

 

But no wait lets check it on the dope list......

 

It is in blue with a (3) behind it. So I cross reference it an it is banned during competition for a small under of sports (running and cycling excluded).

 

Why?

 

Alcohol content.

 

So I check the label and our friends Proctor and Gamble simply fail to mention the substance anywhere on the label or documentation.

 

Talk about the drug companies playing fair.

 

Damn it if drugs free Sport wants to be even a little more helpful they should insist that the manufacturers place a label, notice or leaflette in the box indicating its suitability for sportspeople. If they can legislate it for cigarettes why can they not do the same for drugs

[Guest Oom Kalahari!]

Some of these substances marked as baned in sport is just ludicrous!

 

And on the flipside... yes... stuff should be marked! Getting DQ from a race cause you accidentally took some vicks wont be funny! (Though it would be a little funny)

You must eat it and then rub on your sack for the best results....you go like a rocket after that

So do you think that the pharmaceutical giants really care who Drug free SA are, when it could potentially affect their sales, for the sake of playing fair???

read his post: Alcohol Content. It also frees up your nasal passages, allowing you to breathe deeper and therefore push harder.

Replace vicks with deep heat and you have a classic high school initiation ritual

I saw the disclaimer when entering the crater cruise about usi rules and drug testing. will the fun riders be tested like they did with the guy (back marker) that rode the epic and got banned for doping

 

is this doping tests going to impact on "us fun riders" in future?

[Haro]

Say whaaaaat! Vicks banned? Cheese is rice! What next?

[RocknRolla]

only if you can bench twice your bodyweight.
