Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted September 1, 2006 Share AS Lance said before " I was tested many times, and was never tested positive"...(but between the lines, he did not mentioned that the medical testing "science" was way behind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Posted September 1, 2006 Share Guys, this is the way I look at it... A rider would have already made his mind up as to whether or not he is going to take something before he comes to me. He probably would have spoken to many other riders who are doing the same thing before he contacts me. I would at least let him in on the little that I do know. Rather than him going overboard and do serious damage, is it not wise to get some info on the subject and do some homework. The first 2 hings I say to anyone is that its not going to turn a donkey into a racehorse, and the old saying ' more is better ' definately does not apply when it comes to this. I have had many riders stear away from drugs after talking to me. Its a serious decision to make, and if its not done 100% its not worth it. As far as drugs and racing for south Africa is concerned, do some investigation, most of the guys who have raced for SA have tested positive ?????

Ricycle Posted September 1, 2006 Share Popeye, either way, he was selected so he must have been good. Actually I was there at the time and I know he was good.I agree with what Chunky says in his last post and I also know how difficult it is for those who want to do well but realise that they cannot compete against the guys who are taking stuff - I am NOT saying it is right, but it is a personal choice.

Gift Posted September 2, 2006 Share Chunkster, Thanks for the cell number. I will give you a call on Tuesday. Monday, unfortunately to busy. I'll only get back home at base after nine. One more question?  Did you ever receive or received money (boodle, cash, note) for the so-called info you gave?    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Posted September 4, 2006 Share nope. Watching the guy raise his game was reward enough for me. Like I said, I find this whole thing a big joke. To put it in perspective and show you just how out of touch theses guys are, let me tell you a story about something that happened this weekend. A friend of mine who last year was on a pro team stopped racing at the end of last year. He sent the federation a letter stating that he is no longer racing. He didnt take out a racing licence for 2006. He hasnt even been on a bike since 94.7 last year. Yesterday the IDFS rocked up at his house to do an out of season drug test. Highlited on the form was EPO. They said they had been given his name by CSA. Another rider who is currently on a pro team, and having won races lately has not been tested once this year. He even commented about SA champs where there was no testing done. Now, my thought on this subject is are they actually trying to catch anyone. How can the Federation or IDFS be so stupid as to test a retired rider who has put on 10kg's and not a rider winnng races. This just proves to me that the people trying to catch the riders are a bunch of idiots. I was at a track meeting in cape town and was drug tested there. Just for a joke I told the testing officer who was a doctor hat I was taking a well known brand of EPO. This guy didnt even react to what I said. Now, either he doesnt have a clue as to what is going on, or he is just there to collect his pay cheque for testing riders and is not at all interested. If the system is so backward, wy blame the riders for taking a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windbreaker Posted September 4, 2006 Share  If the system is so backward' date=' wy blame the riders for taking a chance. [/quote'] a) Because it is cheatingb) Because it is dangerousc) Because it is illegald) Because IT WILL continue to damage the sport.Oh but I forgot it helps some riders "lift their game". They are not lifting their game the drugs are! I can understand why it happens - "because everyone else does it so I have to ... ". But when everyone accepts that it is wrong and that it is cheating and is unacceptable (including you) then maybe everyone else won't feel that they want to or have to cheat either.
