Barend de Arend Posted March 14, 2014 Share So a "funrider" can now be busted for taking cough syrup?....how do a funrider apply for exemption when they are using something that the doctor ordered? Read the TUE rules. Speak to your doctor when you get a prescription. TUE will not be automatically granted. If you are too sick to ride without the syrup, maybe you shouldn't ride.

FBSP Posted March 14, 2014 Share If you are competing in an event it's your responsibility to know the WADA banned substances. Don't plead nativity this is 2014 and with cycling's doping history be sure of what you are given is not a PED...simple really. If you are stupid...don't do races. If you're a cheat you will get caught.

jcza Posted March 14, 2014 Share Download the app to check medsRead & understand the rules for TUE IMO they should test all podium finishers in Elites and winners in other categories and random other podium finishers.

Stretch Posted March 14, 2014 Share Mtbbaiskelist (sp) got busted after last years epic. He admitted to taking anabolics months before when he was a weight lifter. He was a back marker but got quite a nasty fine and ban.. Whatever happened with that?

Lefty V Posted March 14, 2014 Share I clearly have less appreciation for these things since i was too busy worrying about having fun on my mtb instead of taking notice of doping...had to google things like WADA, TUE (which I took to be the day on which you were allowed to dope) and PED since it occured to me that I have never had any qualms about taking meds like pseudoephedrine to clear up my chronic sinus and phlegm and to stop it from turning into an ear infection... never knew it but I must be both stupid and and evil cheat....

Bat Posted March 14, 2014 Share So "SwissVan" when were you appointed the official health police inforser seeing that now no rider with suspected healh issues are even allowed to participate in rides. So apart from asking riders to be tested for performance boosters, we are now also going to do test for being over weight, under weight, if you had a burger or beer the night before, or heaven forbid, a smoke! Maybe you and KV just want to make a name for yourselfs?

Tankman Posted March 15, 2014 Share The aritcle said the one guy tested positive in May 2013 ... when did they receive this ban from the Epic, a week before the start? Bloody outrageous! Ag well, that just bumbped us up two places!

Frosty Posted March 15, 2014 Share I don't see Brandon Stewart's name being tossed around on the hub, despite him losing his appeal against using testosterone - he gets paid to ride. According to the 2012/13 SAID annual report, there was a mountain biker tested on 18 March 2013 but it still shows as an OPEN status.

Tankman Posted March 15, 2014 Share The chances of these two being middle of the pack fun riders are pretty slim. How often does funriders get tested? Never!! Ok except if you look as pumped up as Mtbbaiskelist. My guess would be that this has to be someone good enough to be in contention for some category local ... Elite, Sub Vet, Vet or Master.

Tankman Posted March 15, 2014 Share I don't see Brandon Stewart's name being tossed around on the hub, despite him losing his appeal against using testosterone - he gets paid to ride. Not from what I heard, he doesnt get paid anymore. He withdrew himself from the team and is no longer a licenced rider. (Disclaimer: I have no facts to back this up, 100% hearsay) If you dont ride for a team, dont get paid and dont have a licence, you are like the rest of us, for all intended purposes, a funrider.
