stringbean Posted March 17, 2014 Share Too lazy to read the hole thread but pretty sure there are different rules for different people.Remember a few years ago when Sauser got caught illegally riding in Lourensford and was escorted off the estate?Epic didn't impose their rues on him then.

DJ84 Posted March 17, 2014 Share So this is the case, I am a rider and would love to do the epic and I cannot because I have a condition that I will be treated for for the foreseeable future. I have no choice in not taking the meds. There is only one type of medicine that I can take(there is NO alternative), but I cannot ride the epic because this is a banned substance.Sometimes life is unfair, sometime its people that make life unfair. In this case I think the latter is the case.

davem Posted March 17, 2014 Share Under the rules, any of those who have taken the strongest drugs under Dr Ferrari et al prior to 2013, and are most worthy of a life time ban, but who have served their two or four year penalty, can race. But an oke who gets three months for smoking a joint with no performance enhancing benefits cannot. Not so consistent IMHO.

DJ84 Posted March 17, 2014 Share No you can apply for a TUE! No I cannot,It is a banned substance (not cough Syrup). Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/137270-two-riders-out-of-absa-cape-epic-due-to-doping/page/6/#findComment-2242193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted March 17, 2014 Share No I cannot,It is a banned substance (not cough Syrup). TUE + Therapeutic Use Exemption It means that if your doctor prescribe a drug, even a banned one, for legitimate treatment of a diagnosed condition, you apply for an exemption and it will be granted if it is legitimate. So, yes, you can!

So, yes, you can! From what I understand,no matter what the condition certain treatments(medications) are not allowed to compete/partake even if you apply for a TUE as they provide a performance benefit.My doctor is an avid cyclist and he told me I would not be allowed to participate in certain events due to my medication. What I take can alter my testosterone and GH levels (not that it has unfortunately) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/137270-two-riders-out-of-absa-cape-epic-due-to-doping/page/6/#findComment-2242262 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLuvsMtb Posted March 17, 2014 Share  Why does it matter to you...?Because without names or at least what was found and how / where it was found it only creates panic, uncertainty and overreaction. Why release a (deliberately?) vague statement and leave everyone wondering?
