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.

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.

No you can apply for a TUE!

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.

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!

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)

Why don't you apply for the TUE and see where the process gets you.

We need names dammit.... who are these mystery men!!!

 

Why does it matter to you...?

Wanna check out their Facebook profile n post pics of them here...?

Take off the hood, put the pitchfork back in the shed and the matches back in the drawer.

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?
