Brogue Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Let's be fair, it is very plausible.I take medications and stuff at times and have no idea what might be in there that is a banned substance.Personally I will give that statement of his the benefit of the doubt. Aikonna Boss, I gave that Lance dude the benefit of the doubt 10rs ago and I've still got egg on my face. Gen, Carrera Roadie and fanievb 3
Wyatt Earp Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Aikonna Boss, I gave that Lance dude the benefit of the doubt 10rs ago and I've still got egg on my face. The more I am reading up about this drug and it's purpose, the more I feel that from my side at least, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Underachiever, gummibear, Mongoose! and 1 other 4
Gen Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 The more I am reading up about this drug and it's purpose, the more I feel that from my side at least, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Besides the use for Gout (which he would need a TUE hey ne? ) What else is it used for (besides as a masking agent) Carrera Roadie 1
Wyatt Earp Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Besides the use for Gout (which he would need a TUE hey ne? ) What else is it used for (besides as a masking agent) I think we explained it all quite nicely earlier today.
Gen Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I think we explained it all quite nicely earlier today. I'll go back and look for that post.
eddy Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 He hasn't been... I am sooo confused now. I read it on the hub and we know that even Gerry Nel has to submit to its authority
kent77 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Why are so many people surprised? Nearly every single sport whether professional or not has an element of doping. Clean sport ended a LOOOOOONG time ago. Every single top athlete in the world does some form or doping to assist with recovery or to boost performance or both. Accept it and move on.

Brogue Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 The more I am reading up about this drug and it's purpose, the more I feel that from my side at least, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. For me, blind patriotism and "benefit of the doubt" ends abruptly once the B results are confirmed. I want to believe, but I can't.
gummibear Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 The more I am reading up about this drug and it's purpose, the more I feel that from my side at least, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. I'd really like to give him the benefit of doubt on this.Hope his and cycling sake it was taken by accident/contamination.
nochain Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 The more I am reading up about this drug and it's purpose, the more I feel that from my side at least, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.I am with you on this one...hard for believe he would take such a big chance with something like that for nationals?? Wyatt Earp and Underachiever 2
kosmonooit Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 For me, blind patriotism and "benefit of the doubt" ends abruptly once the B results are confirmed. I want to believe, but I can't. B Result just confirms it was not contamination surely, he still could have inadvertently congested it somehow. Bat 1
Brogue Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 B Result just confirms it was not contamination surely, he still could have inadvertently congested it somehow. Of course, and once he's done the legwork to clear his name I'll start believing again. Till then, it's a NO from me.
carbon29er Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Extract from here http://coachsci.sdsu...56/rushall5.htm Probenecid is no longer used by dishonest athletes. Probenecid no longer can be used as a weapon for cheating. snip snipAs someone said above, we need to know the quantity found in his system to come to any conclusions, but this no longer seems an obvious drug of choice for a cheat.Replace cheat with stupid?
ThaStig Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Aikonna Boss, I gave that Lance dude the benefit of the doubt 10rs ago and I've still got egg on my face.Bra, I hate to tell you, thats not egg on your face...
Gen Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Aha.. okay.. I now see all the uses. Hey with both falls i had and had to get stitches the dr gave me stuff to take with my antibiotics. . Wonder if it was the same stuff. *runs to medicine cabinet* Went to check no not the same stuff.. checked anti doping lists.. I an okay not on list. . It is permitted. .. see is it so hard to check Edited July 2, 2014 by Gen Wyatt Earp 1
rudi-h Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I am with you on this one...hard for believe he would take such a big chance with something like that for nationals?? I like Impey and I really hope there's an valid explanation, but I'm not holding my breath. If I recall, about two years ago David George took EPO on the Cape Pioneer on the day that the stage finished on swartberg pass (with R100k prize money). One immediately asks yourself: How the hell did he think he wasn't going to get tested on after winning the biggest stage prize in SA MTB racing???? But clearly dopers don't think about the risks involved when they're on jooooce...
