GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I saw a piece in the newspaper here on Monday or Tuesday, where they asked Khalid Galant of the institute of drug free sport about it. He said he was unaware of any sport supplement containing probenecid and "as far as he is aware" it is a stand alone prescription drug. When asked if an athlete could take Probenecid without knowing, he replied "I am not sure" Can one take a prescription drug without knowing? Not looking too good in my opinion.
gtr1 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 contaminated supplements took down our Springbok team - chilliboy and bjorn basson were the two unlucky ones who had to pee in the cup. The supplier seems to have got away ok with it, maybe some more serious stuff behind the scenes http://www.rfu.com/thegame/antidoping/education/~/media/files/2011/the_game/anti%20doping/case%20study%20%20ralapelle%20%20basson%20%20supplements.ashxSeems like Chilliboy had the same supplement again :-(
Tumbleweed Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I think they call this the Omerta Omerta is a code of silence. People who've admitted to me that they doped - both in competition and for recreation - is hardly being silent on the matter when they say they believe Daryl is clean. dracs 1
Tumbleweed Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Yes, and they are all clean, so clean that they will sue you if you even suggest otherwise. Ps: Tumbles, when you say Daryl turned down recreational drugs from the boys. It reads like you mean he turned it down from the pro's you spoke too, which must be untrue. Some people need a course of PEDs. Others need a course of remedial reading. You don't need to infer something which is plainly stated. Like, duh. Edited July 10, 2014 by Tumbleweed HappyMartin 1

Cyclists who, based on their use of PEDS and recreational drugs, are perhaps not the most credible in any event. GaryvdM 1
TALUS Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) As much fun as it may be - I can't see much point in bashing each other here. The finding has been made. Due process will follow including explanations with a finding. None of that will change because of what is said here. I like debates because it brings points to the fore but pure handbags at 10 paces is counterproductive. Edited July 10, 2014 by TALUS Tumbleweed, Danger Dassie and Spoke101 3

Just because a cyclist admits, doesnt mean they'll rat out the others

90 Inch Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Contaminated supplements ? Maybe, but who still has the original containers, with enough left to have tested 6 months later ? I suspect that for many sporting codes like Rugby, Swimming, Tennis etc its an escape route, to sweep doping under the carpet. If it was a wide spread reality, supplement manufactures would be sued for loss of earnings and endorsements by all those testing positive.
rock Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 how exactly would a known masking agent all of a sardine end up in my favourite tub of big brand naartjie sports drink??? Gnarly and fandacious 2
Andrew Steer Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 http://www.timescolo...games-1.1197436In the Lion King they talk of the Circle of Life... This here is the circle of doping (shakes head) The situation is reminiscent of the controversy involving another Island athlete, triathlete Kelly Guest of Victoria, who was ejected from the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games for inadvertently ingesting the steroid nandrolone which he said must have been through the nutritional supplements he was taking. Guest, who was reinstated by the CCES in 2004, went on to a successful triathlon career and is now a hugely popular local youth coach.
Andrew Steer Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Seems like Chilliboy had the same supplement again :-(Shame man, he is just so, so unlucky! Poor rugby players getting tested twice a year... gtr1 1
DIPSLICK Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Shame man, he is just so, so unlucky! Poor rugby players getting tested twice a year...the last pic i saw of him, i wouldnt need a lab to confirm he is using, from chilly boy burger eating 110kg plus to a body of muscle,,,,its not higher grade
