Baaisikilist Posted September 10, 2014 Share FWIW, this news broke (unofficially) the weekend before last. Wonder why it's taken so long to make an announcement. Ya, I'm certainly accustomed to a much shorter time frame... eddy, samuelp53 and Pure Savage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted September 10, 2014 Share They can punt that *** all they want but without testing every batch of every product for 250 products they can't guarantee diddly. That's the other sad issue in doping - Chad could have actually ingested something accidentally through cross contamination but thanks a brazillion other dopers we will assume the worst. According to Dischem that's what they do, and and a number of products at Dischem have the Informed Sport certification, which is a costly exercise. So it's certainly in place on a few products, I know that the L-Glutamine from Biogen (which is partly owned by Dischem) is certified by Informed Sport. All that said, can you or anyone here say with 100% absolute certainty that if you were to have blood taken or pee in a cup that nothing would come up?I know I couldn't, I'm (like many others I'm sure) putting a lot of trust in labelling and the produce I buy.Not saying that's the case with this guy, but the precedent has been set.

Brickleberry Posted September 10, 2014 Share Same product they nailed chilly boy for a few years back. Found in many supplements, mainly pre workout. Moses Venceslau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted September 10, 2014 Share I have a mate who was trying to raise funds for Chad to attend the 2014 World Champs as he was short of R25k. I wonder how those who contributed feel now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icycling Posted September 10, 2014 Share I have a mate who was trying to raise funds for Chad to attend the 2014 World Champs as he was short of R25k. I wonder how those who contributed feel now!Ask your mate to pass the funds raise over to those Vets who are all self funded going to World Track champs next month in Manchester. I sure all the RSA competitors going would appreciate a little help - let the funds be divided equally amongst all going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sad reality - I use 2 or 3 energy sources and a recovery product. I'm absolutely happy to say I have neve r pusposefully taken an illegal product but can't say for certain that every single product I've used has not been contaminated or used an alternate name for a product that sound totally legit. I buy all my stuff at Dischem so I hope they have their testing regime well sorted! TALUS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having competed against this Short guy, did you ever have any reason to doubt his recent performance? Was he performing better now than ever before, or were his gains just marginal?

Dirkitech Posted September 11, 2014 Share Easy: Know zip all about what's legal or not, walk into dischem, see label on product saying 'supercharge/accelerate/ignite your workout into the stratosphere yadda yadda', skim yislaaik, that sounds shweet, i'll try it, race moer off, wee in cup, BOOM....! I partly agree with you.Yes I would do that if I was not riding top leagues competitively.No, I wouldn't do that is I cycled top leagues competitively. I really don't see how you can inadvertently make such a 'mistake' when cycling at that level. Heck, I hear all these stories how the top athletes measure their lettuce by the bloody grams, so how much more strict are they when it comes to chemicals? bad chad.
