Jenna-lee Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 I agree with you but it's difficult to seperate yourself form your sport. But I hear your point.
dirtrider Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 We all agree that if we don't have to give up a kidney and half a lung we would use a "drug" to make us go faster and further .
Slowbee Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Umm something else I saw at the Argus expo anti cramping stuff - is this not performance enhancing ??  I know of a mate who was DQ out of a triathlon cause he was tested, he had to much caffiene from to much coffee before the race !
Jenna-lee Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Interesting Harryn... not quite sure its a good idea tho
epoh Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008  nonono the drug companies should stick to the WADA guidelines. if they stick to the WADA guidelines and rules the playing field is leveled in any case.  Everyone has got the right and is allowed to pop a powerbar gel for example. If I am in a race and you are in the same race and I pop a powerbar gel and you dont and I attack you and I beat you because I popped a gel and you did not and ran out of energy it is your fault   Â
Jenna-lee Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Ok then Epoch so you are saying that If I take a drug and you dont and I win and you run dry, than its your fault...
dirtrider Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 WADA F#@k ? Where will we find this WADA stuff ?
epoh Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008  Ok then Epoch so you are saying that If I take a drug and you dont and I win and you run dry' date=' than its your fault... [/quote'] no, you said that. If you popped a drug that is on the banned list of substances you should be banned. Period. Some people argue on here that if you for example use energy gels - should that not be seen as a method of enhancing performance and be categorized in the same category as doping products? I am saying all the companies etc. should stick to whatever the WADA guidelines is. For example they have not banned energy gels that contains electrolytes etc. So everyone has the right to use energy gels that containa electrolytes and if you do not use it and the other riders are doing better than you as a result of you not using it it is your own fault because it is regarded as legal.  Â
Slowbee Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 people are spending to much money trying to find ways to hide taking the drugs - rather use the money to make them safe and besides they idea of those who want to compete on their own steam as opposed to those who want to take drugs is an awesome idea.....wonder what would happen to the Giro?Â

Slowbee Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I think I would be in about the E bunch judging by my argus time
