Performance enhancing substances among amateurs

[Acerunner]

Guys, I can understand the anger we all feel towards the shocking act of doping/cheating in sport...

HOWEVER, this thread would have long since died off with the same dull lines had Dope2Survive not given us insight into this tainted sport we so love.

As per the original post in this thread, this topic was meant to be a discussion on doping in the sport and not a topic to pass judgement and insults upon the person in question.

The idea of the thread was to expose the use of ped's among amateurs... Its happening.. Its not going to be pretty

64 anonymous requests for assistance? Post their names. I don't think it would be too tragic if 'Shrinking Winky' or 'Assos Maximus' are made public. Seems an even easier first step than naming real names.

Perhaps we can use this opportunity to get information into the issue at hand, amateur Vets doping, and not let's this deteriorate into yet another flame war.

 

Honestly who cares who he is, as he didn't achieve much by his own admission, are we just letting our own curiosity get the best of us?

 

I for one am more interested in knowing who is currently doing it, not really who did in the 90s (cause they all did) who supports them and how the hell we get to stop them!

THANK YOU! On the right track! This is the whole point of the thread, i wish everyone could just get it..

I stumbled upon this in BigBen's sig, I think it perfectly sums up the reactions caused by this thread. Weather you are, or were a doper, or are vehemently opposed to it, it all boils down to this:

 

"Self-importance is man's greatest enemy. What weakens him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men. Self-importance requires that one spend most of one's life offended by something or someone."

Unfortunately, self-importance leads to self-impotence. And then you need a PED, or you spend a lot of time angry, frustrated and doing nothing.

I know one thing. I race Vets and I sure as hell will never do myself the injustice of trying to be something I'm not. I race clean and If I still beat you with your opkikkers, then you better be ashamed, no wonder they don't want to get ousted.

Not sure where I saw it, but there are schools that will not play other schools anymore at rugby simply cos they are terrified of injuries. And you don't need to get them from a doctor. And that is the very age where you really don't want them to take the stuff.

Using serious performance enhancing substances (the type that affects your physiological setup on a systemic and hormonal level) is similar to using tin foil to bypass a blown fuse..........it looks impressive, is easy, cheap and delivers very quickly the desired result.........but ultimately you are going to get burned. 

 

Amazing what the "performance at all costs" drive/stress will have people doing.........including children. Even something as simple as vitamins taken in huge amounts (hypervitaminosis) can have negative effects. The strange thing is people are aware of the potential negative impacts.......but the ego is stronger.

.....and that is why it makes more sense to play rugby as a weight category sport (and not so mush age).......similar to what is done in other contact/ fighting sports. The drive for performance is overriding common sense.
