Pieter-za Posted June 19, 2019 Share Got taking cough mixture if I recall Kof kof....Charl Mattheus tested positive in 1992 for phenyl-propanolomine which was removed in Jan 2004 from the list of prohibited substances.

ArthurPTA Posted June 20, 2019 Share Although I do agree, to an extent, that testing will always lag behind new drugs; it is often not the issue. In ZA, there are well known drugs that SAIDS and WADA simply don’t test for, as its too expensive. At least in some local cycling circles, this is known and discussed. So if one wants to dope, do so with substances that are too expensive to run in random tests. For athletes with a passport, its somewhat of a different story.

Chris_ Posted June 20, 2019 Share I know there are some legit runners on this chat so I don't feel completely ridiculous asking this... Does anyone know/chat to Ryan Sandes? I see he went to California 3 or so weeks early to scout Western States. Does this mean he's really going to give this one a proper go? As far as I can remember of late he's been languishing a bit and could do with a solid race result. Raab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurPTA Posted June 20, 2019 Share SAIDS are actually pretty good there are a number of cases in the weeks pre comrades which they have caught people not big names just random podium tests at small ish races no doubt a couple will make the news in due course. The biological passport is by far the best way to catch the dopers but it's very expensive and generally only for the top performers. A university friend works for USADA and he alaways says that a red light for them is an athlete who has had a big performance but then goes on the athlete passport and then the performance over next years markedly decreases this has been happening with many Kenyan athletes a big win in a marathon then they are never seen again. The public needs confidence in results including this years Comrades I think athletes need to be honest and open about when and where they are tested which will hopefully go some way to restoring faith.

Last year he crewed fellow Salomon athlete Francois D'Haene and Ryan won the year prior to thatHope he has a great race, but everyone unfortunately is in the hands of JW I think... pretty much hoping he strikes out. Scary to think his winning time last year was nearly 1.5 hours quicker than Ryans winning time in 2017... in elite circles that's massive. Will try remember to follow the coverage online if the stars align Raab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted June 20, 2019 Share I might think about it - came off World Duathlon champs last year with a 39min PB for the (shorter!) 10km run so thought I was the bees-knees when I lined up for my first 4km race. Got my ass royally handed to me. And for the next 3 or 4 races I got properly schooled. So have a bit of unfinished business there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
