So I guess they are not tested then during ban? Valid point made above that you can dope yourself to hilt during ban and then train at that work load for massive adaptation.

 

I think you have to let them know of your intention to start racing again 6 months prior

Ag , please dutchie, I've seen you dop, you feel nothing for popping jaegers and beers and riding the *** out of us the next day, I've seen you dop

I've seen you check the seeding boards laughing

YOU HAVE NO SHAME

I spike my jaegers with some edgar bro....shhhh dont tell anyone.

 

Dare I say it takes more talent to ride when you were dopping the night before vs doping the night before...

 

Should test the theory.

I want to believe that Nolan learnt from his mistakes and has been racing clean, I suppose only he will really know. I feel most for the dopers team mates who are often left without a sponsor as happened in his case. 

 

What I am sceptical about are riders who come back stronger after a ban than before (when they were obviously doping) and go on to podium almost immediately, I wonder if anyone is ever tested randomly while serving their ban, seeing as they are not racing, and are also not licensed ?

Maybe one of the doc's can elaborate or have studies that have proven this....

 

I am pretty sure some of the benefits of doping are permanent, even if its just psychological.

don't know 

 

but he was not the top MTB'er when the thread was posted. James Reid was #33 and dopeface was #37

I am getting bored of EPO. Can't these guys find something new to dope with? Or are they already, and we just don't know about it yet?  

 

  • HGH.
  • gw501516, which is high risk.

But since we know about these, there must be even newer stuff...

Rourke is ranked 37th with 658 points.

 

Reid is tops for SA at 33rd.

Funny how many people has this attitude towards DG but they are happy with Nolan piling on the victories. Not saying you are 1 of them, just saying...............

I think it's different due to the context. afaik, Nolan took some medicine in the naughty list to help with an injury. DG was the glory boy in our top local epic team with a documentary team following them around, but was doing systematic EPO.

 

One is a much greater sin in my mind at least

Well this is exactly the double standard I was talking about. Doping is doping friend
