I hear a local Vet/Master XCO rider was caught recently? Does anyone have details. Just the rumour mill but where there is smoke!

Apparently the banned substance is in a recovery shake.

@Red Bird What substance? Thereโ€™s a whole bunch listed on the SAIDS link.ย 

Not sure. I find it hard to believe all those substances came from the shake too. But, these powders rarely get tested, and not all substances are listed on the label, so, even well-known brands end up with these banned substances.

That is every single doping offenderโ€™s favourite line. โ€œIt was in my protein shakeโ€ โ€œit was in my foodโ€. Rubbish.ย 
ย 

If it was in 32GIโ€™s shakes, there would be way more cases across all sports. Do you really think that a brand is going to put banned substances for athletes in an atheletes recovery shake and ruin their reputation? I highly doubt it.ย

These offenders 99% know exactly what they are doing.ย

Yes. I refuse to use anything made by USN for ย this reason.ย

Yes, USN even puts it on their website.

As from 1 January 2017 Oxilofrine (methylsynephrine), as contained in Advantra Zยฎ and other Citrus Aurantium versions, is on the WADA prohibited substance list (sports banned substances). Please refrain from using products containing Advantra Zยฎ if you are a professional athlete who gets tested by the Anti-doping Agency.

Supplements Can Present a Risk With Respect to Wada Regulated Athletes in Two Ways

1. As the list of prohibited substances changes on a yearly basis, some supplements may contain ingredients which were previously allowed but are now prohibited. In addition, some less scrupulous manufacturers may inadequately or incorrectly label product ingredients, making it difficult for the athlete to identify safe products, even if they are aware of the WADA list.

2. Contamination of a product:ย 

By the use of ingredients which contain trace amounts of WADA prohibited substances

In the manufacturing process where traces of other products (which contain WADA prohibited substances) are manufactured in the same facility and find their way into another product.

Almost every supplement is at risk, particularly cheaper/smaller brands. Unless the product goes through an audited batch testing process such as informed sport. Which is a large cost to carry.

Well then thatโ€™s a bold statement to make by naming an actual brand/product without the offering of any proof. There are also no hearing docs on any of the four case that I could see, so if contamination was a concern, why not exercise the right to a hearing.ย 
There is no way there is 3-4 steroid contaminations in a single supplement. The one case say RAD140, which is in lifestyle supplements.ย 

Sorry, but your posts are wildly open ended whilst throwing a brand under the bus. Itโ€™s almost as bad as CSA and Gauteng Cycling keeping quiet and just quietly editing documents over team announcements.

We have to find out from Instagram and BikeHub.

At least we gotย the notifications to an online SAIDS course from Gauteng Cycling, but not enough has been done to motivate riders to attend. Riders generally donโ€™t think that they could be doping accidentally. Once we understand the risks, more will be aware of what they put in their bodies.

Totally irrelevant. Have not seen any such notice.ย
