Wheelsuck Posted July 24, 2018 Share IRONMAN Age-Group World Champion receives four year doping ban https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/industry/ironman-ag-champion-doping-banWonder how rife it is amongst age groupers-one can speculate but this piece of work stole the recognition from another athlete and they give him a 4 year ban?-I say lifetime bans for dopers. gummibear and ScottCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that knowingly enhancing your racing performance by illegal means, whatever they may be, is wrong and unfair. The case of (older) age group athletes that take PEDs for medical reasons are just as guilty but different from elite athletes that are purely chasing performance gains; if you need the meds fair enough take them but then don’t race pretending everything is normal. Having said that, I know it would be hard for me to not race if I had to start taking medication that also improved performance. Which I guess is what got Froome into his latest pickle. Or not (comic sans). Edited July 25, 2018 by amr63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted July 25, 2018 Share IRONMAN Age-Group World Champion receives four year doping banhttps://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/industry/ironman-ag-champion-doping-banWHat is he banned from? Just IM events? As wheelsuck points out, cheating is probably more rife that we realize from intentionally drafting to course cutting to substance use etc. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As wheelsuck points out, cheating is probably more rife that we realize from intentionally drafting to course cutting to substance use etc.Ironman will only have jurisdiction over IM events, not sure if the athletes name gets given to WADA (I presume it would), so he may well be banned from all events.

amr63 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Like what?Testosterone for one: https://www.slowtwitch.com/News/Kevin_Moats_Banned_for_Doping_3172.html No first hand experience, but probably also chronic asthma medication, and possibly heart meds/oxygen vectors.

Chris_ Posted July 26, 2018 Share If you're taking testosterone for 'getting old' surely surely you shouldn't be racing competitively, and thinking you're legit. Maybe I'm just jealous and obviously I don't know each persons actual story, but it just frustrates me when people use shady doctors notes to legitimatize poor morals. As opposed to people who have an actual medical issue, perhaps that line though is getting more and more greyed. amr63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
