Think before you guys judge her read what she has to say about it.

 

She went to to pharmacy for Sinustat, they did not have stock. The pharmacist gave her Actifed and said it's almost the same thing.

Guys do not judge before all the facts are known and do not draw nor make up conclusions. She has the right to appeal it let the process run its course.

 

For interest sake Coryx also has a substance in that we test yoy as positive in a window period of two days after consumption, how many of you use it for a cold?

I feel for her. Unfortunately it happens too often, pro athletes should check their meds.

But is it not a pro cyclists obligation to know that?

Don't think they should know every substance, but yes for any pro athlete, it is at least their obligation to check

I made a comment in another track - Another Adverse Analytical finding page 8 - this is an example off the controllers failing the sport in my opinion.

 

Pseudoephedrine has been on and off the banned list too many times and is way to easy to get even at your Local PnP.

 

Here is what Drug free sport says on it website which is rather vague as to how long it may last in your system / half life.
