Man with no name Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I see that Cyclingweekly now make white wristbands in support of Drug Free Sport. Following recent threads that showed that HUBbers are united for this cause, how about we show some solidarity for this cause at the races? If you guys agree, I suggest we co-ordinate on a per-club basis. Crux, I am happy to pick up the initiative for TCS. Please let me know what you think?

Rommel Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Great idea - but should our money go abroad - wouldn't it be appropiate for SA Drug-free Sport to launch a SA wristband campaign and to use the income to flush out the chunkys?
Man with no name Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Ideally yes, but to get that type of initiative launched locally may take a while. My idea is to raise awareness ahead of the "high season" approaching now.
Jokerman Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I'm in.......you can get me 10......adult one's and 10 youth one's
The Stig Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Great idea, but let the money go towards getting a decent cycling club organised at Kyalami! Motorists don't want us on the public roads, now they have restricted the one place where we don't get in their way - where to now?
Psycho Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Man with no name, I agree with you on this, please let me know if TCS are intending on doing this, I know I'm not part of TCS but will gladly wear one of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rommel: do you really think SA Drug free sport will use the income to flush out chunkys?
Rommel Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 The recent exposure should have served as a wake-up call for Drugfree Sport as well as the law enforcement agencies - if not then SA sport will become like Formula One racing with one manufacturer competing against the other - obviously also discarding the "vehicles" as they become redundant. Pressure about this issue from within the sport on authorities is precious and should be escalating all the time.
Underachiever Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Since I am not a member of a club, I shall appreciate it if I can order via one. I am sure I am not the only one in this boat.Perhaps Admin can buy and they set up a similar payment system as they did for the Hub cycle kits?
Man with no name Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks Psycho, Underachiever and Jokerman. I will keep record of requests and order accordingly. Once we have received, I will arrange for collection at one of the bigger races. The club idea is merely for administrative ease. Rommel, Stig - point taken, but again, not the spirit of the initiative. Let's keep it simple - lets use this thread for indications of participation while sticking to doping threads to voice opinions. Do the math - we're not even talking R 500 here.
Man with no name Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Current tally: Please refer original post for this: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=7329&PN=1 Drug Free Sport Armbands Man with no Name25Psycho1Jokerman10Underachiever1Ian J10Man with no name2006-10-06 03:46:24
