For sure, we discussed this briefly on WhatsApp. I recall you used the words "ass"

 and "hosepipe"  :D 

 

Just find it disconcerting that there are experienced and/or medically qualified people punting this and seemingly without any real guidance, qualified use or requiring the input from someone's GP. Ethically questionable. 

Jarad van Zuydam has given it some good critique. 

 

 

Hahaha, I think that other method is actually more beneficial! I agree totally that it is concerning, but then look at who is punting it and who isn't. Respected people in the field ie: Dr VZ critique it and naturally so, he is world class at what he does. Dr Swart, same thing and and.

 

Take it where is comes from.

What p1sses me off even more than the guys getting caught and serving a ban is the current attitude of certain sponsors in SA.

After said doper has served their ban there seem to be sponsors in SA that have no problem welcoming them back in the fold.

Surely there are enough clean talented cyclist out there to use as the face of your product/business than a previously banned doper.

I for one will NEVER use,buy or support anyone in the cycling trade that sponsors or uses a previously banned doper in their advertising.

Yes they are around currently in road and Mtb.

Interesting drug of choice, weight gain/ mass building being a side effect. Obviously to build up the muscle mass post the injuries.

Looks like desperation drove the decision. She in all likelihood received little in terms of sporting performance gain from using it anyway.

That seems a little harsh.

 

You have been away from the hub too long.... Re-read a few old doper threads

 

Its the prevailing attitude on here against anyone who gets caught.
