Doping in SA cycling


HANSIE SLIM

Recommended Posts

Who would you like to see tested amonst the local riders. Think about your club/team mates.

 

Why is it that 90 kg sprinters outclimb 65 kg climbers at The Jock.

 

What tell tale signs are we looking for in dopers?

 

Where can we buy the stuff?

Not really but if you listen to some people there are serious concerns about how clean our cyclists are that ride and win local races.

 

A lot of allegations are made. Lets see what this thread brings us. I know of at least 10 allegations ranging from well known to cyclosprt riders.

 

Over heard a discussion in a bike shop that goes "you use xyz and then you use the following to mask it"

this is the sad thing about doping..... we've come to reside in a state of mind that is totally based upon suspicion. Instead of congratulating the 90kg person driving hard up the climbs we believe there must be another explanation..... a really sad place we find ourselves in..... and all of this stems from the actions of 'professionals' encamped in elite sports, not just cycling, who've constantly and repeatedly giving us false dreams, enacted by false idols, until there is no belief left at any level, because any stand out / break through performance must be the result of something other than hard work.

What do you expect to come to the fore in this thread? Other hubbers making doping allegations based on suspicion? You can't name South-African riders and say that you 'heard' that they use banned substances...rumours like that can really hurt a cyclist's career.

To be honest I don't care if cyclosport riders take epo, steroids or whatever so they can feel cool and win the B bunch race by cheating.

 

Racing categorys is a bit more serious, I rate if you tested a few of the middle position racing cat. riders they would turn up positive, but again who really cares if they're taking stuff as long as they aren't contenders for the top positions.

who is this 90kg sprinter outclimbing the climbers...

 

 

 

I think he is talking about Nolan Hoffman who came second in the Jock this year. He was a beast on the Boulders climb.

I will pm all the names of all the dopers (or where to find the namesWink)to anyone who requests it, deposits R1000 in my bank account and promises to keep the names  secret (I am aware that some won't keep the secret but as long as the deposit is made I can live with the risk) Big%20smile
