turtlek Posted July 30, 2008 Share Why did Robbie hunter win the king of the mountains jersey at the giro del capo??????? ? Same reason Malcolm Lange won the KoM jersey in Morroco if I remember' date=' he went over climbs in the correct break on the correct day. ? Didnt Nolan win a KoM at some overseas tour aswell?[/quote'] ? Lange also won Tour de Lesotho a few times. exactly its not if you can climb in south africa its if you are at the right place at the right time and are able to *** off a little bit more than anybody else!!!

Carbon Freak Posted July 31, 2008 Share "haha.. you dont need lots of money to dope.

Witrot Posted August 24, 2008 Share heres a tip : If someone is shaking like a leaf before a race - they're up to their eyeballs on the stuff. I've seen it at pretty much every race' date=' even WP champs...[/quote'] Correct! and don't forget the goosebumps that are as prominent as a bad road rash. Resulting in all sorts of excuses as to why they have them There are several people that sell the stuff and if you keep your eyes and ears open, it is VERY obvious. The main problem in SA is, we don't test as often as other countries so a lot of these guys with the shaking leaf and goose syndrome, all get away with it race after race. Got goosebumps even on hot summer days before a start of a race...just natural adrenalin pumping, especially on races i looked forward to...and liked Sean said...when you bonked big time the goosebumps was also there On the testing. I got sent a couple times to testing after a race when i was younger and racing licensed. But....came there and then being told to go home....why??? I know i was clean....but still, if you are sent for doping, why doesn't the people take the tests. Then, what was interesting to see as well for the races i had to take the test....why some guys always asked their wifes for their wallets and was in a hurry to get it just before going into the place where the tests was taking...i have never seen a shop for things to buy in there or don't you trust your wife with your wallet??

whitesox Posted August 25, 2008 Share Last time I checked pseudoephedrine was not a banned substance, it's rather common in many cold meds. Ephedrine is banned though and can be very dangerous. Ever think that someone shaking a leaf before a race could merely be nervous or well hydrated? Goosebumps on a hot day may well be a sign of doping but is also a sign of dehydration and adrenaline... Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 25, 2008 Share How about this for an idea: Every race entry into important races includes a testing fee - pretty expensive, there was something about cost on Ryder's site once I think. But after the race and the testing is done you get most of your money back if you are negative. Some would have to be keept to cover testing etc. Anyone who fails pays for all the negative tests and get his ban?
