Barend de Arend Posted August 12, 2009 Share You don't just take morphine. That's a highly categorised drug. As far as I know it has to be administered intravenously. So they should also question the team doctor and management about this. Finally' date=' some light being shed on doping in other sports. Cycling is at least trying to do something about it... Wonder when proper testing will take place in rugby. No way those guys get like that from eating Pronutro... [/quote'] I'm with you and Spinnekop here. Morphine is not an over-the-counter mistake. Steyn has a team doctor, and he's paid to know all the rules (when I go to the GP, the GP gets a headache.) If it's that serious, Steyn should not have played. He should have taken two weeks off, and used the WADA out-of-competition stuff. Doping at Olympics 2008 was certainly not just cycling. If you read some of the research into doping in closed sports (non-Olympic, non-WADA) it's quite scary. But then, cricket is strongly objecting the whereabouts system, just like soccer...

Guest colonel Posted August 12, 2009 Share With the SA cricket team the where abouts are easy: 1) The pub-more than likely Billy the Bums 2) The donut shop 3) The pie shop 4) The dagga mert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delgado Posted August 12, 2009 Share You all are missing the point here!! He is a Protea so de facto an honest mistake and not guilty! God help this thread if it had been Mitchell Johnson hey???!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted August 12, 2009 Share Remember that something like cortisone is banned in cycling IN COMPETITION. The reason for that is to protect riders from aggrivating an already existing injury. Imagine if they had to do that in rugby. The guys basically have to take a cortizone shot before running onto the field!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
