gtr1 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Here is an extract from an interesting article in the Business Day. Adds weight to the comments about riders like Lance that have never been caught only because they are ahead of the game.It is one thing talking the talk, but in practice anti-doping agencies are always a step behind the drug users. At any given moment there are drugs that are simply not detectable. ?We do not know how to detect undetectable drugs,? says Noakes. ?All the best athletes with unlimited budgets have access to the undetectables and the ?scientists? who provide them. The market appears to be very large.? Galant agrees that anti-doping agencies are playing catch-up, and that testing is unable to keep up with rapidly evolving drugs. ?Our resources allocated towards testing are not sufficient to really say we are winning the fight.?For the whole article..... http://www.businessday.co.za/articles/Content.aspx?id=86123
Sammajoor Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 What drugs in Cyling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. There goes that myth. do not show this to Colonel
ASTANA Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Why did they catch I.Basso, J.Ullrich, Vino ? Surely they also make/made alot of money those days. ok ok lance is way ahead now - financially that is. but from 1999 up till now --- I find it hard to believe that... understand the statement - its like crime - criminals will always be ahead - some will get caught but others will keep improving. just find it strange that he could have stayed out of trouble for so long. its not like the french relax when he is in town.
Woofie Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 haha, I dont believe that drugs do anything....... But I actually do agree with the guy though. Let go of the reigns let the people do what they want. Sure, they are going to die early or grow boobs, but that is their own choice. Its the same choice as smoking, it is going to kill you oneday so are you sure you want to do it?
Slowbee Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 drugs in cycling? i'm shocked! what did you get shocked with ? a cattle prodder?
GreyOwl3.0 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 The three rules in cycling are...1. The bigger the needle the faster the finish2. The longer the climb the higher the dosage and finally and most importantly3. The sin is not in taking the drug, its in being caught. So 'No'...there is no drug abuse in cycling....
Slowbee Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 holy holly you mean there are rules to taking drugs ? now I know I can finish argus.
GreyOwl3.0 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 And finish Argus in record time as well! But, will you live to collect the medal?! Its a trade off...but like Bon Jovi said, "its better to die than just fade away!'"
GreyOwl3.0 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 heck I'll do anything to beat 6 hours! Dude...the stuff they have going could get a corpse to beat the six hour mark!
Slowbee Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 now listen Mr Bird, dont be calling me a stiff!
GreyOwl3.0 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Thats funny Slowbee! Is the Ciocc ready for JoBurgs toughest day?
Gumpole Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Why did they catch I.Basso' date=' J.Ullrich, Vino ? Surely they also make/made alot of money those days. ok ok lance is way ahead now - financially that is. but from 1999 up till now --- I find it hard to believe that... understand the statement - its like crime - criminals will always be ahead - some will get caught but others will keep improving. just find it strange that he could have stayed out of trouble for so long. its not like the french relax when he is in town. [/quote'] They didn't really catch any of them...(correct me if i'm wrong) 1. Basso has never tested positive, he was linked to Fuentes through other evidence2. lately it has been discovered that Ullrich was a hugeb doper, not through testing3. Vino was only caught cos the dumbf*ck ended up with somebody elses blood in his body by mistake... or was that hamilton.4. lance has never tested positive, he was linked to dr Ferrari by his own admission.
Slowbee Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 as an aside - do they do drug testing in F1? GO2, not doing ther 94.7 this year. Travelling to JHB is just to expensive.
