He could have been racing dirty but he was tested a bunch during the Olympics and DH and always came up clean. I don't think that the stuff he has now is a new or cutting edge so...Could have been taking stuff his whole career and now got caught. Who knows.. Once the hearings happen everyone will get a better insight. Such as how much was in his sample, how many supplements/food/whatever it would take to have such a reading.. I think both guys have every chance of escaping a suspension.. Chris Froome’s case has set the precedent, they can now challenge the validity of the doping test if they wanted.
When you read his last paragraph he makes it clear that he thinks there is a difference between banned substances and that some are a lot worse than others.He could have been racing dirty but he was tested a bunch during the Olympics and DH and always came up clean.

I don't know, I'm not really trying to stick up for anyone, just making a point from the interview!
all a matter of dosageWhen you read his last paragraph he makes it clear that he thinks there is a difference between banned substances and that some are a lot worse than others.
I reckon Jared would probably bust the testing system with what he's had to take in the last few months.Next up... Therapeutic Use exceptions. Basically many of them will suffer from some BS medical condition and get a pass for a banned substance.
The UCI has not closed that loop yet.
I was coming for this one too, Froomey and Wiggo did very well out of their *cough *cough asthma and the TUE's it required.Next up... Therapeutic Use exceptions. Basically many of them will suffer from some BS medical condition and get a pass for a banned substance.

Call me cynical. But those guys are on the next big thing. This TUE is for masking or to deviate attention somehow.I was coming for this one too, Froomey and Wiggo did very well out of their *cough *cough asthma and the TUE's it required.
It's probably considered less problematic than EPO etc, but they used it to their advantage and it could well have been the difference?
Lance Armstrong tested clean a bunch of times, but he was dodgy as fuck. Ultimately undone because he bullied, threatened and generally fucked over too many people. If he wasn't a soulless shithead, he might have gotten away with it, but there were signs that it was too good to be true, and it was in part, what brought the microscope down on himHe could have been racing dirty but he was tested a bunch during the Olympics and DH and always came up clean.

There's the rub. EWS leave testing up to the discretion of the national body and as a result, there has never been any testing. The French, however, give a fuck and decided it was about time these EWS athletes were made accountable.[QUOTE="mas2, post: 3223626, member:] Both are shocked that they tested positive, even more shocked that there was a test.
I reckon there isn’t much in the pipeline and TUE’s is as good as it gets atm.. Sky have founded a whole team on pushing the legal limits..Call me cynical. But those guys are on the next big thing. This TUE is for masking or to deviate attention somehow.
I don't think MTB generates enough money for these guys to be on the really good stuff. But TUE's could be used at any rate...
Did you ever take enough you couldn’t feel your skin? dimethylamylamine is dangerous, was the right thing to banIt's interesting that the supplement manufacturer chimed in to say the ingredients were never in the product, because many of these product have "proprietary ingredients" that they change from time to time . I remember used to use jack3d pre workout and they had a banned substanced similar to that asthma medicine. Was not disclosed until they were called out. The "old recipe" became much sought out!!
There were a bunch of easy to obtain supplements a while back loaded with pseudoephedrine until young NFL players in the states dropped dead from heart attacks from them..It's interesting that the supplement manufacturer chimed in to say the ingredients were never in the product, because many of these product have "proprietary ingredients" that they change from time to time .

It kinda says a lot about the sport, any advantage will be taken.
Money and Glory, and not having to work a shit job you hate , like many of us (which would fall under the money category) - would be major motivations.I don’t think it is limited to this sport. It is the human condition. Most of us want to appear better than we really are.
The strava straight lining at local trails is a classic example. Ordinary mountain bikers, with no championship on the line, are more than happy to create a shortcut in their local trail, just so they can be momentarily at the top of a cyber-leaderboard. As soon as one knobhead does it, all the other leaderboard wankers do it too, because they are all desperately competing with each other. It is pathetic. And that would become the actual trail, until a regular mountain biker gets the original corner back by filling in the straight line with branches.
If the ordinary punter is prepared to cheat for zero actual gain, the temptation must be insane at the top level.
