Pos. Drug Test

I, for one, am shocked! I just read on cyclingnews.com where a female
mountainbiker failed a drug test at a recent NORBA event. Positive
for THC.

Did anyone know that (some)mountainbikers smoke pot?

I find it hard to believe that being stoned during a MTB downhill event
could be considered performance enhancing.

i wonder if thc could in some way actually be performance enhancing... some
researcher somewhere has to have done something on this...

amphetamines can improve concentration... race car drivers take them...
mountain bikers should also take them to improve their handling skills.. it
seems that under the new WADA rules they can get started in that direction with
pseudoephedrine!...

maybe THC puts them at ease , clears their mind, gives them one-ness with the
forest, trees, rocks, and dirt so that they can navigate the courses by feeling
the "cosmic vibes"... a guy i know swears this is the key to fast road
descents...

but then again, CHRIS DAGGS always seems like he is high every time he opens
his mouth and he sucks... BTW daggs i am thinking of moving to SD- we can start
a ride from hillcrest...

or maybe she just smoked a 'J' w/ some friends as opposed to the
performance-enhancing effects of THC. i've never smoked but i've never seen
any evidence that would make it performance-enhancing, more along the lines
of reducing/relaxation. one thing about downhill, the munchies don't catch
up with you, in fact they may actually help (force=mass x acceleration).

You sleep better the night before a competition. That's it, I'm sure.

Only chick MTB riders smoke pot...

The half-life of THC is pretty long. It could show up a week or more after
smoking it (depending on a number of factors).

It can be detected as long as a year after use. Fat-soluble.
