When I was riding regularly (90's) I really enjoyed buying video's of the Tdf, Giro d'Italia, Paris-Roubaix, etc. and on late weekend nights plugging one in with a glass of wine and just watching it for an hour or two. I can't get enthused anymore - now it is all about hematocrits, testosterone levels, etc. Back to golf, I guess. Fan, yes. Rider, no. Take a few minutes, there's some excellent "get real" material here, free for the reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France I'm afraid it's full of mistakes.

Yes, their use in cycling is primarily anti-inflammatory rather than anabolic. I assume the rationale for the ban is that they convey the ability to ride with less pain. It doesn't explain why NSAIDS aren't banned. But I'm certainly not saying that criteria for banning a particular pharmaceutical are rational. Thanks! And yes, glucocorticoids are banned. Benjo |

They were ALL caught (except for Levi and Lance, who doped and got away with it). It was a long time ago but Levi lost a national championship over an allergy med. At least he said it was an allergy med. F |

You raised the (totally stupid, IMHO) issue of eye surgery and golf. Actually, I did not. This Usenet thingy is kind of confusing, so here's a clue: we're not all the same person. I am, however, mildly flattered to have been confused with Dusty. (- I claim a NG first for that, by the way) Yep - my apologies to one of you guys - I'm not around here enough to know which. Not much of an apology. "I won't exert the effort to engage in dialogue." -- Old Fritz |
