Yes, In athletics you have to make your whereabouts known to the drug testing folks, and if you miss 3 tests you are banned. I am not sure if the same rule set applies to footballers. in that if you miss 1 test you are banned, as in Ferdinand case, surely there would have been a lot more footballers who would have missed tests? ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Correct Shoco, this is known as microdosing, where lads take small amounts of banned drugs, carefully calibrated with the aid of dieuretics (also usually banned) to make sure they are clean before a race. The trick isn't to overload on the drugs, or peak at a certain time, it is keeping it just the bare minimum below the legal amount, and maintaining it at that level, so that any improvement will probably be small and can be explained by a remarkable consistency when the accusations start flying. Farah, probably guilty, but sure even if he isn't, one or 2 of his competitors will be soon, as they can't beat him as things stand, and somebody will get fed up of it & go for the next step. I don't really know or care much about Farah, but the whole Gatlin thing is just a massive piss take, athletics version of cycling's Chris Horner. Losing battle I'm afraid & always will be, but we could really do without the piss takers if we want to be someway convincing that the competition is even. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

In a lot of sports you must provide the testers with your travel details, but if you feel you have something in your system and can afford to miss a test then why not? Doping when you are training is what has you ready for competition these days. If done properly there is no need to dope during competition when you are much more likely to be tested. ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

"Graham Arthur, Ukad’s legal director, said the agency followed a “detailed protocol” if an athlete did not answer the door to a doping control officer immediately at the prescribed hour. “They are required to make reasonable efforts to locate the athlete. Ringing the doorbell every 10 or 15 minutes, knocking and staying for the full hour,” he said. “We often ask them to stay just past the hour on the off-chance the athlete is running late. We want to collect the sample, we don’t want them to miss the test.” Didn't hear the doorbell my eye!!

Its in Fergie's book that Rio passed the test 24 hours later.Always thought the 8 month ban he got was very harsh,his/club high profile probably contributed to that.

How many footballers are at each club who play senior football and are liable to be drug tested? It must be close to 100? So take the EPL, 18 clubs = 1800 players.

The story of Justin Gatlin is inspiring. Another PB for him at 33. Great to see him continue to run faster without drugs than he ran when he was on drugs. It should deter athletes from seeing the need to use performance enhancing drugs...... He said during the week his goal was to break Bolt's 100m WR this year.

Article on RTE about drugs and Irish sport Interesting that football, a sport where many people make a living from in this country does not feature higher on the list. Also rugby, probably the highest earning athletes in this country is only third, and not a single in competition test (50% off Gaa players tested were in competition) It's hardly a surprise to see cycling high on the list of drug testing, but with zero financial reward for racing in Ireland i do find it odd that its tested so much, any Irish cyclist that makes a career out of it do so abroad, but not sure if they are in the figures or whether it's domestic riders only ------------- YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

The IAAF. At least 10 years behind the much derided UCI in testing, in attitude, make it about 40 years. Jamaica, for example, has only started blood testing athletes since, eh, last year. Any famous athletes from Jamaica ??? Anyone who has followed the issue of drugs in cycling over the years can see exactly where this is going. The 28 banned lads ? Mostly already retired. How convenient. There will be one high profile scapegoat somewhere shortly (probably not Gatlin, they haven't figured out how to catch him yet) because the nature of these things means there must be someone to ''prove'' they are serious about the subject. When that fella/woman is hung out to dry, introduce some new anti doping measures and trumpet loudly in press releases. Problem ''solved''. To be fair to them, storing all these tests in the first place is a positive ( pun intended) move. Some will be caught years later, whatever effect that will have. Not much really, who won all those TDF's if Armstrong didn't ? The various medals in races of years gone by will all have similar asterisks over them. All a load of bollix really. And perhaps surprisingly, relatively easily solved if the IAAF wanted it to be, if Victor Conté is to be believed. Victor knows a thing or 2 about this subject, but the bit at the end of this article gets to the crux of the matter, the Olympic movement/organisation has too much invested in it to fail, so it won't fail, it will be propped up by any means necessary. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/08/11/more-sports/conte-says-coverup-protected-big-stars-seoul-games/#.Vcum7HFVikq" rel="nofollow - http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2015/08/11/more-sports/conte-says-coverup-protected-big-stars-seoul-games/#.Vcum7HFVikq ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Where did you get that from ? She has been one of the most vocal opponents of drug cheats throughout her career so this would be a massive surprise.

Paul Kimmage and other athletic forums. Her marathon world record is too good to be true.  As discussed in this thread http://www.letsrun.com/forum/f...ad=6669431 it seems that Paula Radcliffe has taken out a super injunction ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-injunctions_in_English_law ) on the British press to stop them from reporting her highly suspicious blood values that were in the IAAF database leaked to the Sunday Times/German televison Read more: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=6673464#ixzz3igWWUNsD ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Checked with my mate who works in the media and normally knows about these things - Hasn't heard anything about Paula Radcliffe having taken out a super injunction. |

The man is right though. Whether you believe in Froome or not, he makes a valid point here. The UCI spends 4 times as much on drug testing (to police basically a few hundred pros) as the IAAF. I wouldn't even like to hazard a guess as to how many athletes fall under their remit. Approx 10,000 athletes were at the London Olympics, and that is only the ones who qualified. But then again, the vast cost of policing 10000 people individually makes it more or less impossible to police effectively. Simply put, the Olympics & to a lesser extent, football, are too big to fall under any kind of comprehensive programme. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |
