Isn't Eben Van Wyk a TCS rider?

 

Why only a 6 month suspension?

Ephedrine - Cold medicine? Did they forget to get  TUEs?

ephedrine

Drug that acts like adrenaline on the sympathetic nervous system (sympathomimetic). Once used to relieve bronchospasm in asthma,

it has been superseded by safer, more specific drugs. It is contained

in some cold remedies as a decongestant. Side effects include rapid

heartbeat, tremor, dry mouth, and anxiety.

Lol, the second paragraph of that page:

 

Ephedrine is an alkaloid, C10H15NO1, derived from Asian gymnosperms (genus Ephedra)

or synthesized. It is sometimes misused, and excess leads to mental

confusion and increased confidence in one's own capabilities as they

actually decline.

I asked the same question yesterday.

 

I could swear when I read the news on CSA's website yesterday, it read 1 year ban up until 14 January 2010!  Perhaps an appeal that was successful?

Isn't the ban 2 years as a standard?

considering that you should not race when you have the flu, using the excuse "It is contained in some cold remedies as a decongestant" is a bit lame.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

****I now have to go to a hip Doctor cause I fell off my chair when I read this.

 

Why would a "team" that is just there to have fun need to use these things??

 

Oh my oh my oh my.

 

Hello Crux? Wanna elaborate on this?

they are both banned and as far as i know pseudoephedrine is the lab engineered one to help with weight loss so it can be found in most things like leanor and any other weight loss supplement that is over the counter issued
