The only documented advantage of so called "PEDS" is to enhance recovery and build muscle mass. This is beneficial in football, gymnastics, hockey, wrestling and weight lifting. My point is, other then injury recovery, PEDS do not benefit active (non injured) SX riders. The counter argument made by some of you is that PEDS make everyone better no matter what they are doing, as if PEDS are the same as Underdogs little magic pill. The remaining generic response is endurance, my factual point that the fastest one lap riders are also the fastest 20 lap riders illustrates endurance is not part of the argument either. Sorry if that went over some of your heads. Coming through the amateur ranks, all of the top riders rode multiple classes,endurance was earned, unless you think they used PEDS back then.
I apologize for the name calling, had a few too many cocktails, but I disagree with accusations made without any factual basis.
I don't want to start another argument, but PEDS will help you in just about any sport. You feel like Superman while you are taking them. Not only do you recover quicker, but you don't get tired or fatigued as easily while you are taking them. Also, MX and SX require a lot of strength and there is a huge benefit if you are not only stronger than other competitors, but if you can sustain than strength without getting tired.
I have no idea if any of the professional racers are doing them, but I can tell you 100% by experience that by taking PEDS you will have an advantage over anyone regardless of the activity you are participating in.

That's not the only advantage to PED's.

and here is a pic Chad posted a little while ago, if you recall last year (see this thread: WADA makes their first appearance... ) Chad and RV got surprise visits from the WADA crew. This pic is telling Chad that he no longer has to let them know where he is at 24/7

...as far as what their (WADA) involvement is this year? i have no clue.

People who think PED's won't benefit an mx athlete are insane!
2/11/2013 2:54pm
Results last year came back from some testing in the GPs where Cairoli,Desalle.Paulin,Herlings were amongst those who were tested and passed,so they do happen,the MXdN in France saw some testing too,although I'm not naive enough to think everyone's clean on both sides of the pond though

I'm convinced there are some guys doping and not others,hasn't anyone ever looked at the Outdoors Lites class and ever wondered FFS??

Let's be real here for a second and imagine this actually happened....it would cost hundred's of dollar's to test each rider just for elevated RBC or testosterone levels, let alone growth hormone, insulin and lots of other peptides and stuff that can be used under the radar. Do you really believe the AMA would spend thousand's of dollars on testing and then pull the top $ making players out of the sport? Not a chance. They will tell the public they have put system's in place for testing and then "randomly" pick a few guys (not in reality, the guys wont hear anything about it) just to get the people who have conversations like this off their backs. Youtube "bigger,stronger,faster" and watch that even olympic gold medalist's who test positive for PED's dont get pulled from the olympics, which is WAY bigger then any AMA motocross race. My 2 cents and something to let bounce around in your head for awhile Wink .

If you guys out there don't think PED's are being used in our sport, you're nuts. The sport almost demands it to compete. There are many types of PED's out there, that can do a lot of different things for you, even down to deer antler spray. Lewis thought he had to spray it on his arm, until the guy said, no, under your tongue. Look at it with a little bit of logic. Football and baseball players use it to get stronger, faster, and have more energy. Other sports use it to gain strength. The world of cycling, and Lance advanced it to a new level. In our sport, you have the talent , and lack of fear, and you practice your form and ride every day. But the other part of your training is in the gym, working out to enhance your strength. ( PED's can help you there) . Then you ride a bike or run to gain the cardio for endurance. ( PED's can help you there) . If you have the speed and talent to make it to the mains,every week, now you have only 20 people to race against. If you can keep up,and get closer to the top 10 or 5 finishers eventually, your going to think how you can get to the next step. You're practicing hard, and working out and eating right, but you're not there yet. Then you think, what makes them so fast, lapping guys in 3 or 4 laps? So you do the do, because you think they are doing the do. I completely believe that PED's are being used in SX, especially with the newer riders. They have more to gain, with sponsorships diminishing. People taking out people on a regular basis, some push it out of control. And look at some of the interviews after some of this happens with all the dramatic emotion. When they win they don't talk. Bad signs. I'd bet some of these kids couldn't pass a DUI test after a race. It's here guys, and it's here to stay.

In a perfect world, a drug testing system where by an independent panel randomly performed routine drugs test would be perfect, across all professional motocross championships.

Looking at the SX class this year, where there are 7 guys who could legitimately win races within 2 or 3 tenths of a second of eachother in laptimes, surely any little advantage you could get would be worth getting. I mean an extra 2% or 3% could really be the difference between 1st and 6th.

The way I look at it is, the ability, physicality and physique of the younger riders these days is incredible, and how they can dive straight in and win races straight away. Roczen was 15 when he started riding and getting podiums in the WC; Tomac won his first professional race; Canard won his rookie championship in SX; Barcia ran upfront quite a lot in his first few months ever in outdoors (#151).

This is in no doubt partly down to the fact that these kids are stepping onto factory bikes straight out of amateur classes, but it does seems suspicious to me that "back in the day" (i.e. 70s, 80s, early 90s) that there were very few, if any, racers below the age of 20 that really won races and championships. Could this be down to PEDs? I don't know, I'm just speculating. I just think it is VERY, VERY naive to think that in this day in age, with millions of $$$s on the line to do with sponsors, championships, and all round pressure, that any rider would refuse to take a form of PED if they knew they could get away with it.

I think a lot of people would be surprised what a strict and strenuous drug regulating body could reveal in motocross. All you have to do is look at rugby union, rugby league, Aussie rules football, certian instances in football (soccer), numerous cases in baseball, cycling, etc. the list goes on.

PED'S can. increase endurance, increase recovery, decrease injury time out, increase strength, improve explosive strength.
improve the bodies ability to remove chemical bi product. ( decrease arm pump). This is why they are called performance enhancing drugs. Can they give a rider skill and co-ordination, no they can't. However if you had 8 capable winners and 2 took PED's do you think they would improve their performance or chance to win.
They will increase arm pump genious. And Hgh increases cts, not all that desirable for moto
the use of epo will increase red blood cells, increasing oxygen carried in the blood, but also increase the extract of toxins that are produced. So it all depends on what PED's you are talking about. I am far from a expert on the matter. My information comes from a Joe Rogan interviewing Victor Conte on youtube that someone had posted on vital, fantastic 3 hr interview if it interest you

Let me get this straight, since neither RC or James is dominating the scene any more, and the talent is such that anyone in the top 7 can win a main. Now we need testing?

Its time for PED's testing to step up its game in AMA. With so many capable race winners this is not the same as the previous decade with mainly 2 dominent riders at any one time that could be scruitinised
Now more than ever we need to be pro-active in prevention rather than a future fallout and major disgraces to fix
AMA and FIM please jump on it now and keep our sport clean or clean up if needed
Why? what's your beef?

Using a contrasting view, a visibly overweight just turned 16 year old named Marty Tripes won the 1st SuperBowl of Motocross at the LA Coliseum in 1972 beating the best in the world.
Now after pointing that out, I saw a handful of local 125 pros back in the late 70's doing cocaine(on more than 1 occasion) and it was a bit depressing especially when I had looked up to them previously. Remember PED's are any drug that can enhance the users performance.

For me my beef would be a loss of interest in the sport if PED's where found to be prevalent, I believe that would be the way the majority of people would feel. There have been some standout athletes in SX, last year one in the 250class and this year one in the 450 class, both riders i really like but i have to admit the thought that is it possible they are cheating to get such big improvements, keeps crossing my mind. I hate thinking this and wish better testing was in place and i could know they are just training smarter.

Which sport isn't tainted? Cycling, baseball, football, track & field are the curent notables.

If any professional sport doesn't have a steroid problem today then it likely means the sport isn't taking testing seriously.

Amazing, another ?stick from where? I have an opinion PEDS do not benefit SX riders. That's all I said, if you want to provide facts do it, otherwise STFU. Now you bring up gay shit, funny how people like you bring up gay shit. Stay in the NZL please.

As JT$ said, the idea that drugs that increase the body's ability to transport and absorb oxygen, and speed recovery between workouts, wouldn't help SX/MX performance is just irrational. You seem to think that PEDS are muscle mass building compounds. That is inaccurate. There are such drugs, but there are also aerobic threshold extending and fatigue reducing drugs out there, too. In fact, Frank Shorter was one the big movers and shakers in the PED detection field, and what was his sport? He won the 1972 Olympic marathon in Munich. I can say without hesitation that he wasn't worried about how much muscle mass his competitors had.

What ever happened to just being a fan, seriously. I really don't understand why so-called fans wanna be HATERS and attempt to tarnish this great sport.

These guys risk their lives every time they throw a leg over a bike and bottomline is what makes the world go around $$$$.. With speeds faster than ever I say if it helps you, do it..

Why does this keep getting brought up.. It is what it is and don't drag people through mud you were never able to ride through..

On top of any PEDs these days I'd guess adderrall would likely be used in certain situations.
