This looks like the AMA test, must be different from the WADA tests that RV and Chad got when they came to their homes?

The doping thing seems a little irritating. I know that they have to do it, but, MXers and SXers are traditionally non-steriod users.

I saw that on RacerX this morning and thought the results were interesting also. For the AMA test and the WADA is basically a blood/urine test? Regardless, I'm glad that all racers passed.

what exactly is banned? obviously these guys aren't interested in becoming Arnold, but I'm sure there are plenty of other enhancers that would allow them to go 100% for 20 laps.

It doesn't matter what sport you're in, if you compete you're in it to win it. Only one can win it so imo i think it's naive to so nobody juices up. Doesn't have to be a well known substance like steroids but if it's banned its still technically cheating.

Are the names chosen just picked randomly? Are they testing different riders ever week?

Blood doping and "steroids" are two different things in there own context. Athletes like cyclists and motocross racers would benefit from blood doping (stamina), where an athlete like a football player or a competition body builder would benefit using anabolics (steroids).(size and growth).

Yes, finally someone that remembers the difference. Doping is taking your own blood over an amount of time, and before an event putting it back to in effect create more volume. No drugs just more volume. Think of it as a bigger oil pan.

Yup, you can also dope by blood transfusions.

Steroid usage would be fairly useless in MX (it would likely slow you down) but all the endurance meds and methods would make for an obvious advantage...for example there are relatively common over the counter meds that are banned that do increase stamina...to test this for yourself go take a couple of anti histamine tablets, then go for a jog, you'll notice the improvement in how much futher/faster you can jog.

Exactly. Also looking for EPO, amphetamines and other endurance/recovery stimulants at this level.

I like how everyone assumes that taking steroids makes you big and huge, If you lift like a bodybuilder then that is true. But if you're taking steroids and training like an endurance athlete, you'd end up extremely ripped and strong. Imagine two guys the same weight, but one has a much lower body fat and is twice as strong as the other. Definite advantage. Certain steroids are also developed to make you lean and not put on massive bulk. But in regards to this, they are looking for blood dopers, no doubt in my mind

Thank you, you would not believe how many people don't know that. They think a guy takes steroids and lays on the coach and gets huge.

Anyone that thinks steroids are only about size and growth doesn't know much about steroids. Think recovery.

Another that needs to do some research.

Blood Doping

Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic performance. Because such blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the muscles, a higher concentration in the blood can improve an athlete’s aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and endurance.

Anabolic Steroid

Anabolic steroids, technically known as anabolic-androgen steroids (AAS) or colloquially as "steroids" (or even "roids"), are drugs that mimic the effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the body. They increase protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles. Anabolic steroids also have androgenic and virilizing properties, including the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics such as the growth of the vocal cords, testicles, and body hair (secondary sexual characteristics).

Just to give those who don't know a different perspective on the difference between "blood doping" and "steroid use"
