The banned substances are out there for a reason--it helps performance in some way. Most times you just can't take a cough medicine ( There are exceptions of course) and get a ban for life sentience.
If all is true, he got what he deserved since there is a precedent set with Cade and James.
And as the little girl lays bleeding and on the verge of dying, everyone says “Well, heck, she knew the rules and that’s what she got.”
The Shop
Does it make a difference to the powers that be if its a high or low level? I suspect they don't care and the suspension will be the same length either way. If it came from something that can be bought commercially I don't give a shit if any rider uses it. It it wasn't that's a different story. But it doesn't matter what I think.
In WADA's case, if a synthetic substance (not naturally found in the human body) is proven to be a performance enhancer, they typically ban it. If they go to a maximum amount allowed in the body, athletes with money and good doctors will identify these substances and run their guy as close to the limit on everything they can. In cycling these days that seems to be the case, as many riders are popped for substances allowed in the body, but they're over the set limit.
These companies hire chemists to constantly change the formula just enough to stay legal. From what Ive heard, a 1,6 version is even gnarlier but not out yet.
Weege says Redbull has a clause in their contract that says if you are caught for this type of infraction,
you are fined your years salary, x2! Ouch.
Lots of lawyering up and interesting meetings and phone calls going on today. Lawyers will do well, they usually do.
RD seems to like Broc as a person, that might help some. Powerful man in global moto.
Pit Row
But you are probably correct, Broc is going down. My fav. JS7 helped fill stadiums, and he went down.
I feel confident it was not intentional doping.
Wow, Couple interesting quotes from the article below.
""On Saturday afternoon at the 2018 Minneapolis Supercross round of the 2018 Monster Energy Supercross Series, we shared a few moments with Red Bull KTM Team Manager Roger DeCoster and learned more about how the team was notified and what the next steps in the process are. Surprisingly at that point, the team had very little contact with the FIM in Europe and there was no clear information from the FIM officials located in the United States. DeCoster told us that KTM’s legal department had only two business days to file an appeal and that because the team was notified late Thursday evening, Friday would be counted as one of those business days."
"DeCoster also told us of a clause that is in every Red Bull KTM racer’s contract that is in place to keep them from using a banned substance. Should a rider test positive for a substance and be barred from competition, they are required to pay back KTM all of their earnings from contracts."
Question: "A lot has been said about Aldon's program, because it's very regimented and everyone is doing or taking the same thing, like how Aldon is a big proponent of MindFX. It's not like Broc is doing something different than anyone else is.
Answer: He is doing the same things. The guys that work with Aldon were tested the same day also like Marvin was tested and Zach was tested. That was the biggest test that they have done in the number of riders, I think. They are all okay, so you would think that if one did it, they all would have it."
DMAA is why one would choose that over another that doesn't have it.. Otherwise, why buy it?
My old neighbor can't keep any version of his DMAA products in stock, no matter if its DMAA, DMHA or any of the other versions.
Non DMAA products don't sell. There is no point.
In that industry, if anything, it would list DMAA, and Have nothing but Sugar!
I would have gone by Richard.
I agree, deep caa-caa. I also know a couple of Paralympic Gold Medalists and their view on cheaters is along the lines of “shoot them”.
But races are held every weekend pretty well, Olympics every 4 years. Big dif.
This will not be positive for anyone, but maybe the penalties will be re-evaluated for MX.
A-Rod made some dough after testing positive. I know, apples and oranges.
