Townley was very close, but his best laptime was not as good as Carmichael's best.
RC: 1:54.695
BT: 1:54.763
By the end of the race, RC's laptimes were over 2 minutes. Laps 13-18 (the last five laps) were all over 2 minutes. So, your "proof" that he is using PEDs is that his laptimes dropped by 6-8 seconds PER LAP by the end of the race?
Seriously, that makes no sense.
Nerd I don't know you so I don't know if youre just being a dick by asking over and over what a PED is or you really don't understand?
If seems self explanatory but maybe I am wrong...
a ped is a lot of things. Anything that lets you manipulate your body to produce way over what it's capable of doing on it's own.
I would not classify a IV as "ped" but do I think its a big advantage yes? have I done it? yes. If I had to again would I? You bet! I thought the Iv thing was a little more hush hush than it seems to be really...
I read claims of hgh being restored to natural levels... are you kidding? a 24 year old should be fine with what they have and also their natural testosterone level.
Would they benefit from using those drugs? HELL YA. I'm just saying to claim its okay to use to get back to your natural levels is not a good excuse at all for some kid that is in his prime in is his mx career. We arent talking about a 50 year old man that might have a legitimate reason to use the stuff.
In my eyes the only time they should be allowed to use hgh is after an injury. It helps all involved imo. The fans get their rider back on the track sooner. The rider their self gets back on the track sooner and it can help build the injury back better and stronger.
A few IUs a day for a month isnt gonna turn ANYONE into Mark Mcguire... It would lean them out some maybe... but what its for is to help you heal and some injuries are harder to heal from than others. If a dr thinks you need and and writes you a RX for it than who are we to judge. It happens everyday. That's the only time I will say HGH should be legal.
It's abuse wont stop though. It can make you stronger but at low dose like anyone that knows what they are doing in mx should be doing will MAINLY help with fatloss and the MOST IMPORTANT Recovering. So you can continue to bust your ass every day at a high level threw you boot camp or whatever it is youre doing.
sorry I always get carried away and say more than I intend.
this whole FIM vs AMA debate is toast with regards to the topic of this thread.
Should be, yes. But they aren't always. Would you agree that head injuries are common in MX? Of course you would.

Hypopituitarism has numerous potential causes, and it is becoming clear that traumatic brain injury (TBI), including traffic accidents and sport-related injuries, is commonly associated with pituitary dysfunction. Mechanisms of pituitary damage after TBI include direct injury and vascular problems, and more recent research suggests that autoimmunity may also be involved. There may also be a genetic influence, as the E3 allele of the ApoE gene may provide some protection from post-traumatic hypopituitarism. Studies suggest that patients with mild or moderate TBI are likely to recover pituitary function over time. In patients with severe TBI, however, adrenocorticotrophic hormone and growth hormone deficiencies may persist. Patients who experience TBI should, therefore, be followed up carefully and evaluated for pituitary dysfunction to ensure that appropriate hormone replacement therapy can be provided if needed.
So, if you hit your head and suffer a concussion, it's common for it to cause problems with how your pituitary regulates your body's HGH generation. Hypopituitarism can also result in decreased testosterone levels, as well as many other essential hormone issues. And hypopituitarism can be caused by head injuries.

The average kid racing in the lites class doesnt have to restore their hgh levels was my point. Almost all drugs have legit use somewhere besides abuse to get a edge on competition.
I quit racing at 19. At that time, I had been KO'd 7 times in the 10 years I had raced. I don't think this is a very uncommon thing. Do you?
I can really only speak for myself. My career is now coming to a end at a young age. I've been knocked out Atleast 5 times and I think I've raced fine since. Other injuries is why I can not race. I'm not claiming that almost everyone hasn't been knocked out atleast once but I think less people have the issue that you are claiming. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. Hell for all I know I could have that !
And if you're not making a normal amount of HGH, for example, think about how much harder it would be for your body to heal from other injuries. "Other injuries is why I can not race." Maybe, if your HGH was at proper levels, those other injuries would be better. I don't know what those injuries are, but what if?
See?
