Okay.
Moto: Hobby. You take the chance of harming your body.
Drugs: Not a hobby. They are harmful to your body.
Moto: Take the chance of harming your body for the amazing high you get while riding and racing.
PEDs: Take a chance of harming your body for the ultimate high you get while being the very best you can be while riding and racing.
assuming PEDs actually improve your riding.
Shoot up and send it billybro.

LOL not a good look for me
Also, I agree. Bad look for you. Stay off the roids bro.
About Anthony West, he should've checked WADA they do the drug test for the FIM and are always up to date. Then he would've knew that his pre-work-out drink wasn't legal and there wouldn't be any problem. A. West blames his sis, the FIM for the website not being up-to-date. But he could've found the rules if he wanted.
About Broc Tickle, he checked positive for the same product then Anthony West, so the chances are that both used a pre-work-out drink or some other product from a firm that uses "5-methylhexan-2-amine" as energy booster. And for a professional athlete drinking a pro work out or something that you aren't sure about isn't always smart.
A theory I have is that he knew that 5-methylhexan-2-amine was legal on "non game days". So that he used 5-methylhexan-2-amine as energy booster to come through the hard training days with Aldon. But that due to a illness the 5-methylhexan-2-amine from the trainings week stayed in his system till his Saturday evening. Using it as extra help on training days isn't illegal. Like you can read on the link I embedded. Just search: 5-methylhexan-2-amine.
So instead of saying: I didn't used it, he could say I used it as extra energy booster because training with Aldon wrecked me. And then go on a search with some medics and his lawyers what illnesses slowdown your kidney and liver function.
Now the thing were we CAN BLAME the FIM! They should've handled all this cases already a long time ago, and not WADA but the FIM should do, or help WADA in doing the sentencing. Because like already said by others here, we aren't a Olympic sport so 4 years isn't really based on something in our sport.
Where does your definition end? When it becomes illegal? Well, that is also just an arbitrary classification that could change in the future. Technically, at one point in history, heroin was perfectly legal.
Half the crap on the banned substance list isnt actually some major performance enhancer. Ibueprofen isnt going to give me the same advantages as sticking a needle full of EPO into my butt, yet they are both illegal.
Its naive to think that the world is a static entity and that our knowledge of science/athletic performance wont increase to where we know that certain substances arent actually bad for you in the long term. I mean, it wasnt until the last decade or so that we realized concussions are reeaaallllyyy bad for you. We used to brush those off as a simple knock on the head.
JS7 being banned for adderal was stupid.

In a professional sport, I don't give half a shit if someone uses PEDs. They know the risks involved and its their health/life they are potentially putting at risk.
Pit Row
You’ve already got families mortgaging everything for a ridiculous shot at a ridiculous sport with so little chance of real sustained success even if you “make it”, you think they wouldn’t be tempted to jab little Johnny with the juice? Fuck that.
As for PEDs, I think that the "banned" list should be products that have significant health risks, not just anything that makes you perform better. To me, the reason for banning a substance should be because you don't want others to have to risk shortening their lives simply because one of the competitors is willing to in order to win. As someone said earlier, there are already plenty of risks in racing without subjecting the riders to more of them.
It’s the penalty system that needs to be fixed. Quick fair adjudication enough to discourage cheats but not damage a career beyond reason.
It's the judicial system that needs fixing,
It is giving an advantage. Most of these things arent probably as safe as they are led to believe. Additionally, they are a quick fix, a shortcut, to be better while competing. The long term effects cant truly be judged for years.
Say they make them legal and the latest and greatest drug/supplement comes out, what happens when it costs too much that only the elite racers, say top 3 or top 5 can afford it? Then there is an even bigger advantage for those riders over other riders, not to mention privateers, that cant afford said PEDs.
I was raised to work hard for something if i wanted it. At what point in time did we decide that cheating and taking shortcut was acceptable? Probably when the pussification of Americs came along.
Billy, get a grip on reality. Or better yet, start taking allthese supplements and get back to us in 30 years and let us know how you are doing.
Momma give me my medicine,
Momma give me my medicine
THAT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A TALL TREE!!!!
If I'd known of epo in 2000 I'd slammed it like a lance on alpduez just to race 40+ at LL
