Re: Dwain Chambers

Id did work experience in a WADA testing lab during my pharmacology degree and the athletes are years ahead of the tester. The proffessor running the labs said they were basically ****ing in the wind! for every 1 tester there 10 guys working on how the athletes can get around the test's not only by altering parent compounds so they dont know what they are looking for but, tweaking times of dosings and the addition of other drugs even chemo therapy drugs that massively increase drug clearance rates or mask a certain compound. When i was working in the pharmacology feild many people gave advice and drugs to athletes at all levels from club upto olypimic,and it seemed that everyone was doing and so in reallity i doubt there really is many cheats, as there is already a level playing. What dwain and Victore have revealed drug regime wise is old, now theres far more emphasis on insulin, aswell as compounds that
regulate the inflammatory responses to training. Although it is unlikely they'll find a test for GH anytime soon but beacuse of the recent focus on it alot of athletes are becomeing nervous that they will do soon so are looking at other things. Alot of the
strenght athletes are looking more and more into ways at suppressing cortisol aswell.

I say either increase the amount of testing so that there is no way for them to duck and dive as victor put it(this has alowed many to use compounds that we bodybuilders do) and make it one strike and your out rule(miss one test your banned) or simply save the money currently wasted on test and let them take what ever they want. If that happend i doubt there'll be very little increase in performance anyway
