Why is gh freak banned

I like to stay in shape. Getting back from a long trip in the rural areas after holding a football clinic for children, he received word that he had tested positive. As the above illustrates, Gilbert does not appear to fit the profile of an athlete who would take prohibited substances to improve his performance. Arguably, he does more to promote sport in one year than many FIFA executives do in a lifetime.

One of the underlying principles of the World Anti-Doping Code is a level playing field — that the Code is equally applicable to all. However, for the last four years, the media spotlight has illuminated how those in charge of anti-doping failed to deal with organised doping, even when they were continually notified about the problem. Rightly or wrongly, the message that this has sent to athletes is that the playing field is far from level. Tony Blazejack and Kurt Clabby are two examples of low level athletes that appeared to have good explanations for their AAFs, yet for differing reasons received four year bans.

There are many other examples of amateur athletes who have been sanctioned with the maximum ban after not contesting a sanction. There are also many examples of successful athletes who have come to settlement agreements with anti-doping organisations. The fact that we cannot name them in this article underlines the problem. Rich athletes often have more money than the anti-doping organisation ADO attempting to sanction them.

ADOs cannot risk undermining the anti-doping testing system through losing counter lawsuits launched by such athletes, so settle with them instead. It would appear that the current anti-doping system is set up to punish athletes who do not have the means to defend themselves.

They often do not have the resources, energy or inclination to fight back, and the announcement of a four year sanction can serve as proof that an ADO is doing its job. If you do have the means to mount a defence, it would appear that you can buy your way out of trouble. Another principle of the anti-doping system is that once a doping sanction is served, an athlete can return to sport. However, the indelible stain of doping is not so easy to clear.

For an elite athlete, this is less of a problem. Books recounting their doping experience often sell well, and TV interviews and speaking engagements can keep the money flowing in even whilst the sanction is being served.

Amateur athletes are hit by a double whammy. They often cannot find a job due to their doping record. The Sports Integrity Initiative has been contacted by many athletes pleading for articles relating to their spent sanction to be removed, as such articles are affecting their employment prospects.

The costs of defending yourself against a doping charge can also be severe. Rio Olympic weightlifter, Sonny Webster, spent his life savings attempting to discover the source of an ostarine AAF.

He is likely to now face a battle similar to that faced by amateur athletes sanctioned for doping, as his four year ban means any sponsorship money he might have received is likely to evaporate, and he may have to seek other employment options.

Even in front of the CAS, athletes do not face a level playing field. Lawyers representing sporting bodies have expertise in such cases and are aware of any CAS judgments that may support their case not all CAS judgments are publicly published.

Lawyers retained by athletes face a steep learning curve in becoming experts in chemicals, manufacturing processes, laboratory protocol, and more. He can do what he likes in a private setting as long as it is not hurting anyone else but he was competing and just because it is not the top level of the sport doesn't mean it is ok to cheat.

The other people he was racing against who raced clean are in the same age category and didn't feel the need to take a pharmacy worth of drugs to feel normal. Normal for someone over 50 is to have to take care of their body, to take longer to recover and to be slower and less powerful than they were at 25, that's why we have age categories.

He's 52, leave the guy alone, I more interested to see if it worked! My thoughts exactly. Dudes not trying to make any money. He is ruining his body and the experience of the others for no benefit just so he can feel like a badass beating other 50 year olds. At least the tour de france cheats make a fortune out of it. I would watch it People have zero understanding of PEDs on here obviously.

Steroids will not kill you, they will not make you unhealthy and if used properly will improve your life immensely. The problem is similar to illegalizing abortion, once you start some back alley medal services, people die. The guy at the gym selling you a dufflebag of horse pills isn't the same as a doctor.

What goes up must come down. It's only a question how long it takes and how hard you crash. RonSauce : ok man. SterlingArcher Apr 23, at Imagine being banned from masters amateur racing RonSauce : "Steroids will not kill you, they will not make you unhealthy and if used properly will improve your life immensely.

Using them 'correctly' for most people seems to be like dancing on the edge of a razorblade. And further, do we really want to create a situation where every person feels like they need to learn how to use steroids correctly in order to compete? I once accidentally registered and raced in Sport. Patrick : Suppose I'd be pissed if I was racing against him. But the reality is A lot of the stuff he's getting tagged for are available in over the counter supplements.

They should just let those dudes take wtf ever they want as long as they're not in pro class. And yes I agree. It is wack to cheat in competition. So I suppose I won't disagree with this or your last post. If you want to take all that shit go ahead. Just don't race. I kind of feel the same way in other similar discussions. Take what you want RonSauce : Username checks out. GAQ Apr 23, at Patrick : ever heard the saying, "If you aint cheating you aint tryin!

Especially at his age. Patrick : None of those drugs are gonna help him in racing. Sure, but look how big the guy is, based on his Instagram. That size is going to be detrimental to racing. Size isn't nearly as much of a detriment in DH racing, and especially in the shorter regional DH race courses that don't require as much cardio endurance as, say, mont St.

The added upper body strength, however, would absolutely be an advantage against other non-juicing 50 year olds. But that's not to say that it was ONLY the substances. The guy obviously has to know how to ride a bike, as well. Dropthedebt Apr 23, at SterlingArcher : Humiliating and Emasculating are the names Cyril uses around the office for you and Mallory At least that's what Pam said.

Dropthedebt : careful SterlingArcher :. RonSauce Apr 24, at Acting like steroids kill is comical though. YouTube is full of fake experts. There are plenty of people on different forms of hormone therapy that have their quality of life greatly improved. I stand by my previous statement, "YouTube research" is as good as back alley treatment. Once again for the people in the back, just because you have a YouTube channel doesn't make you any sort of expert. We're talking about two completely different things.

Dude is 52 and using 10 different drugs with zero doctor oversight and he isnt dead is he? Imagine with proper oversight. Plus, who said he wanst getting his drugs on advice from a professional? RonSauce : I didn't say they were deadly. Did you see the list? If a professional doctor was gearing him up like that, he should probably be identified and have his license removed. They just took the word of an anonymous tip.

He had to fly to Norway for arbitration. Now who has that time or money? No blood or urine test? Not one comment about how he could be innocent. I'm sure it's possible but not likely.

He wouldn't have admitted guilt if he was innocent. Patrick May 4, at There was no reason to admit guilt if he wasn't guilty. I read his statement too, it reminded me of a child with his hand in the cookie jar or any defence by Donald Trump. Even if I did I didn't take a very big piece of cookie, and anyway someone else took two cookies, why aren't you looking at him? I would bet my money that he's a meat head who also likes to ride and race. Pinkbike will not get it, but this is not a crazy "Stack" or "cycle" for a gym rat, dosage depending, at any age.

I can't be the only one who finds it crazy that USADA spends time and probably lots of money testing amateurs. This is a huge waste of funds, over dudes getting trophies. He did get trophies and prizes though, that's the issue here.

You're right it's very clear he wasn't thinking about cycling when choosing his supplementation, but he still entered regulated races knowing full well it'd get him banned if he got popped.

On a side note, it's a bit stick-up-the-butt to say "Pinkbike will not get it" Judging by the comments, most people here know exactly what that stack was for.

It's not as niche as you'd like to think. VERY, very few amateurs get tested unless they either get reported by another racer or they file a TUE that is rejected. So what argument are you making here? Since he only taking it to be big and fit in the gym he's not a total douche? Mrstuartdavidson Apr 23, at I think it's probably more important to keep the amateur side of a sport "clean". No issue with him taking gear, issue is with cheating. What horrors! I have no problem with someone using a banned substance in an what essentially equates to a beer league with zero physical consequences, zero financial compensation and considering he wasn't even using the substances to win, he just happened to want to race while using banned substances.

Tmackstab Apr 23, at Speak for yourself, I'm gonna be 82 riding my graphene bike that's bluetooth synced to all my artificial joints and the airbag system that will keep me alive in case I crash. Until the last beat of my heart. I'm Woah woah woah! They busted him all the way back to , so he was in the highly competive Dads in Their 40s class back then. Whole other ballgame. I've still got a ways to go and I don't even feel like I'm Maybe I need some of what this dudes taking.

Dude: "Yes! Stokedonthis Apr 23, at DCF Apr 23, at Stokedonthis : too true. OK, I'll be disappointed if i find his pics and he's not an absolute unit on all that gear Obviously didn't take it to improve his riding, but rather to get swole, but oh well. Could have simply not entered sanctioned races. He's jacked AF. And seems skilled on the bike too. Just shouldn't compete in anything official. A lot of that helps with speed of recovery while training. Easier to build and maintain fitness.

It's not really helping him the day of Only thing that's gonna help him day of is a pile of cocaine. I kind of question the decision to publish this guy's name.

I mean, he's just some random guy taking a doping cocktail. How is this any different than the loooong list of people that get nabbed every day for shooting heroin, abusing prescription opioids, or running lines of blow in some restaurant bathroom? By all means, ban him from racing, but hyping this on the pinkbike front page with his name attached seems All the drugs mentioned would not help him in racing, if anything the extra muscle mass will be a hindrance.

Shame on pink bike for releasing his name and the ignorant pink bike users throwing him under the bus. EuroinSF Apr 23, at I think the issue is that he is not just some random guy. No issues with him ripping his trails doped on testosterone. But, he decided to race against others doped up and broke the rules. Racing dirty is not ok, even on the amateur level. But, there is a problem with him racing against clean competitors.

Maybe there needs to be a "racing dirty" category. Personally I would have thought long and hard before doing that. Not sure what the right answer is there. But, "dirty racer" did all this knowing he could be exposed and did it anyways. EuroinSF : Him being banned is totally fine, and to be expected. But running an article on him in the biggest mountain bike media platform with people linking his instagram completely unnecessary.

Henary Apr 23, at People are linking to his strava profile, his roots and rain results, etc. I'm sure this article will soon be the first result if you Google his name. That's fairly harsh for some random amateur that doped. I'm pretty sure there are some doping pros that got off easier.

Pffff only 10 substances? Amateur indeed These officials cant understand that hes taking hormonal transition therapy. This is why I don't race Because weed is awesome.

Damn son. Master's class getting cut throat! Oxnard Apr 23, at Fooking Vahe, no wonder you're so jacked. I think we all kinda suspected lol. There's so much wrong going on in that picture with the syringe Dustfarter Apr 23, at For one steroids are typically intramuscular injections in the glute area. Dustfarter : Any well landmarked intramuscular site will work - eg. In addition, that's a nasty big air bubble in the syringe. Injecting an air bubble intravenously can have some catastrophic results.

Peally Apr 23, at The hell is with photos of injections being the go-to for news stories even remotely related to drugs. Exactly what I want to fuckin look at when I'm perusing bike content. It's like stock mosquito images every single time a disease is in the news. Danntana78 Apr 23, at Editors should really consider not posting injection pictures for every damn article related to vaccines or doping.

Some people have serious phobias of needles and injections. I'm personally not offended but when my partner sees these photos she freakin loses it. Spark24 Apr 23, at Well, at least he can say he some sort of mountain biking record now that most pro's will never touch.

In his defense, he was just trying to channel his inner Lance Armstrong Kind of scary what some people will subject themselves to, all without any idea what the long term effects might be. You might be the fastest guy around today, and dead or wishing you were several years later Whi said he had no idea what he was doing? The long term affects of all of that is known. This dude is literally in my hood and I've never heard of him.

There have been rumors about older guys around here mainly XC using some extra help. I just bought an E-bike though. Curtoosimo Apr 23, at This comment string is exactly what I needed.

There's some gold in here. For what it's worth, I'm onboard with amateurs of all levels getting investigated and sanctioned. I'm sure a lot of us here have been soundly beaten in our amateur events by some suspicious performances and it's nice to see someone getting caught. Hopefully this sends a message to others.

Or maybe it's just sour grapes that 51 year old me I got crushed in the last Zwift race CDT77 Apr 23, at Slow news day? Why is this even an article? Of course what he did is wrong on so many levels.. Seems a bit like doxing to me.. I remember an interview with Cedric Gracia where he said doping wouldn't be worth the risk to a pro, but that amateurs are taking anything you can think of.

This guy's taking everything I can think of and then some. If PharmaFreak is not carried at your local supplement store, please visit any one of our amazing online retailers here.
