new question

I am training hard to race next year and I even talked to my boss
about time off to do some of the bigger races I read about in those
links you posted for me, like the Altoona one. but now I leanred
about something else. it seems they do a lot of drug testing in this
sport, so I wonder if the homopathic medicine I take for my allergies
will be a problem. Can someone tell me. I have to take it so what
would I do?

First I need a list of all the things you put in your body. Thanks.

Here's a hint: normal homeopathic preparations are so extensively
diluted that you are essentially consuming unmeasurably small numbers of
the putative compound.

So you have nothing to worry about from the drug test.

The part where you think you have to take this stuff, well, that's
another story.

what I did was have myself drug tested so I would know for sure that they
did not have anything bad in them.

Never mind homeopathic preparations, I of course went straight to the
alcohol proscriptions.

http://www.wada-ama.org/rtecontent/d...07_List_En.pdf
(page 10)

Good news! Alcohol is prohibited only for in-competition use, and only
in a very restricted set of sports.

Alcohol (ethanol) is prohibited in-competition only, in the following
sports. Detection will be conducted by analysis of breath and/or blood.
The doping violation threshold (haematological values) for each
Federation is reported in parenthesis.

€ Aeronautic (FAI) (0.20 g/L)
€ Archery (FITA, IPC) (0.10 g/L)
€ Automobile (FIA) (0.10 g/L)
€ Boules (CMSB, (0.10 g/L)
IPC bowls)
€ Karate (WKF) (0.10 g/L)
€ Modern Pentathlon (UIPM) (0.10 g/L)
for disciplines involving shooting
€ Motorcycling (FIM) (0.10 g/L)
€ Powerboating (UIM) (0.30 g/L)

If I've calculated correctly, these are very low thresholds for alcohol.
The famous .08 standard, widely used as the threshold of legal
intoxication, is 0.80 g/L. It's fun to speculate on why powerboaters are
allowed to be a little more drunk than pilots, who can be a bit more
drunk than karate fighters (clearly, it's banned there due to the
dreaded "drunken master" style).

Notably, cycling isn't on the list! Woo hoo! Cyclocross is saved! And
notably, Geoff Kabush, who after an early flat or something at Star
Crossed, was seen taking "hand-ups" in the beer garden as he rode out
the race.

Anyone want to explain why, however, Boules has an alcohol prohibition?
I don't see Bocce pulling that sort of thing. The French should know
better!

We had a cross race a few weeks ago in a park that was being strictly
enforced with a no alcohol policy. Many communications were sent out not to
bring any and it was highly stressed at the event that any alcohol use would
automatically stop us from using the park in the future.

I think that we made it but it was close. So many riders are used to
drinking beer at cross races.

As in archery they want to prevent the tragedy of
a wayward missile. Can you imagine the carnage
should a boule find its way into the spectators?
They would be falling over like ... well, like
things that fall over a lot.

Why?!

1. Pour in plastic or paper cups.
2. Have a ground clean-up crew for after the race.
3. Arrange to be in the vicinity of good public tranportation or hire
some extra coaches yourself.
4. Perhaps announce breath tests at the car park after the event.

And don't forget to only sell beer in spots that also sell bratwurst
and burgers. It helps you, it helps them.

I recall some Canadian Snooker player who had a degenerative nervous
disease who thought alcohol suppressed the symptoms, so would drink
beer during his matches. OK, I just looked this up, his name was Bill
Werbeniuk, he died in 2003 at the age of 56. Anyway, alcohol was
eventually banned in snooker, but he managed to get a medical
dispensation from his doctor:
