Would the Average Person Fail a Drugs Test?

[I like Skol]

Is porridge a banned substance? It certainly enhances my performance

 

[Hip Priest]

I have never failed a drugs test.

Thank goodness it's not. Best thing as a base for long days, nice slow release energy. Add in eggs, rice, chicken, toast, honey in good quantities, lots of good coffee, and ready for the days exertions on any race. Provided it's 2-3 hours before start time!

Is it worth mentioning here that the UCI banned substances list includes alcohol?

Interesting. Is that during competition only or out of competition as well?

I've turned up to an Audax with a hangover before, but fortunately AUK isn't under the auspices of the UCI.

I do! Oaty pancakes are a favourite in our house - just make a standard pancake batter but with oats instead of flour. And add diced bacon for extra yumminess.

There is probably some clarifying statement hidden somewhere amongst their typically unclear documentation re. this.

In competition only.

All British Cycling licence holders are signatories to the UCI charter, so theoretically could be tested. Doesn't happen in real life though. I can think of at least one race that I have taken part in while still partially inebriated, and things like the Rapha Cross actively encourage participants to drink while competing.

Interesting question, I've been wondering something similar recently: Does anyone know off-hand whether asthmatics with a normal, salbutamol inhaler would fail a drugs test?

 

[Hont]

Pretty sure you'd need a TUE for that.

IIRC that's a definitive yes

Google is your friend

''All beta-2 agonists (including both optical isomers where relevant) are prohibited

except salbutamol (maximum 1600 micrograms over 24 hours) and salmeterol by

inhalation which require a declaration of Use in accordance with the International
Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions.''

 

[Rob3rt]

Yes, you need a medical exemption for those as far as I know.
