Things must be bad when you use that as an excuse.

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Things must be bad when you use that as an excuse.

[quote]Olympic and world 400m champion LaShawn Merritt failed three successive drugs tests between October and January.

His lawyer Howard Jacobs claimed in a statement that the positive tests were caused by Merritt's "use of an over-the-counter male enhancement product".

Perhaps he should try pole vault?

But on a more serious note, I thought athletes were entirely responsible for what they took, whether OTC or prescription or whatever. So if your pack of cough sweets had a trace element of a banned substance, then tough. Ditto e-numbers in food.

Surprised his lawyer even tried that defence.

If you are 5th from last, as was Li Fuyu and get tested, somebody knows something, or his not been keeping his payments up to date

His positive is from Dwars door Vlaanderen, which finishes 2km from my house, and I have ridden pretty much the entire course... So i'd take 5th from last knowing how tough it is, a finish is a finish. Drugs or no drugs.

Agree with what your saying, more me being cynical as to why would he be tested.
How you fairing ?
