That is the bit that I find so damn difficult to understand.
How hard would it be to spike a water bottle handed out to a rider with a banned substance?

About as easy as accidentally spilling a box or two of tacks on the road.............greyhoundtom wrote:How hard would it be to spike a water bottle handed out to a rider with a banned substance?

DMSO is easily available from veterinary suppliers. It's an anti-inflamatory linament (I have a rollon that I used when I played soccer) used mainly on horses. I read that during the cold war it was mixed with cyanide and then put on a steering wheel to permanently nobble someone.Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when an Oregon Health & Science University Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system. In medicine, DMSO is predominantly used as a topical analgesic, a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals, as an anti-inflammatory, and an antioxidant.[13] Because DMSO increases the rate of absorption of some compounds through organic tissues, including skin, it can be used as a drug delivery system. It is frequently compounded with antifungal medications, enabling them to penetrate not just skin but also toe and fingernails.

I think I've seen enough of 'pitching tents' on those adverts to drive me nuts, same as Swisse and "Ryan Murphy WIIINS!!!"clackers wrote:You must be loving the erection medication ads, too, Marto. Take a pill and your house and garden go topsy turvy around you!Marto wrote:
Sad, when the Gabriel Gate cooking segment is the highlight. I'll go nuts if I have to sit through the Swisse ads for much longer.
It's a shame that drugs have overshadowed the Tour once again. But it seems to be a select group that it happens to so far.

You'd be surprised, Jules. IIRC, Christopher Hitchens wrote a book that exposed her as a 'fanatic, fundamentalist, and a fraud'.jules21 wrote:how come mother theresa never tested positive?
Blood doping was about the only thing she didn't do, apparently!

I must confess that I am not aware that Agnes had history as a bike rider - must have been before my time. Which team did she ride for ?

the riders with clean records - they never seem to be 'poisoned' or eat dodgy beef.
