So in essence the die hard "no drugs" group want to see a complete ban on any potential performance enhancing drug be it whether the enhancing is the main or secondary side effect to a pre-existing medical condition which the medication is required (for arguments sake) Would this then not discriminate against those like Wheeze, Paula and several footballers who I know of, and under the discrimination act it cannot happen?
You will be calling diabetics next, because the insulin helps their metabolism.![]()
All bona fide asthmatics I know (I know a lot of them) would not class having a potentially life saving drug like salbutamol as taking drugs, and if you start tarring Paula and others at the top level, then it will have to be carried right through sport to the grass roots. There are levels set and would say they are sensible levels. There are some drugs that are (quite rightly) Zero tolerance rated. Mistakes happen (the skier comes to mind)
I load myself with Caffeine, but am still waiting for its beneficial effects!!
