Check out your drug at www.globaldro.com. More than likely, the medication is allowed out of competition with a medical necessity and doctor's prescription, but not in competition. I think that can be managed if disclosed properly. As I remember, Landis was taking steroids for his hip in the TdF that he tested positive. However, somehow the doctor prescribed steroid was disclosed and approved. There is a procedure and paperwork to file. And all USA cycling licensed riders are subject to random drug testing where the USADA can show up at your house anytime and demand that you pee in a cup.

Not withstanding all that dribble, I am so happy you are back to cycling. When I first read the walker post my heart sunk and I had a very bad feeling. You are a very tough guy and I knew if anyone could recover, you could. Congrats on the race but more importantly getting better.
