I sometimes question why our pros can't take the same supliments we as non pros do? DHEA and other over the counter drugs that relieve aches and pains that we simply pickup and pay for and take with our morning coffee. When GNC comes out with new a new recovery pill or recovery drink we are free to try it without worry if it contains a banned substance that may or may not have anything to do with our performance.

We watch TV and understand we can get a blue pill that makes us feel like we did when we were young and we take it, because we want to feel like we did. But if that pill makes a pro rider feel like they did as a junior they can't take it? Reminds me of when I used to sail in PHRF. When everyone knew a full batten sail would inprove the the shape of a sail we were told we couldn't use it to race. Yet sportsmen not racing could use them and their sails would last much longer than ours and made them better into the wind. If it isn't against the law for the average citizen it shouldn't be for the pro athlete. Just my opinion.
