Anyone here ever doped??
 

Come on, such a large amount of pros involved, theres gotta be people at this level doing it too. lets hear it !!!

I took steroids for my rash.

Seriously, I even asked the doc, I said "Like the ones that athletes use?"

He rolled his eyes and said "Yes, like the ones that athletes use."

Oh boy... I was acused of doping by USCF. Most of you know I am genetically male or female (XXY) but my parents wanted a boy so ... well when I was racing I tried testosterone again - with a TUE, that did not work, psychology or physically! - My T levels we a little over a genetic male for a little while anyway!

Doping is stupid - if you can not do it legal _ GO HOME!

Every day. Coffee w/ sugar, which is why you'll never see me in the Tour. Anybody know how to screen positives for caffeine?

Depends what ya mean by doping......Is being in an alcoholic haze performance enhancing?......I was feeling 'no pain'...:D

popped creatin like tic tacs 13 years ago. does that count? :rolleyes: ;)

pulling bong hits is not condusive to sports performance. they make taco bell more alluring though.

OK, I'll take the question seriously: I took a single cycle of 'stacked' (two different types) of anabolic steroids about 10 years ago during a manic bodybuilding phase in my life. I began to get puffy, bloated, and unhealthy looking, irritable, and eventually after 6 weeks of an 8 week cycle I stopped, angry at myself for f'ing with 2 years of really intense training (which had had really good results anyway, I was big as a house).

Read this a few years ago in Outside Mag. Interesting article on doping.

Does EP-No count???

Your first point is open for debate, your use of the word "alluring" just made me fart.

c'mon, Vo2 max training man!!!!!

almost every weekend

What if you were hitting while in an altitude tent?

Whoa....

anything over the counter is basically useless from a doping standpoint.


But it is a nice marketing angle

Actually, EPO isn't harmless at all if it is administered and the athletes blood level is monitored regularly. EPO is as safe as orange juice. That's the theory of Dr. Ferrari, the man who helped Lance Armstrong win so many times in the Tour de France.

I've been called a dope many times.
Does that count?

Well what is the definition? This past spring at a VB tourney I was struggling near the end of the day and someone gave me a Red Bull, never had one before and I gave it a shot. Well for sure it enhanced my performance for the next game but after that I was even worse...I am guessing that doesn't count but I sure as hell wasn't going to play as well as I did in that game without it.

Haven't touched the stuff since either...that crap really got me going in ways that probably aren't too good for you.

Does Andro count?

I cycled on & off a bunch when it was OTC. It worked for me to a certain extent.

Yes...and you beat me to it ya rat bastid!!:D :D :D

When I was a teen I used to work in a health food/suppliment store. We used to see who could do the most stimulants and maintain control. Made for some great rides. Never been exposed to any of the substances that are considered "doping".

I dabbled in the andro as well, before they took it away. It made a difference in recovery for me. I could ride very hard one day, and could ride hard the next day again, without feeling as tired in the legs.

I rode 20 km once after getting stoned. It felt like a 5 hour ride, but only took an hour.

Oh, you mean dope in a different context..

LMAO

Ah the ol' Ripping of the bong hits! Man, Those were the days!

Been about 12 years for me, to be honest, I wouldnt mind a rip either!

I wont tho

My secret to performance is chocolate ice cream.

It's probably why I'm so slow.
