    I don't give a rip who uses methylhexaneamine. It's just a token banned substance that WADA uses to look busy. They bust people for chicken-shit little offenses and leave the real dopers alone, who pay them big bribes most likely.

    Pretty much any new drug will result in sensationalist claims about effects on performance and health risks. WADA drools over new drugs and won't miss any excuse to ban them, unless they were developed by major corporate sponsors.

    wow

    something I actually agree with Bad Wigins on

    Track fans suffer from an extreme form of denial. If multiple high level athletes got busted for the same supplement wouldnt it be safe to assume the it enhances their performance? Which is the definition of a ped. And if it doesnt help performance why are they taking it? She got busted just deal with the fact that high level track and field is riddled with cheaters.

    It is probably a masking agent.

    methylhexanamine is not a substance that should be used with athletes. It is very much like ephedrine and gives a considerable advantage to those using it.

    just being doing some research on this and read that it can be listed as 'geranium oil' in some supplements, does anyone know how much truth there is to this? thank you.

    USADA has been educating the American athletes thoroughly on this the past few years. It's a stimulant in GNC-type, over-the-counter supplements. A lot of foreign athletes have been getting caught with it, probably because they don't have the sort of education we have. If they're taking GNC-type supplements that promise to "boost performance" in some way, where there's smoke, there's fire.

    Slightly off-topic, the 16 year-old Nigerian winner of the women's 53KG weightlifting tested positive. 16!

    If nobody on this board speculated on Mutola's looks why would we speculate on her looks?

    Probably due to ineptitude of coaches rather than an effort to cheat.

    So she basically failed a test for something that's no more stronger than caffeine

    Then why are so many sprinters getting busted for it

    Are they all going to take the risk for something ineffectual

    Anyone who has ever raced 400 knows that anyone who comes on like gangbusters at the end--like Montsho--is immediately suspect of something illegal. The race just doesn't work like that if you're clean. Same thing applied to 800.

    I agree, coach d posts some really stupid sh1t sometimes.
