Pos. Drug Test

Scott Hendricks said:

I, for one, am shocked! I just read on cyclingnews.com where a female mountainbiker failed a drug
test at a recent NORBA event. Positive for THC.

Did anyone know that (some)mountainbikers smoke pot?

I find it hard to believe that being stoned during a MTB downhill event could be considered
performance enhancing.

i wonder if thc could in some way actually be performance enhancing... some researcher somewhere has
to have done something on this...

amphetamines can improve concentration... race car drivers take them... mountain bikers should also
take them to improve their handling skills.. it seems that under the new WADA rules they can get
started in that direction with
pseudoephedrine!...

maybe THC puts them at ease , clears their mind, gives them one-ness with the forest, trees, rocks,
and dirt so that they can navigate the courses by feeling the "cosmic vibes"... a guy i know swears
this is the key to fast road descents...

but then again, CHRIS DAGGS always seems like he is high every time he opens his mouth and he
sucks... BTW daggs i am thinking of moving to SD- we can start a ride from hillcrest...

or maybe she just smoked a 'J' w/ some friends as opposed to the performance-enhancing effects of
THC. i've never smoked but i've never seen any evidence that would make it performance-enhancing,
more along the lines of reducing/relaxation. one thing about downhill, the munchies don't catch up
with you, in fact they may actually help (force=mass x acceleration).

You sleep better the night before a competition. That's it, I'm sure.

Only chick MTB riders smoke pot...

The half-life of THC is pretty long. It could show up a week or more after smoking it (depending on
a number of factors).

It can be detected as long as a year after use. Fat-soluble.
