  1. According to cyclingnews Schumacher turned up positive for a
    psychoactive drug related to amphetamines which only a dope would
    believe wouldn't show a positive.

    Is this a case of whacko chemistry or did someone spike his water
    bottles?

    is that a multiple choice question?

    I am pretty sure that this is related to Cat, Catamin (sp?). The drug
    made famous during the Somalian famine/UN action. I'm I right?

    Actually I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is with the testing people.
    UCI rates this stuff as a performance enhancer - very well, but perhaps it's
    time to start putting out actual numbers because trace amounts of suspected
    performance enhancers are beginning to show up all over the place.

    You can go into some nightclubs in San Francisco, someone in the place
    lights up one of those new age doobies and you test positive on the
    Commercial Driver's License dope test and have your livelihood taken away
    even if you run out right then.

    Exactly what sort of people believe that they can get performance enhancing
    from amphetamines and not test positive? Don't they understand that modern
    testing methods can show one part in a billion? They can tell you if your
    diet is lacking in anything in particular.

    Yeah Cathimine it comes from a plant called Kath if memory serves. It's
    psychoactive and I can't imagine anyone taking something like that to
    produce performance enhancing since it would probably induce hallucination
    in high doses.

    This would have been useful to know the other day when I was actually
    IN SF...

    (lots of riders on PCH, which is still good to see)

    A certin NZ track rider tested positive for amphetamines after
    (allegedly) partaking of Ecstasy in a nightclub between heats and
    finals. It would not surprise me that some similar mix would show up
    in modern-day "party pills".

    Hey did the Tour start yet? :-) Love the Orange County Choppers/Lance
    ad on Discovery...

    Stimulants never left. You take amphetamines in combination with
    dope that helps you recover. It cranks your training volume way
    up. This guy probably had some super hard training rides leading
    up to the race and got caught by misjudging the detection window.

  8. Would that be one of those Nightclubs on Castro street? I did not know that
    you frequented those clubs, Thomas.

    cathine is a stimulant, i think it might be a metabolite of something
    else (pseudoephedrine ?). this is what phil zajicek tested positive for
    in a chinese stage race.

  11. are we talking about vitamin K, like a k-hole?
    I do remember a pro cyclist telling me he dabbled
    with this stuff - for recovery. weird stuff, like
    techno trance rave party type stuff.
    this german shumacher must party.
    it's LCD style stimulant.
    what drugs DON'T cyclists take?

    They're bike riders. The same that will try to convince anyone who will
    listen that the drugs found in their possession were for their
    dog/mother-in-law/aunt/pregnant wife/pregnant husband/all of the above.

    As far as I know the FIA doesn't ban pilots from taking boosters.

    very funny, but this is Stefan Schumacher, not "Schumi"
