UCI Banned Substances?

The main link to the list is not functioning on my computer. I am using Mozilla, anybody else having this problem. The page just comes up as a blank white background, but the browser says it has finished loading. I am assuming it should open in Acrobat or something, as it has a .pdf file extension.

Thanks for the link though.

The first link is an acrobat file with the WADA rules for all sports. It opened fine for me just fine. Perhaps you do not have the acrobat reader set up correctly in your browser. Try right clicking and save the file to your hard drive, then open the file. I used to have problems with pdf files in Mozilla.

The second link is a link to all the UCI rules. Anti-doping rules are part XIV of the UCI rules. The WADA rules are a subset of part XIV and are linked on that page, too.

Ok, I got it to open in acrobat. Thanks for your help.

It turns out that CEE is not on prohibited. My next question is whether or not I should try using it as a supplement during my weight lifting sessions this winter.

Here is my situation:
Currently I eat about 3000 to 3700 calories a day (depending on activity/how hungry I get), including up to 200 grams of protein. I usually get about 43% to 55% of calories from good complex carbohydrates, around 30% from protein, and the rest from fat (fish oils, olive oils, EFAs used in cooking mainly). I do not consume very much red meat (usually 1-2 servings a week), instead choosing to get protein from dairy, nuts, fish, and some poultry.

My off-season training consists of 30 minute to 2.5 hour stationary trainer workouts at or above 65% MHR, with intervals and recovery time mixed in. I do some resistance training about four times a week, with an emphasis on lower back, abs, chest, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves (cycling specific muscle groups generally.)

The problem I have is that I need to develop a quicker sprint by next spring, and bulk up a little bit, as the races I will be taking part in will be very flat, and require more power over the last 1-2 km than I have had to produce in the past. I am currently 19 years old, 5'10", 134 lbs, and will be racing cat 4/5. I want to know if training with CEE during the off-season, and then tapering off of it completely for race season would be beneficial, and if anybody has done this. Pros, cons, am I crazy for even wondering about it? :o (I kind of feel guilty for asking/being curious about it.) Namely... does anybody have a good workout plan to achieve such goals without using a supplement such as CEE?

Thanks for honest opinions!
