Great read shows that James was cheating and knew it he should have been given a life time ban
Well that's a really interesting way to take that informationGreat read shows that James was cheating and knew it he should have been given a life time ban
How did I know you would say that. I would take it as he didnt think a script for ADD drugs wasnt an issue and said no. Or maybe Suzuki told him not to worry about it. Or maybe he lied. Who knows, but what they didnt say is they have the right to give him 12 months instead of 16 and didnt just so he couldnt race MX. Could have been 24 also. Obviously nobody thought he was cheating like you say John259 or he would have not gotten ONLY 16 months from the test date instead of 24 months from the last race date like they could have also. He wouldnt have granted him a TUE after the fact if they believed he was cheating.Great article. #6, 8, and 10 are interesting. James is getting what he deserved. I believe at the time when he said NO he knew he was taking something else performance enhancing, and the Adderall is a cover up.
We need performance enhancing drugs out of all sports. And when a big time guy is taking them, that is a HORRIBLE example for the young riders coming up.
I still don't get it... NFL players like Gordon get caught with Mary Jane Wana and are back on the field before the ink dries on the suspension paper, while JS7 fails to list taking a prescription drug and his ban from the sport is longer than someone using illegal drugs not including legalized States
Read #6. My guess is James NEVER had a prescription for Adderall until October, because he had to go find a doctor to say he did until October. James was probably taking something else, and used the Adderall to try and cover it up. Cheater got caught.
Not true. You can have a prescription for Aderall. That's the easy part. You can get that if your persistent. So can I. A TUE is much different. You have to PROVE that you need this to function in everyday life. Aderall has a TUE exemption, if you go through the right procedures. The reason there is so much red tape is that WADA has said that it is a human sports enhancement product. But they grant an exemption in EXTREME cases, and it's hard to get.
Now you might need a prescription for testosterone. Just to live. But that has no exemption or TUE. Therefore, if you need testosterone to live, you can't race. End of discussion. The rules are very, very clear.

Man if only that mxa column was a thread on Vital. . .
