Brilliant description D.

He always reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall when, right at the end of the film, he ends up with Rachel Ticotin on the surface of Mars, fighting for air.

Info picked up from watchinhg cycling over a number of years...

Nominated cyclists have to report to the doping testers immediatelytheu cross the finishing line and are chaperoned from the end of the race until they are tested.

This was not always the case and cyclists used to be allowed to return to the team buses. It was stopped because it was considered that only a few minutes was enough to take masking agents that might allow them to pass the doping tests.

Football doesn't have the same intensity of testing as other sports or the same amount of testing, it would only take a few minutes in the dressing room or the urinal to do what is necessary to pass a test.

The rules are there for a reason and players and club officials know this.

The actions of the rags players, whether it suited their own personal agendas or not was wrong and they would have been well aware of that.

When I'm tested there's no chance of just doing it when you want, and rightly so. I don't protest, regardless of what I'm in the middle of and don't hold any grudges as it's part and parcel of what I do.

Let's face it, the 'picture' bollox is just that, bollox. Problem with people like Phil the Face is that they're so far up their own arse that they believe they can do what they want. He wanted his glory for sitting on the bench, nothing more, nothing less, and probably realised it was the best he was gonna get looking at his own record of 'so called injuries'. I do wonder though, we now have evidence of players taking drugs but the authorities not notifying it because it may harm the sport; were some of Phil the Faeces long injury lay offs really down to injuries?

Also, The Blind bastard was actually found 'Non-Compliant', what the fuck does that actually mean; did he do CamelGob?

At Beefy, I'm intrigued what work you do as to why you are "tested", similarly any other posters?

I know Picc's as a train driver will be subject to random tests, I'm just intrigued what other professions are subject to such tests (outside of sports)?

I agree 100% that if asked or there was a protocol to follow for my job, I would make that my priority, if not for my own professional standing, but fear of losing my job. I think it was John68 who eluded to other sports where regulations are far stricter and rightly so imo.

On a 'quis custodiet ipsos custodes' basis, do the drug testers themselves have to be tested for drugs ?? :? :? :roll: :roll: :oops: :oops:

This chick was sat in front of me at the Spurs match, I could help but laugh at her and all the rest of the depressed Spuds booing a man for having some ambition. I made sure to tell them how stupid they sound as well. Ask the guy next to me "When you get an offer for a new job with more opportunity for advancement, do you turn it down?" He stat down and shut up real quick.
