Signs of the Apocalypse

[Packers]

Thought you guys might find this amusing/interesting...In this week's Sports Illustrated weekly "Signs of the Apocalypse" piece, an Argentinian tennis player blamed his failed drug test on his hairloss medication.

Argentine doubles tennis player Mariano Hood admitted he had been using finasteride, a drug to avoid premature baldness and which is banned in sports.

"To me it is an everyday matter. Since nine years ago I have been taking treatments to avoid baldness. On this time I have had 15-20 anti-doping tests and nothing went wrong," said the player who tested positive in the French Open.

Hood, 32, said he didn't know the drug was banned by the professional men's tennis body ATP.

Nonetheless, he said he does not believe there is a plot against Argentina in the face of the large number of cases reported in recent years, and considered a "coincidence" that many of his compatriots tested positive in doping controls.

He told local dailies, El Clarin, La Nacion and Ole that he is innocent, alleging "I never wanted to take a sports advantage: finasteride by itself does nothing."

Hood has won 13 doubles titles and had been ranked 20th in 2003 in doubles.

Possible testosterone issues ?

I used to use some Nizoral before a cycle race, because homos pedal faster if they can see the bum of the guy in front, just my 2p, don't want to start a flame war with a bunch of queens.

Cycling in england is bullshit. No mountains.



French people are known for using their anit-doping tests and results for their own interest.

See the tour of france every year polemics. They always show a possitive on an italian or spanish guy, while french riders (that are extreme crap) can be drugging like Kurt Cobain and still race free as the wind (that comes out of a granny fart).

Still, no french rider is doing nothing for twenty years, except for the (curious racer) Laurant Fignon.

Every year, even before race start, or tennins championshio start, or whatever, they publish in the sport press (first page) a list of players that they consider suspicious for using drugs, just for the mad pleasure of sitting a bad rep.

Remember, a french always loses becouse rivals are cheating.

The nice thing is France always lose. They are good at nothing these days.

Yes.


Cycling in England is only a sport if you practice it with no sofa (i.e. just the vertical bar) and nizoral dripping down the helmet.

Hmm I saw a small picture of Mariano Hood in the magazine and it didn't look like finasteride was working all that well. :?

 

[HairlossTalk]

arent Propecia and Procerin the same thing?

noob.

Merck used the "abidas" technique: took advantage of Procerin's huge success and clinical proof to name their product in a similar way attracting the crowds of uneducated hairloss sufferers.

Disgusting...

without any double blind controlled studies I have a hard time believing this. although I'm high right now, so this could certainly skew my interpretations of your post.
