Used correctly, cocaine could let you train harder and more when you want to and weed could help you recover better and longer when you need to.

Cocaine is detected up to three months.

Impressive considering all of the battles Mark and Dave and Tinley and all of those guys had at IMFL.

Depends on which test protocol is used.

Lionel Sanders is a Canadian.

I assume you left out the pink font.

No on his worst day he is probably only 1.5 times more talented than most of us.

=)

If it's true that he was doing drugs while he was competing in running how is it different from "cycling" doping? All recreational drugs are on the banned list so if you want to be technical about it... yeah, he doped.

Sure, but you'd think that anti-doping agencies would do it the right way, no? Then again...

Lionel Sanders is a Canadian.

Canada? I thought Kentucky.

I have to wonder about some of this.

Ross Rebagliati was caught with traces of marijuana in his blood after after winning the Gold Medal in the dual slalom snowboarding event. Think about it for a second - would a drug, that slows your reaction time as well as rendering other negative effects on the body and the CNS, be looked upon as an ADVANTAGE, in an event where you are hurtling down an icy slope at 50+ miles/hour, having to make split second decisions and pushing muscles to there limits?


Just saying. Just asking.

"The few studies that exist suggest that little to no performance gains are incurred from cocaine and its amphetamine-like properties. Cocaine is notable for distorting the user's perception of reality; for example, an athlete may perceive increased performance and decreased fatigue in the face of actual decreased performance in both strength and endurance activities. An increase in heat production combined with a decrease in heat loss associated with cocaine abuse impairs the body's ability to regulate its temperature during physical activity."

False. Used correctly cocaine would give you absolutely no interest in triathlon whatsoever.

Every time I read his name my mind converts it to Colonel. And then I want fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw and a biscuit.

Challenge New Albany: Tubular ripped off the rim
WildFlower: Seat post dropped

This guy always seems to have an excuse or complaint for so many of his races...I've started a list below, please add to the ones I have missed:

Kona 2013: Tainted Perform drink.
Kona 2014 DNF: Was on crutches at 70.3 Worlds. Whines about people not taking lie detector test after his DNF.
Challenge New Albany: Tubular ripped off the rim
WildFlower: Seat post dropped
Oceanside 70.3: Sick leading into race
IMFL 2013: leg cramps at 10km

Can somebody please have a WAMBULANCE ready at IMFL for this guy? He's already whining that Lionel Sanders has an unfair advantage from his drug use in the past.
