With the rampant use of PEDs in professional cycling as well as other professional sports, it seems likely that many triathletes are using PEDs. Are triathletes not tested as much?
Yep, not tested as much. Since there is less money in this sport, there is also less of a reason to cheat.
Sadly, it makes me wonder about me top age group competitors that have “almost” unbelievable times. But I have no time to waste worrying about what someone else may have done and frankly, my results against others is just not that important (important-sure, but not that important)

Where do you get that?? It just seems like cycling is tested a lot more, but out of the 180+ riders, they test about a half dozen or so each day, that’s not very many, and it’s just a lot of the same guys day after day. Most riders never get tested, because most riders don’t win, and there are only a few random. It’s probably not too much different in a triathlon, but as far as out of sport testing, I would guess they are very similar…If not, how did Tim Don miss 3 tests in one year??? And running is about the same. I ran a local marathon once, and they tested the top 5, and 5 more at random of the top 15…I got 13th that day and got tested… SO I don’t know how you can say cyclists get tested more…Triathlon ws actually a leader in testing pros back in the 80’s. I had out of season tests back in the late 80’s. As a group, us pros voted to have the most stringent tests and guidelines out there… I’ve been out of it for awhile, so now it’s just what I hear, but it’s been going on a long time…
Age groups get tested not at all and I’d bet there’s just as much use in that bunch.

are you nancy pelosi’s secretary? i haven’t heard such a crook of shit since whenever she opens her mouth. maybe you meant that bunch in SF being all the druggies in the door steps?

OK, but we are talking about pros here…That’s another topic…
What is a crook of shit? Some dude who runs around stealing crap?
There have been many rumors about AG use for awhile. Maybe pull your head out off the crook?

OK, then I agree with your first response.

Gotta live up to my reputation as a MD-hater:-)
If I look at the top ranks in triathlon AG racing, there are quite a few MDs.
It is likely this has only to do with the general demographics…but I have wondered now and then how they just appeared/disappeared in a flash.
it’s always the back of the packers that try to bring the leaders down (ie moats). you should go out and train alitte, get out of your cubicle, you might learn something about triathlons. then again, SF nope won’t happen
I guess I was just thinking about us age groupers. I never hear about age groupers being tested although I am sure they are. I hear a lot more about testing the age group cyclists than I do age group triathletes.
My worthless opinion is from what I hear talking to my limited group of friends. I never claimed to be an authority.
Richard, are you a little pissed since the astavita didn’t do anything for you?

BTW…Just how many times are you going to change your screen name? Guess you didn’t get slowman’s memo on how that is a no-no.
