"Pot Kiwi" = Ritalin, plus pain meds. Voila!

Woah, I better give up the ibuprofen.

1.5 g paracetamol took 30 seconds off in a 10-mile trial, according to this study.

Quite an interesting piece that actually. They conclude that it might be due to increased tolerance of pain which allows intensity to be kept closer to the actual physiological limit which would otherwise not be possible due to influence from the central regulator.

Interesting this it would seem to be a good TT use and going back my article a good thing use post recovery. But in terms ethics is it breaking the rules? bar of course this idiot response by bike nz man.

He describes taking 1000 mg, which here in Norway is 2 tablets worth(normal adult dosage).

Most people take this when they have a headache.

It doesn't say what type of adhd medication he is using or the dosage.

Normal adhd dosage should not have any physical performance enhancing effects. At least not for non sufferers IMHO.

Not for me no. If it's not on WADA's list it's not against the rules. This is a substance that everybody knows and is not some pre-clinical drug like GW etc. It might be a slippery slope towards 'harder' drugs/methods, but for me personally, I don't have a problem with someone taking at safe dosages.

It could increase the chances for an overuse injury. Nothing a steroid can't fix though...

I think I remember seeing the ingredient in Tylenol (headache pain reliever) on the banned list, but at such a dose that is unrealistic to tip.

[I don't take ibuprofen often. It decreases the adaption effect after exercise, and doesn't really help connective tissue repair.]

i saw another crazy study a while back claiming a big boost from something else silly as well
can't remember what it was


team sky needs to hear all this

they could have all their marginal gains wiped out in no time if they're not careful
