ugh....

Methylhexaneamine?

Lulz that this is what they got "busted" for. Pissant little party buzz does not belong on the WADA list anymore than cannabis does. Prolly got it from a 2 dollar 5 hour energy drinks at some truck stop cash register

The trademark Geranamine is currently owned by Proviant Technologies. Methylhexaneamine is also a constituent of flower oil, sold as an integral component of nutritional supplements

However, it turns out the drink has geranamine in it, which we later found out is a banned substance. I don’t know how we were supposed to know this, but I am not using my ignorance as a defense....."
(I left out the mandatory apologies to couch, asstro and how this will benefit the "community")

I've never been one to believe in conspiracy theories but with all the BS that comes out of HQ, is it possible that these two are just sacrificial lambs to avoid having to publicize wider and/or more serious violations ?

Hard to believe that I once admired some of these people (except Castro) and now I can't accept anything they say at face value and suspect ulterior motives first.

No shit. 6 months for a drug test result? And the andro babes still aren't on any andro?

This is total sacrificial lamb stuff, I agree. Patsies, probably taking the fall to get back into HQ's good graces.

I saw those comments too. Not on the list, but you're still held accountable.... when it's not listed.

What do they have to sacrifice anyone for unless Reebok caught wind of the drug allegations and other issues of bullshit swirling around HQ, Dear Leader, and all the other cronies that make for constant lulz? Corporate America requires a certain amount of sacrifice, usually by those who won't actually benefit from it. I guess this is no different.

I laugh at this drug test. I mean they test positive for a fucking energy drink when there are numerous roided up people all over CF....

Almost seems like a joke

What next, someone gets stripped of their medal for jaywalking?

sanchezero · Post by **sanchezero** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 3:23 am

jesus christ! jaywalking is a serious offense and a grievous threat to public safety. i applaud anyone willing to take a stand on this issue.

friedquads · Post by **friedquads** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 3:33 am

Sure is a serious offence. You get punched in the face for that.

The Gaymes are laughable. Always have been, always will be.

As I've mentioned, behind the big curtain in 2009 there were a few people in white coats that were there for a couple of hours, and a few people peeing in to cups, but let's just say that the testing and controls were less than rigorous. If 40% of the contestants peed in to a cup I'd be surprised, and there was certainly no careful supervision of what went on in the bathroom, and no careful matching of the sample to the contestant.

This is a single (later) post from that CA thread that was already posted, it should be read.

Guido doing C&Js at Monster Beach…

These guys are putting up two WaDs a day, usually with 5 minutes rest between. Has it gone from a sucker born every minute down to 30 seconds these days?

Jay · Post by **Jay** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 2:27 pm

Quack, not only do they not rest enough, I like the early pull as well.

@fit - producing more injuries than rugby.

Shafpocalypse Now · Post by **Shafpocalypse Now** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:14 pm

100% injury rate in his box, according to a level 1 trainer whom PMed me.

Labram tears
Spinal injuries, including herniated disks.
ACLs and meniscus tears

It's not "if" it's "when".
