Designer drug doping disaster?
Earlier today, our national media reported of an expected future, but still
rather imminent, huge doping scandal in particularly US and UK athletics, because new methods of testing have shown clear presence of a brand new designer drug called something like THC or THK in numerous blood and/or urin samples taken from especially US athletes during the last Athletics World Championships earlier this year. But the only individual who has been named so far, is a very famous UK sprinter, but I do not remember his name just now. Some say here that this might ultimately disqualify all US athletes from participating in the Olympic Summer Games in Athens, Greece, next year. This is of course the "worst case scenario", and could very likely happen to some UK athletes, too, obviously. |

THC is the active ingredient in marajuana. It's neither designer nor new. I don't think it's possible to [ob]snowboard without it. -- //-Walt // // The Volkl Conspiracy |

At least one of the players in the current World Series are scheduled to testify before some sort of Senate committee about these. They talked about it a little bit last night. There were something on the order of 20 players in the 4 major US professional sports set to testify. They mentioned some from Baseball and Football but I don't know who. What's odd is that there have been cases of new drugs, like LSD, that weren't illegal when they first appeared because they had never been considered. Will the Olympic Committee have to make new rules for these drugs and *make* them illegal or are they already illegal under some sort of blanket rule? pigo |

The drug involved, a steroid, was and is illegal, it was just undetectable 'til very recently. -- Chris *:-) Downhill Good, Uphill BAD! www.suffolkvikings.org.uk |

Disqualify all of the cheating sons-of-a-bitch and let the clean athletes get the medals they deserve. (Read that one carefully - it does not imply that all US athletes are cheating sons-of-bitch...) The drug is THG, and the word I hear is that it was designed by a supplements lab in Calfironia in conjunction with several (as yet un-named) elite athletes and coaches. The big names I have heard that have been called to testify are Marion Jones and Giambi (NYY). This doesn't mean that they were part of the conspiracy, but certainly implies that they may know something pertinent. Tune in to CNN for the latest in unsubstantiated rumors... |

Will the Olympic Committee have to make new rules for these drugs and
*make* them illegal or are they already illegal under some sort of blanket rule? pigo The drug was THG - (Tetrahydrogestrinone an anabolic steroid) and the UK Sprinter was Dwain Chambers European 100m Champion. Apparently they are testing samples taken earlier in the year with a new test for this up to now "undetectable" drug. And yes it is illegal under current rules. RG I'd rather be Skiing |

Apparently they are testing samples taken earlier in the year with a new test for this up to now "undetectable" drug. And yes it is illegal under current rules. Thank you for clearing this up. It is probably THG just like you say, because it is an anabolic steroid, and definitely not marijuana or THC. An, again, yes, correct, the name of the famous UK sprinter is indeed Dwain Chambers. Again, thanks. Yes, it is a former "undetectable" drug, but now luckily highly detectable, it seems. |

As you surmise, they are illegal under one or more blanket rules, similar to the one that simply bans all forms of blood manipulation.

... Earlier today, our national media reported of an expected future, but still rather imminent, huge doping scandal in particularly US and UK athletics, The media here report today that one more well-known US athlete is caught using the designer drug THG, after his/hers blood/urin sample has been reanalysed, using the newest available test methods. His or her name has not yet been revealed here. All of our own samples will also now be reanalalysed. |
