Fwd: [RC] Drugs and Riding - fei - KIRSTYWISCOMBE

Hi
I'm a British rider competing at FEI level and broke my leg 10 weeks ago therefore I'm still using painkillers. I was given a website address were you can type in what you are taking and the sport you are competing at and it lets you know what the restrictions are, The website address is  http://www.uksport.gov.uk/did/ you can type in the country you are competing for as well

yes there are doping checks on riders - and yes they make you pee in something with an FEI doping control agent present. The organisers have to provide a proper place to do this....
 
the funny thing we've had a great laugh about here in France is that the rules state that the rider has the right to choose his or her favourite recipient to pee in
 
 
soo... I'll let you all ponder on what recipient you would choose haha ( Bruce I'm sure you have some ideas on this you'd want to share with us?)
 
Pauline (who's happy to pee on the trail in full sight of other riders but who'd dread doing this locked up in a small cubicle with someone checking my aiming skills)
 
ps my fave treat midway during a ride is a strong cup of coffee and two advil and a choc bar before hopping back on- feels soooo good

"Perhaps some of the medical experts on this board can peruse the prohibited
list and comment on whether Alleve and other medications mentioned in this
thread fall into "no-no" category.  Also, would any FEI competitors comment
on their personal experience at FEI rides?  Are there serious attempts at
doping control?  Do they really make you pee in the cup? :-)"
