Young Riders Pressured To Dope
Anyone know of any stories of young cyclist being pressured to dope, not to just make it but actual executives of teams or clubs?
I am specifically interested in EPO cases. Also if you know of these cases how do the young riders get away with not testing positive for EPO now that there is a test protocol? thanks Brian |

Re: Young Riders Pressured To Dope
But do coaches etc pressure the younger riders to do this? How is it broached?
What CAT does it start at? Juniors? thanks B |

Re: Young Riders Pressured To Dope
There was an article about this on cyclingnews (i think?) and there was huge pressure to dope, as some Jr's have already been caught.
I doubt the team managers do it. I bet the rider convinced Dad that everyone does it and they need to find a doctor that will do it for them.

Re: Young Riders Pressured To Dope
Hallo from Italy, this is my experience.
In Italy (it's the place where I live) the trend is very similar. In particular, when I was a Juniores (1999-2000) there were many troubles with est-europe athletes: the teams caught them from their countries, they offered them a place for living in Italy (usually in 2-star hotels), and they practiced systematic doping on them (nandrolone, etc etc). The controls were uneffective and very rare. The riders could not oppose to their director's will; the alternative was to go back to est-europe to starve... when the italian federation (FCI) discovered this situation, forbade to italian juniores + under 23 team to have more than 1 stranger (this situation is the actual one). |
