We were amongst the first to receive the results of the report earlier this week and the findings were interesting to say the least. What is evident is that cyclists’ themselves feel that drug testing alone is not an effective anti-doping deterrent and that a greater emphasis should be placed on doping prevention, education and awareness – something we have long since publicised.

The study also found that a large number of cyclists consume supplements yet there is marked lack of knowledge relating to the risks associated with consuming such products. All athletes must be urged to check the properties of any supplement they choose to ingest to reduce the risk of unknowingly testing positive for a banned substance.

The study also compiled results between male and female attitudes to doping in sport. It found that males were more willing to use banned substances than females. It also revealed via the study that athletes were most willing to use banned substances if they thought they could get away with it and also if their funding or contract was under threat at the time.

The overall findings of the result point to the fact that education, awareness and ethical sporting behaviour are paramount in the choices an athlete makes if faced with a decision to use banned substances. It also shows that the role of a coach, mentor and/or role model are highly influential on an athletes behaviour. Overall, the majority of cyclists who took part in the study showed negative attitudes to doping and the health risks associated with using banned substances.

The author of the study, Lisa Whitaker spoke to us today and echoed our thoughts, “We’ve known for some time that drug testing alone is not 100% effective in deterring athletes from using banned substances and that education is key if we want to prevent doping. Not only does this study provide evidence for that, it also highlights specific targets for education. Many athletes who may be contemplating doping are not subjected to doping tests, therefore education is the only way to reach these athletes.”

Lisa continued, “Conducting research of this nature is often difficult but thanks to those who helped promote the study like Bike Pure, the study has been successful and raised some interesting findings.”

We have long championed that education and awareness are key factors in the fight against doping, not only from an ethical sporting sense but also from a health perspective. If young athletes can be educated at a young age regarding sporting values and the dangerous side effects associated with using banned substances, this solidifies their attitudes to anti-doping and will assist in them making informed ethical decisions as they develop into mature athletes. More stringent education coupled with tougher sanctions are a major deterrent in the fight against doping.

Thank you again to Lisa for producing the study and contacting us with reference to its findings. The full study can be viewed here.

Would you agree that the majority of cyclists don’t stretch regularly enough? Should we?
Yes you should, it helps prevent injury and helps the body adapt better to training. It is also a nice time to relax and take time to chill after a hard training ride, improve muscle balance and improve performance.

If we wanted to get lower position on a time trial bike, what would you recommend stretching?
Time trailing really pushes your body to the limit with such extreme positions and injury is a real concern, especially for those who race the longer distances. The neck, back and glueteal muscles all endure a heavy work load. It is therefore essential that these muscle groups remain strong and recovered, helping to push your body to the limit. Effective muscle groups coupled with an efficient and effective pedal stroke will help you achieve faster speeds and remain injury free.

It is essential to stretch the following muscle groups:-
Neck – (Sternocleidomastoid)
Serious stress on the neck to keep solid position from the top down, holding the head in a flexed position to keep you more aerodynamic and streamlined.

Back – (Erector Spinae)
Helps you stabilise the spine and also prevent vertebral subluxation. This muscle is responsible for keeping you balanced on the bike and is essential that it remains strong  to produce a powerful pedal stroke. To strengthen this muscle you will need to train this particular area with stretching to recover post effort and training will be essential so to help increase power/efficiency.

Back (Gluteus Maximus)
This is the area where nearly all your ‘power’ comes from when time trailing. Keeping this muscle supple and avoiding tightness will in turn help transfer all the other working muscle’s actions into power through the pedals.

Should I stretch before or after training?
I would recommend post training, but this depends on a person’s history of injuries and is also age dependent. Some people may need to stretch as part of a heavy warm up plan when undertaking strenuous workouts. It’s difficult to make this a general answer applicable to everyone.

Thanks to Stephen Gallagher and Dan Fleeman  @forme coaching

NB: Contracted muscles can cause a gradual loss of muscle elasticity as well as an overall decline in flexibility of your joints, both of which can lessen your range of motion and pedal power. Stretching may increase the flexibility of the joint up to 10-20%.  Flexible muscle groups have increased strength, therefore increasing pedalling power.  Poor flexibility also makes you more prone to strains and pulls.  Incorporating a regular 10-15 minute stretching program will help you become more adaptable and will prevent injuries.
Stretch your major muscle groups to increase your core flexibility.  Stretch slow and gently, holding for 15-20 seconds.  Avoid bouncing or jerking when stretching that may cause micro tears in the muscle and actually reduce your overall flexibility.

We had a brief chat with former professional and Tour de France rider Adrian Timmis. Adrian runs Cadence sport but is regarded in the UK bike scene as a ‘guru’ and great coach. Adrian coaches young riders with lots of potential and uses Bike Pure to illustrate the belief and glory of ‘riding with pride’

A few answers stood out:

In days gone by days, this was the time for the pub, but modern thought is to maintain a level of fitness. What do you recommend for a road racer?

You can still enjoy yourself in the winter months, but the winter is where you can improve your fitness, I don’t mean getting race fit, that’s what you do in final peaking for your goals, i.e. intervals and or more racing etc., I’ve seen a huge benefit in building your threshold engine through a couple of sweetspot sessions a week (sub threshold) over the winter, before you start specific race training, these benefits will stay with you for most of the season, then using specific race training when peaking for something, I see people improve there threshold on avg 10-15 watts over a month through sweetspot training, so most people can add 30-40 watts over the winter, then they start race training.

Is cyclo cross racing a positive influence to a full road season?
I used to like doing a few over the winter when I was road racing, but I couldn’t have done a full season of cross, i think it makes a change doing the odd one.

We were also told Timmis is one of the best bike fitters around. A young pro rider who was dialled in by him on his new bike at the start of the season said “He seemed to have combined an understanding of the body, bio mechanics and pedaling stresses”

Train in Spain:

For over thirty years one of Ireland’s biggest and most traditional cycling clubs, Banbridge CC has continued to produce and develop Irish champions, International and Nationally successful riders at all levels, including Olympians. This success has been attributed on a large part to the commitment the club has to ride fixed wheel winter bikes.

For most people reading this article they will associate fixed wheel with velodrome/track racing, or even the very origin of the bicycle. Under the guidance of club coach Gerry Beggs all riders young, old, male and female have been encouraged to ride fixed wheel winter bikes. These bikes would have been very inexpensive, kitted with mudguards and heavier than the normal run of the mill bike, put together with the minimum of cost and effort, and as a result require the minimum of maintenance.

Gearing would be selected based on the riders age and ability generally most in the club would have ridden anything from 42×18/17 aprox 65-67”. With his traditional approach to cycling and training Club coach Gerry, has coached numerous Irish road and time trial champions, with many of the successes in the TT ridden on fixed wheel. Sadly, such feats will no longer be possible after the UCI decided that this was no longer a good look for cycling, rather than anything to do with safety.

In 2003 I became the first person in Ireland to break the 20 min barrier for a 10 mile TT an Irish Cycling landmark achieved using a 95” fixed gear and a record that stood for 8 years. John Grant and Sean Downey would follow suit, the latter proving he could also win TT champs on gears having won the u23 championship this year.

Why fixed wheel?

We have all read on the net or in magazines about the latest new gadget to help you go faster, get fitter, lighter equipment etc but all at considerable cost to your pocket.

However they all miss one crucial fundamental requirement of cycling…. the ability to pedal fast and to pedal efficiently.

Having been an international coach for now last 6 years I now fully understand the reason behind Gerry’s persistence with the fixed wheel.

Of the numerous coaching courses and conferences I have attended all emphasise the fact how important cadence and pedalling efficiency is and the simple facts are that:-

• Fixed wheel is a perfect training partner
• you never have to free wheel
• you cover every single km/mile
• it will train you to recruit strength to ride up hill at 60-70rpm and train you to be relaxed and smooth when having to pedal down hill at 170-190rpm
• it removes the dreaded dead spot
• gives you a fantastic core workout

Spend one winter on fixed and I guarantee you‘ll improve your pedalling efficiency.

But what is pedalling efficiency?

Pedalling efficiency is the ability to pedal at a cadence that enables you to deliver power as smooth and as evenly as possible, or as I like to call it pedalling in circles.

Everyone is different depending on their muscle type and their  training or previous sporting background.

However you can test for your optimum cadence by a very simple test:- maintain the same speed/power on different gears steadily increasing your cadence until you see were your heart rate starts to really rise similar to that seen in a  threshold test. This would be your current efficient/optimal cadence.

As with all elements of cycling this can be trained and improved, but as a general guide for most people optimum cadence is between 95-105 rpm

But efficient cadence does not just refer to cycling alone, I constantly hear multi sports coaches talk of high cadence/high rate for the one simple common factor its reduces the amount of contact force or torque being applied.

To simply understand torque for those old enough to drive, if you give the car too much gas and release the clutch too fast the wheels of the car spin wasting valuable power, likewise for those non drivers if you want to pull the perfect wheelie on a bike if you create too much power/torque in the first few pedal strokes you wont be able to control the bike and will come off the back wheel.

It all boils down to “pedalling in circles” those that have worked with me will have heard me constantly harp on the importance of this one skill which fixed wheel riding will certainly train you to do.

It’s the importance of following the pedals through the downward stroke, pulling up right over the top of the dreaded dead spot in one continuous circle meaning you’re in control of the power you’re applying the whole way through the pedal stroke.

Simple drill

A simple training drill which can be done to improve this one element is an isolated leg drill, which consists of pedalling with one leg for 30secs leaving the opposite leg as a dead weight in the pedals. You should aim to pedal in a full circle as described above, then repeat with the opposite leg. Perform this exercise 2-3 times with each leg before returning to pedalling with both legs, the difference will be instantly noticeable.

For me, fixed wheel has been something Banbridge cycling club and I have been brought up with, something I will certainly continue to recommend.

Had it not been for the influence of Gerry Beggs perhaps some of the names listed above may not have been as successful, and for this I say thanks Gerry.

For those interested in a little further reading I have included a piece I found on the net with a little history on the fixed wheel.

History of Fixed wheel
Fixed gear bicycles have become the ultimate item in urban chique. Messengers glide effortlessly in and out of traffic in a show of defiance and freedom among lines of cars chained to the grind of the daily commute. Fixie bikes are simple and elegant, with clean lines and a genuine beauty which springs from their lack of complexity, stripped to the bare requirements of pedaling, steering and rolling. And they are becoming more popular as more people discover the joy of riding single speed and fixed gear.
Single speed riding requires a different kind of approach. The fixed gear does not allow you to coast. In fact, going downhill can be hard work. The cog on the rear wheel is bolted directly the hub so that your pedals must go at the same speed as your rear wheel. This also means your pedals can be used to slow down the bike, and the ability to pedal backwards make the impressive track stand you sometimes see messengers doing when the traffic lights are red.
But where did the fixie come from? Some of the first bikes ever were fixed gears – look at the Penny Farthing, and you will see that the pedal cranks are connected directly to the hub of the front wheel. Before the advent of the derailleur, which allowed bicycles to have gears, single speed bikes were the only race bike available. And they were big news in the sporting world. In 1876, Madison Square Garden was built to accommodate a velodrome racing track. Bike racing on the original fixed gear track bikes attracted huge crowds and turned bike racers in to stars. In fact, bike racers back in those days could earn almost $150,000 per year compared with a tradesman’s salary of around $5,000. One of the best known events in the sport of track racing was the hour record where world riders would pit themselves against the clock in an attempt to ride as far as they possibly could in an hour. Some of the greats of the sport have held the hour record, including Francesco Moser, Eddy Merckx and Miguel Indurain. Graeme Obree successful record attempt on a homemade fixie, partly made from old washing machine parts, was made the subject of the movie “The Flying Scotsman”.

The halcyon days of track racing in the U.S. are perhaps behind us, although the sport has enjoyed a resurgence of interest as an Olympic sport, and more nations are putting resources into track racing. But the legacy of the fixed gear bike is alive and well.Some of the features of those old track bikes, you might think, make the fixie less than ideal for riding in an urban setting, as opposed to riding indoors on a banked track, with no traffic or pedestrians to contend with. Others disagree. Fixie riders who ride without brakes have to anticipate their next move much further in advance than their free-wheeling colleagues. Fixie riders talk of the feeling of Zen-like peace and flow as they become as one with their bike, flowing through the streets and cars of downtown. Others compare riding their fixie to a game of chess, anticipating the movement of the traffic as a chess player would anticipate the moves of his opponent, and reacting accordingly. In any event, the history and the evolution of the fixie has moved on to accommodate the needs of every rider, and in particular the urban rider.

Fixie bikes are probably best known for their uniqueness and variety. You will see track bicycles in the city with their dropped handlebars, but you will also see machines with flat handlebars, bikes with brakes and bikes without brakes. Experience fixed gear riding for yourself – it really is an entirely different style of riding and transport that allows you to feel very connected to your bike. Whether you choose a track bike or an urban machine, you too can get the feel of cycling on one of the oldest and best established types of bicycle – a form of cycling that is as enjoyable today as it ever was.

The effects of psychomotor stimulants are not unlike those of sympathomimetic amines. They increase heart rate, respiration and blood pressure and generally heighten the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. These drugs also affect the brain so that the athlete feels more alert, confident, and perhaps even euphoric. Consequently, psychomotor stimulants may lead to an improved athletic performance, more through their psychological than their physical effects; however, apart from increasing endurance, the benefits of these stimulants on athletic performance are limited.

Amphetamines have a role in medicine, especially in the treatment of hyperactive children and of narcolepsy.

In addition to the dangers of a physical and psychological addiction, they generate many adverse physical and psychological reactions such as insomnia, dizziness, tremors, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, sexual impotence, and possibly amphetamine psychosis. Deaths have resulted even when normal doses have been used under conditions of maximal physical activity.

Beta-2-Agonists
These medications often are used in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory ailments. Like ephedrine, they can have stimulant properties. Currently they are banned when taken orally, but their use is permitted in aerosol or inhalant forms. Examples of these medications include metaproterenol (brand names, Alupent and Metaprel), salbutamol or albuterol (brand names, Ventolin and Proventil), and terbutaline (brand name, Brethaire).

Narcotic Analgesics
Narcotic analgesics (painkillers) may produce a sensation of euphoria or psychological stimulation. They also may increase the pain threshold so than an athlete may fail to recognize injury, leading to more serious injury. These drugs have been banned by the International Olympic Committee.

Not that the nonnarcotic analgesics such ass aspirin or the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have good analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions and have been useful in treating minor injuries. These drugs are not currently banned. But if you race at a high level, be careful that a narcotic such as codeine is not included in combination with another medicine such as aspirin; not only for your personal health but for the possibility of a positive test and a destroyed career.

If you are unsure about any medicine or prescribed products you may be using, be sure to check all substances on the WADA Prohibited List or check directly with your National Anti-Doping Agency. A list of the majority of national anti-doping bodies can be found on our website here.

China is paramount within the cycling industry, boasting a huge market for bicycles as they still remain a popular means of transport for the population. China also boasts more than 1,200 registered cycling clubs and some active professionals who compete around the globe.

Last years event attracted more than 16,000 visitors and with 12,000 square metres devoted to the Bike Show section it’s sure to provide China’s large cycling fraternity with lots to do. Exhibitors will include manufacturer’s from China as well as around the world with the MTB and leisure markets attracting huge interest.

Bike Pure are donating 1000 wristbands that will be handed out for free at the event to visitors and members of the cycling industry, spreading the Bike Pure message of honesty and integrity. Bike Pure’s Andy Layhe said “We are delighted to partner such a prolific event in China’s cycling calendar. We continue to see the cycle sport grow and it’s vitally important that it is seen in an optimistic manner. By aligning our message with the event, it sends a strong message to the cycling public that the sport can move forward in a positive manner.”

The event will also include many additional features rarely seen at a cycle show. These include an ‘Industry Forum’ where market leaders and guests can discuss future market trends, a fashion show and a Test Centre where visitors get to test exhibitors and engage with their products first hand. The Nanjing International Expo Centre will also carry free wifi access to all visiting.

We wish to thank the organisors for their help and we wish them a highly successful event.

We have interviewed three athletes suspended for Winthrop use in recent years who both said this was a key influence in the drug choice but, the major pull factor was ease of access due to the on-line pharmacies.

The drug was legitimatly developed  to treat  low blood counts that are a result of bone marrow failure It can also be prescribed for swelling due to an inherited condition.

Despite its relatively low potency, stanozolol is still commonly abused, in part due to its reputation for being a “safe” steroid. While stanozolol does not have the more dramatic or obvious side effects seen with many of the highly androgenic steroids, it’s by no means safe. In fact, the published record of medical reports suggests stanozolol may be one of the most dangerous forms of steroids to use  even when used under medical supervision.

Not only can Liver toxicity  occur with the abuse of winstrol, but the drug can also cause joint pain, tendon damage, the development of breast tissue in men, acne and water retention. But blood clots and death have been recorded by athletes and body builders abusing the drug for artificial muscle growth and increased red blood cell production.

Stanozolol is usually considered a safer choice for female bodybuilders in that its anabolic effects predominate over its androgenic effects, although virilization and masculinization are still very common even at low doses.

The drug has been used in both animal and human patients for a number of conditions. Veterinarians may prescribe the drug to improve muscle growth,  increase bone density and stimulate the appetite of debilitated or weakened animals.

Warning signs requiring medical attention:

Signs of liver toxicity include a darkening of urine, vomiting, abdominal pain and skin or eyes turning yellow.

Below is a list (thanks to the www.dopinglist.com) of some of the athletes whose lives, sporting career and health have been destroyed by Stanozolol last year alone.

It’s the morning of Day 1 of racing here at the World Track Championships in Apeldoorn, Holland. It’s a frosty and chilly morning at 2 degrees and the vibe within the Aussie camp at breakfast was one that is ready to take on the world!

Well it’s time to get moving, and think about killing time for the rest of the day until I race at 8.35 tonight (ECT).
Live coverage of the racing will be on Eurosport from 7pm onwards (5am AEST).

In its role as an anabolic agent, HGH has been abused by competitors in sports since the 1970s, and is banned by the IOC. Traditional urine analysis could not detect doping with HGH, so the ban was unenforceable until the early 2000s when blood tests that could distinguish between natural and artificial hGH were starting to be developed. Blood tests conducted by WADA at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece primarily targeted HGH.

Enhances athletic performance in the following ways:

body fat percentage decrease

growth stimulation

muscle definition enhancement

muscle size and strength increase

muscle tissue repair

protein synthesis increase

All very attractive to the athlete looking to steal an advantage over his fellow competitors…….until you investigate the very real side effects:

abnormal body changes

acromegaly

antibody formation

arthritis

brain swelling

cardiomyopathy

congestive heart failure

coronary artery disease

Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease development when drug is produced from cadaveric specimens

diabetes mellitus

diabetic (hypoglycemic) coma

facial nerve paralysis

forehead and jaw shape change

hand enlargement

heart enlargement

hypercholesterolemia

hypoglycemia

hypothyroidism

impotence

menstrual irregularities

metabolic dysfunction

myopathies

osteoporosis

Last year Kirk O’Bee (USA) received a lifetime suspension for abuse of the drug, but it has also been detected in track and field, bodybuilding and tennis in recent months.

What is most disturbing is how easily it is available to the public over the Internet. One of the highest Google ranked hGh sites will sell the drug to anyone regardless of age, usage or health. But we can see it obviously affects mental capacity as well: The headline in their site boasts

“We Ship To All 141 Countries”

What all of them! Perhaps a lesson in ethics and responsibility would be lost if they fail nursery school geography.
