Weiss is being investigated doping!

Triathlons have been about overcoming the odds, a chess match that is played differently every time for each athlete and having the perfect race is tough. You have read about it in every sport, but when you are competing in that sport you feel cheated, all the work and then someone who you might look up to get busted it hurts. 

Well NADA, Austria’s National Doping Agency, has announced that it is investigating Austrian triathlete Michael Weiss for doping. Weiss won the the inaugural Ironman race in St. George, Utah, hey at least second place can feel better about how they could be beat. 

I guess every sport has it cheaters. 

CERA in the Olympic Games

New drugs, records broken and athletes still getting caught. Something has to be done and at this rate the only option is legal or non legal. Check this out from Sports Scientists
Six Olympic athletes, including 1500m gold medalist Rashid Ramzi, have tested positive for CERA, the latest generation EPO hormone, which was made famous by Tour de France cyclists (Ricardo Ricco primary among them) last year.

When Ricco was caught, we did a post explaining CERA, and speculating that maybe some Olympic athletes would be jumping for cover now that a test had been developed through collaboration between anti-doping agencies and the pharmaceutical company that produced the drug for medical use.
