It's quite interesting that when it comes to Corticosteroids it's one of those things that is very open, I remember on plenty occasions commentators talking about how this player or that player was going to get an injection to allow them to play a particular game.

spamman posted:I used to play poker with one of the head chefs that worked at the Australian Open (this would have been around '10-11) and apparently managed a lot of the food for the players. He was telling me stories about how he'd get these incredibly specific lists of food that had come from guys like Federer and Nadal's nutritionists that would be along the lines of 200g of x kind of pasta, 250g of this kind of lettuce and what have you. Apparently Murray would just come in and order three cheeseburgers and a pile of chips. I think Murray probably takes his nutrition a little more seriously now!

Therapeutic use of these drugs is to typically make up for some sort of deficiency right? The problem with using them in super-fit athletes is that they don't need them therapeutically, there is nothing wrong with them to begin with, they're looking to get a competitive edge. efb

Residency Evil posted:Seeing that doping regimen as a cancer doctor who prescribes some of these medications regularly is simultaneously depressing and impressive. I would be interested to know how some of these drugs are used in treating cancer and what the side effects in these situations are.

Residency Evil posted:The main one for actually treating cancer is anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor that we use in post-menopausal women with breast cancer to decrease the risk of cancer recurrence (Estrogen is kind of like a fuel for many breast cancers). Side effects we most commonly see are joint pain, hot flashes, and they've also been associated with a decrease in bone density. I haven't used anastrozole in men as it's not really used often in adult male oncology. thanks!

Fag Boy Jim posted:I basically agree, with the caveat that Sky/Froome's results over the last few years have hardly kept cycling's reputation good on that front either. wait is there speculation that they were doping? I figured that after the whole Armstrong affair that of anyone Wiggins, Froome and the Sky lot would be clean.

Also: Anti-doping testing: abnormal results rise by 20% in 2013 The number of abnormal test findings recorded by anti-doping authorities worldwide increased by more than 20% last year, according to a report by the World Anti-Doping Agency. There were 5,962 adverse or atypical test results across all sports, compared with 4,723 in 2012. The number of tests carried out rose by only 0.8% in the same period. code:Cyclists were also subject to frequent testing, with more than 22,000 samples analysed in 2013 - 1.2% of those tests resulted in adverse findings. However, there were also widespread adverse findings in sports without the stigma of cycling. Rugby recorded a rate of 1.3% adverse results from just over 6,000 tests. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/28194582 So Rugby has the same level of detected doping as Cycling and football seems reasonably low.
