The 'whereabouts' rule catches out pro tennis players too
It's not just pro cyclists like 'Chicken' Rasmussen who have trouble pin-pointing where they will be, apparently some pro tennis players are location-challenged as well...
Malisse and compatriot Yanina Wickmayer, the US Open semi-finalist, were both suspended by the Flemish Doping Tribunal (VDT) for failing to comply with the "whereabouts" rule, which ensures that they are available for out-of competition testing.
Keisse cleared of probable pseudoephedrine-related charge
Put this one in the 'I told you I had a cold and took a symptom-reducing tablet' basket. (Cathine can be found as a by-product of pseudoephedrine breakdown.)
The doping charges against track rider Iljo Keisse were dismissed Monday by the Belgian cycling federation. Keisse tested positive for cathine and HCT during the Six Days of Gent in November 2008 but it was ruled that there was insufficient scientific evidence that he knowingly used doping products.
Began the journey in Enmore, Sydney, Oz; drifted tectonically north after a bit to see trees and breathe air. Learnt about global warming in 1975, believed it by 1989. Warned my parents that Woy Woy would go under the waves, hasn't happened yet - but by gosh it will happen some day! Really old now, was young once. Read a few books, got too many ideas, a camera and a bike (or 10). Serial owner of Italian cars; made sense at the time. Intense. Distracted. Collected wife and kids along the way. Work in IT, because I can. Still ride and race bikes. Not overly optimistic. Live on a hill, waiting for tsunami.
