i can see how alcohol might be an issue for, say, safety in aeronautics, automobiles, motorcycling, archery etc... but billiards?? ..and boules?! where i come from i swear you can't play boules without pastis. it's just not done. olivier ps oh, but i do i agree competitive (national and internat

[BD] ...anti-doping schism!...

Perhaps the UKUA could whip up such a storm as to cause a schism in thought and get 'ex-communicated' from the WFDF... and we'd all read about the dissolution of the disc in future history lessons? __ BritDisc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://

RE: [BD] Anti-doping CORRECTION

I was wrong the first time around - testing positive for cannabinoids will get you in deep trouble. Testing positive for anabolic steroids: Disqualification from competition, forfeiture of all prizes, two-year ineligibility in all national and international competition. No penalty to team unless

[BD] Testing in the sport.

Not entirely to (or off) the point: How many of you really consider yourselves as players of an "amateur" sport? I'm not talking about the logistics involved, but your own attitude to playing Ultimate. Despite the official standing of the game in the wider sporting community, I think most of u

[BD] Anti-doping & alcohol

BD, Had some time on my hands this afternoon (gotta love being self-employed!) so had a thorough read of the WFDF and WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) rules and banned substances lists. According to the WADA, alcohol is ONLY banned in specific sports, as requested by those federations. The relevan

Re: [BD] Re: Anti-doping

Jamie, Do you really think that ultimate is at the stage were there is even a danger that people will take performance enhancing drugs? I have problems with the nebulous concept of 'best interests of the sport'. What happens if that doesn't match with the best interests of the people who play

[BD] WFDF Doping Rules

Having not read the actual criteria or list of prohibited substances I may not be in a position to comment. Dope testing is an essential step in the growth and recognition of any sporting activity. My point is for those using Cannabinoids during practice periods. If the testing system utilises

[BD] Monkey Foo Tournament

Hi disc-lovers! The Monkey Foo are happy to invite you to their 2004 tournament. The tournament will take place at Bourg d'Oisans (near Grenoble, France), as usual, September 10-12, 2004 and will bring together 16 teams, including Monkey Foo. The big change this year is that the tournament is c

[BD] Re: Anti-doping

Thanks to Aura for clearing up that its still ok to use cannabinoids etc as long as you can establish that their use was not intended to enhance performance e.g. "for the treatment of chronic diseases. Such as itchy scrot." innit! However, I disagree with Patrick that this is a decision requiring

[BD] Anti-doping and how it affects YOU

Neil and BD, The rules the WFDF have signed are the same that apply to Olympic athletes, so that as ultimate players, we will shortly be subject to the same regimented lifestyle as Olympians. And you might just think it's only national team members who can be tested, but you would be wrong. Anyb

[BD] Anti-doping

All this fuss about anti-doping regulations seems absurd to me. If we want our sport to be taken seriously (which I'm sure we all do) then regulations such as this are necessary. They do not affect SOTG. The only people who have to worry about being tested for drugs are those who are guilty of

[BD] WFDF anti-doping rules announcement

To anybody following this discussion: Most people can stop worrying. Nearly all of us are in the clear for anti-doping, regardless of the substance concerned! If you look a little bit closer at the WADA rules: cannabinoids, alcohol, anti-asthmatics, medicated skin creams, and common cough medici
