2018 Banned List

WADA seems like an organisation in crisis. I agree that sports should be "pure" but the list is now so extensive that it`s fully possible to have a condition where you need one of the banned substances on the list in order to function.
For pool it`s a very limited list, but for some sports you really can`t live a normal life and use common medicines.
The harder WADA crack down, the bigger the problem of doping seems to be.
Sports on a elite level today really seems to be dependent on doping to some degree.
I just saw the Icarus documentary about rodtsjenkov and it was pretty crazy.

List is kind of long but it looks like beer drinkers and pot smokers get a bye.

Nope, cannabis is there except for Cannabidiol, dont know what it is but it is acceptable.

Need I worry about being approached for a UA during a tournament???

I thought this thread was about banned members too!!!!!

I think I read that the cannabidiol is a product derived from cnnbis, but doesn't contain thc. Proponents claim it is some kind of miracle. :rolleyes:.
 
There is some accommodation for individual need. I think it is called 'therapeutic use exemption' and one has to apply for it...and it has to be under Dr. Orders.

From the interwebs, may or may not be accurate:

Cannabidiol—CBD—is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned” and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC. The fact that CBD-rich cannabis is non-psychoactive or less psychoactive than THC-dominant strains makes it an appealing option for patients ...​

For most pool players, I think there is no problem. Alcohol is not listed and neither are "reds" nor "black beauties".;) There are stories of players calling over to the guy at the counter at Cochran's, "Glass of beer and a straight shooting pill," and he would bring them over.

I think there have already been two or three suspensions of cue sports players based on random testing. As I recall one of the carom players hit something on the very long list of antihistamines, and maybe a snooker player was doing beta blockers.

Thankfully caffeine is not on the list.
 
I’m taking a bet blocker that’s on the list for high blood pressure. Gimme’ a break. At 71 I could give a rats ass. Let’s all dope and thin the heard.

I take pills for blood pressure, diabetes, and AFIB. Then there are the supplements like krill oil, a multi vitamin, extra vitamin D for bone health, magnesium to help the hand cramps.

Ahhh, there goes my Olympics career!
