Comments Thread For: Sturm on Soliman: No Room in The Sport For Drug Takers!

So does anyone know if it was a proper steroid and not just a weak stimulant? There is a world of difference in real life terms.

True. You can get banned for a year for taking over the counter flu medicine.

Alternatively you can get off (with the right lawyer/contracts) for taking full on PEDs.

I'm still su****ious that anything was actually done wrong. Sturm has been too protected over the years & this just seems a continuation of that.

It says it right in the article. "methylsynephrine" its very similiar to sudafed. His story that it was in an energy is very likely legit. Its not illegal. Its just on the banned substances list. Its not a steroid.

Its basically a replacement for ephedrine which was banned by the FDA for being used in supplements.


To me this is more of a technicality than cheating.

So Soliman using the same excuse as Roy Jones. Claiming an energy drink resulting in the positive test.

Soliman is a cheat and should STFU.

You noobs dont even read the articles.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. If it really is like ephedrine then this is almost a non-issue.

It's such nonsense that athletes are legally using TRT and other sophisticated stuff yet here we have people crying murder over nothing.
