You'd be amazed at some of the stuff you're not allowed infairness.

 

Lads i knew who ran for ireland and the like couldn't even take things like lemsip if they had the cold.

Didn't a British skier lose the bronze medal a few years back because they'd used Vicks Sinex?

 

Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant, it's in loads of cold remedies.

Aye, was just reminding myself of the story before coming back to post a link in here

Apparently the UK version of the inhaler didn't contain the banned substance whereas the US version did. That's someone I have sympathy for (if thats the truth). Not someone with ridiculous resources likely surrounded by many people able to offer advice who "takes his wife's slimming pills." According to wiki he got the medal back unofficially from the guy awarded it but never won his appeal with the IOC

Nice touch if true.

Aye, that's right. The bloke said he'd give it to Baxter and I think he did. Basically Baxter took Vick's and the North American version had a minute amount of metaphetamine in it (the British version doesn't and was on the 'safe to use' list). At the time it was said that it was only discovered because of new, more sophisticated testing. Seems utterly ridiculous common sense can't be applied in a case like that.
