    Tammy Thomas, US track cyclist, tested positive for testosterone at the 2000 US Olympic trials, and in 2001 tested positive for a previously unseen steroid Norbolethone. She received a lifetime ban from the sport.

    Erwin Bakker of the Netherlands tested positive for Testosterone at Mont Sainte-Anne, Canada, on 26 March 2005, and for EPO on 23 June 2005 at an out of competition control. He was disqualified and sacked by his team, Heijdens-Ten Tusscher.The UCI summary of 'Decisions on Anti-Doping Rule Violations made in 2006' stated both "disqualification and ineligibility for 2 years and life" respectively

    Sandro Rodriguez of Bolivia tested positive for Norandrosterone on 10 November 2005. The UCI summary of 'Decisions on Anti-Doping Rule Violations made in 2006' stated "ineligibility for life"

    All fairly obscure :confused:

    Is this where you got the inspiration for the hair-do? It's uncanny.

    Things went from being bad to worse....

    The cyclist, Tammy Thomas, was convicted on three of five perjury counts and one count of obstruction of justice by a jury at the federal courthouse here. She probably faces more than a year in jail, according to legal experts.

    At least the effect of the steroids has worn off...

    Adverse side effects while almost completely reversable on men are permanent on women!.

    I'm afraid she's stuck with her manly looks!.

    You have to laugh at some of the excuses these pro's come up with.
    Schumacher is now claiming that the positive doping control from the Beijing Olympics may be the traces of EPO still in system from the Tour de France postive even though he denies ever taking the stuff. Genius!
