Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

How would dope tests affect non FIS competitors?

The climbing world's happy-go-lucky competitions are going to experience dope tests - at least in Ireland.

McMullan's message conveys shock at the level of scrutiny now being applied to previously happy-go-lucky bouldering competitions


How would dope tests affect non FIS competitors?] I believe FIS racers are subject to dope testing - but are they at a lower level? I wonder what the reaction would be if dope testing were brought in. Would the boarding fraternity be happy? Toofy Grin

There are (or have been) dope tests at ESC (dry-slope) and Snowsport GB (alpine) level competitions in the past, and there have also been failed tests and bans given out. Some guy from Norfolk Ski Club IIRC, back in the early 90s. Let me try to dig up the details. Also may be worthwhile pm'ing paulhothersall as he was in charge of the ESC a few years ago when drugs testing was brought up.

achilles, my understanding of the situation is that they have to implement anti-doping measures as they are hoping to become an olympic sport. As there is snowboarding in the Winter olympics, then I presume that that is already subject to tests.

All races on the dryslope calendar do say that random dope testing can be carried out. Never known it to actually happen in the last few years but provision for it is certainly in the rules.

Hmm. Interesting. Hadn't thought about it before - but if this applies to climbers

Quote:
At odds with these tests is the fact that hard climbing in the UK has traditionally had a rebellious edge, with many of the top-level protagonists often dabbling in recreational drug use: Pushing the limits of body on routes during the day, and experimenting with the limits of mind during the evenings.
then I guess it applies to sliders, too.
