PED's in Motocross (Performance Enhancing Drugs) - Gypsy Tales Podcast

With the recent abnormal test of Christian Craig, and the previous suspension of Broc Tickle; we talked to Rob Beams PED's in Motocross and Supercross.
From their use, to their testing and even the agencies responsible for the testing.
Taken from the full Gypsy Tales Podcast with Rob Beams:
• CHAPTER LVI Ft. Coach ...

[@S0RELOSER]

Best guest since Josh Hill. You’re starting to win me over Gypsy. Yes the FIM tests... no they dont always enforce the policies. I personally have witnessed failed tests in pro motocross and seen it swept under the rug. The promoter ultimately makes the call. Monster rider in a Monster sponsored series? Get the broom.

[@S0RELOSER]

@minibikemafia aldon is clearly helping all these kids cheat. Otherwise there is ZERO reason to be paying him 100s of thousands just for training. Aldon doesnt have some monopoly on fitness. What he does have is rare skills & connections in the PED world. Im pro PED use btw.

[@jaydensdream714]

@@S0RELOSER fair enough. A-kit suspension and custom traction control is as good as ped use for sure. AMA should be ashamed of how they treat the privateers...

[@S0RELOSER]

@@jaydensdream714 actually, the privateers should be grateful that the AMA even has privateers. Privateers do not exist in F1, MotoGP or any other form of legitimate motorsport. If you complain that riders dont make enough money, teams are not profitable, and mechanics/team staff are underpaid... then you dont get to complain that the privateer is screwed. It's a contradiction. If the sport put it's big boy pants on, the privateer would be relegated to a support series and all pro racing would be factory or satellite teams ONLY. The sport would make more money and be healthier for EVERYONE. The privateers are owed nothing, as they bring nothing to the table.

@@boogiekush9391 but imagine if schools incorporated things that interest you into those dry/bland subjects. Learn the math associated with jumping (determine where you will land with x amount of speed, x amount of incline, x amount of compression, gravity duh, maybe even learn how a bike would behave on mars!?) You would learn advanced mathematics, calculus, and it would be cool as fuck, suspension, fuel ratios, etc... Or, learn how to program an Arduino into an analytics device for your motorcycle to track average time in air, lap times, speed, etc.. I'm sure the necessary modules/sensors exist, and programming is going to be the biggest skill of the future. If meta takes off (fuck facebook) you'll be able to code your own world, your own dreams. kinda scary actually.... Incorporate some motocross history alongside the normal history we learn (since forgetting that the holocaust happened would be a terrible idea). Base our English studies around the type of english work you might do as a media journalist, or writer for one of the moto magazines. These are just examples, and this example applies to other interests, not just motocross, but I don't think the individual is 100% to blame for finding something that is clearly boring, well....., BORING! It's our brains job to discard and/or ignore redundancy, it is also completely natural to not find boring stuff interesting. Yeah there are some serious downsides to this kind of mental wiring, but there are some upsides too, and that is, when you love something, you love it even more than the average person, almost to an obsessive level, amplified even further if you have OCD as well. It's either extreme disinterest, or extreme interest, lol it sucks for functioning in society, but personally I think people are insane for being content doing the most mundane shit for their entire lives, things that they hate. Everyone has to do things that they hate, but doing something that you hate for your entire life thinking that that's the only way? Everyones gotta start somewhere, but imagine working a drive thru job your whole life because you never tried to pursue something that cared about. Yeah you might fail even if you try your best, but at least you have a story to pass down, and you know that you at least tried. Again, we need people in those positions, I'm just referring to the people that feel that a job is supposed to be something that you hate.

with the amount of people that take adderall, don't you think we would have a lot more JS7's? seriously, it was for post concussion, it's pretty unsafe to race or ride when you can't focus. .. it can enhance focus to an abnormal level, this is true, but to think that James wouldn't have been just as dominant or as talented without it is insane. The guy was a wizard with bike control, and he had a do or die mindset because his family sacrificed everything.

[@craighelgerson2698]

Eye-opening stuff... from a guy who never took a PED. Now you have me thinking about some of the guys who were just mutant in core strength and could take such brutal abuse while racing 2 or 3 classes on race day. I never dreamed of even thinking there may have been people doing this. I can see how your mind could run away with you and compel you to take them just in case the other guys are cheating... What a dirty side of our beautiful sport... If we could just get us people out of motocross, things would be much better (for the overly serious, that was a joke). I do perceive, though, (no specific stories) that when powerful stimulants came into our culture in the 80s and 90's that some of our top guys were finding a lot of speed (pardon the pun) and endurance when their training programs were pretty weak.

[@engineerinhickorystripehat]

I'm so old, I remember when Skunk #1 was an emerging performance enhancing drug, and we had no idea it protected against head injuries.

[@chadsugden411]

i aint point fingers but if u think about it the top guys are on such an other level... maybe not roids but other supplements to help you recover faster, or focus more and even bags of there own blood so they have extra red blood cels to carry oxygen on race day etc. e.g. tomac, sandbox and baker factory guys. (all ex cycling coaches might i add, which is a sport riddled with this shit) im no accusing, but it sure is interesting on how these top guys can just be on such an other level. also just ask yourself this question, why do the top 10 guys lap the entire field, and then theres a big gap to the next group of guys, are doing similar lap times, there almost x2 groups of racers in each race. next time u watch a moto at the end watch on the left side of the screen. theres almost a perfect line at 10th place where they go from 20 secs apart to like a few mins down. I feel like these are all the "natural" guys, and then top 10 guys are just next level by such a margin then the next group are all so close. at the end of the day top guys check out and find an other gear after 15 mins... its just odd how much better they are.

[@BUTTERY-APEX]

Really when you look at the top guys Tomac is the only one who has an excuse to be a beast. I.E. great genetics and training at altitude since he was a pup. His body already naturally does this. But for Anderson to run with Tomac after an injury and Webb winning supercross its obvious what is what man. If theses guys are using they wanna come on strong mid pack about this time/ watch the baker boys as only time will tell.

[@brianlanglois9597]

I mean, I know that John Tomac didn't like the idea of taking illegal supplements when he was road racing and that led to his quitting road racing professionally. The training these athletes have to go through to get to the condition they're in is insane, and I'm sure that some use illegal PED's, but it wouldn't surprise me if others weren't. Tomac would probably deal with the wrath of his dad if he took illegal PED's, but he trains arguably harder than everyone else does and has lived in high altitude his entire life. Could lead to his being in better shape, but could also make more oxygen that much easier for him at lower altitudes and possibly imitating some of the recovery effects that drugs have caused.

[@BUTTERY-APEX]

@@brianlanglois9597 That's what I am saying his body is already doing some of this naturally. Yeah his dad would kick his ass, man your right on.. that's why he stopped racing you had to cheat to win. We all know they are close and John would never let Eli risk his life, he has more then enough money to stop. I think this will push the guys like Tomac and Roczen out tho. We all know Kenny could use the help.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The top guys are on another lever in anything, that is why they are top guys, and is to be admired. But there is something a bit new. There are no top guys who can consistently win races. Marty Smith, Weinert, Tony D., DeCoster, Hannah, Johnson, Stanton, RC, Villopoto, all racers who regularly left the pack behind, did not take performance enhancing drugs. They are all pretty much the same speed today. Now what kind of drug makes everybody the same stinking speed???!!! On another level? Who?

[@brianlanglois9597]

@@EarthSurferUSA I can't comment on all of those since many of those racers were before my time. Jeremy McGrath was a mix of a lot of work, having the best designed and well rounded bikes at the time, and natural skill. RC brought a lot of working out and training into the sport, along with training along with Aldon Baker. He moved up in the pro ranks as soon as he started working out and then everyone started joining in. He was untouchable for a few years until people started figuring out the right way to do it. Villopoto was an absolute beast. Arguably the best ever on a 250f and one of the best ever on a 450. If he could keep himself motivated enough and did race mx I think he could have been another RC and McGrath. James Stewart was natural talent who was absolutely unstoppable when he was on it. He's one of 2 people ever to have a perfect season, and he dominated. Now, he got caught with adderall and even with a prescription, that's straight up cheating. Anyone who's done adderall can attest to that. Now, are all the top guys cheating? Or is the level just super high now and only so many people can reach that level, let alone naturally. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the top guys were doping, but the field is deeper now than it was when only 3 or 5 guys were working out with the right program. Programs have evolved and I think that has a lot to do with the deep skill ceiling

Now if it was a motocross race then my competitions better talent was not my friend. But when it was a 5 to 8 hour Enduro I was the king. A few years ago they revamp the Enduro series to make it more user-friendly and that’s about the same time my results got worse.

What wouldn’t shock me is if sarms were a bigger component than most of us think.

[@ianstephens8533]

look into UCI BMX testing Mike Kapes and Kyle Bennett. Kyle (RIP) was on the Olympic team and fishy shit went down. Kapes got "random" tested 2 days in a row, passes day 1 but fails day 2 when tested with Bennett. ended up taking a 2 yr suspension that basically ended his career. i think they stuck him with the failed UI to not lose funding for the newly created USA bmx olympic team because their lead rider failed for PEDs.

Look what happend to James Stewart years ago. He was the never the same after he got banned for a year for drugs

[@EarthSurferUSA]

He got banned for 16 months, (a career engine period for most, no matter what stage of their pro career), for not filling out paperwork for the "career ending drug police" to clear a Doctor prescribed drug. James, his family, the factory, all his sponsors, everybody he worked with and the fans got ripped off, and nobody in the industry stood up for James. A life long commitment until retirement is needed to do well in this sport, and some outside force dictatorship can end your career when they "feel" they want to flex their unaccountable muscle. You can't sue the government drug police. If James is all they have,--there is no drug problem in USA MX.

One parent walked up to me while I was running the start gates and said hey Korey my son *#%*}* is so nervous I just gave him a Xanax to calm his nerves and help with arm pump and I was like wtf? It’s got a new owner which I hear has done an amazing job with the place but I haven’t been anywhere near it for years because of the typical motocross parents and their bullshit got me away from the sport. To me the best days of Mx and sx were 04ish to 2010ish (yes I know there were a lot of the same problems and everyone thinks their racing days were the best I’m no different and yes it’s debatable) but training facilities were waaayyyy fewer I mean millsaps training facility was the standard for training facilities (besides the blood doping baker factory for the top guys) but that’s just my opinion.
