[element00]

This years list. Bought to you by a bunch of doogooder moralisers talking like they care about the health of athletes, when really they are just running a political agenda

Welcome to the List | Wada Prohibited List

How is a beta blocker on the sports blocked list. What if the athletes are taking due to irregular heartbeat?

I'm not sure that a top tier athlete could or would compete with a heart arritymia. It may cause death. But hey, whatever it takes #5%

Possibly. But here's a fun fact - asthma is very common for many of the world's top level athletes. You wouldn't expect to see asthmatic athletes anymore than you'd expect to see athletes with heart issues really I wouldn't think.

If there is a medical need I think that there are options for athletes as far as WADA is concerned. Maybe @Millard Baker knows how this kind of thing is handled as I know he's highly familiar with WADA's bullshit... Oh regulations I mean...

I believe it's more common in golf than most other sports.

That's interesting. It make sense... Shit would keep you steady as can be.

Yeah, that's the idea. Could come in handy on a put. There are millions at stake after all.

Different sports are going to have different performance needs, not all being strength or endurance, so a performance enhancing drug for them could be something like that. Or stimulants for focus/reaction time or whatever the needs of that sport might be.

I know beta blockers are common for musicians. If I have a business meeting I like using them... No anxiety, no foggy head... Just feels like you're on your A game.

I've never taken one before. Sounds kind of like Xanax without the benzo sides.

Yeah, very similar effect IMO. Very little potential for abuse I think. Completely removed any of the butterfly in stomach feeling for me with public speaking. I often wondered what would happen if taking them on a meet day to keep your head cool but I think they would ultimately work against you by limiting arousal and aggression.

I do prefer to stay mostly calm throughout a meet, but I need to be able to summon the aggression for my third attempts. This minimizes fatigue and if you choose your first and second attempts wisely there's no need for any hype to crush them. Save it for the third. If the beta blockers prevented you from being able to do that then I don't think they'd be a good idea.

if they meet the criteria, athletes can be granted a TUE (therapeutic use exemption), which makes their drugs medicine.
if they use it without one, then they are "doping".

archery came to mind. shooting as well. and bowling.
alcohol is also a prohibited substance.

Psh... Shooting guns and drinking copious amounts of booze just go together like chicken and rice. WADA is outta control...

I would have asthma too... if that meant I could get a puff or two from my albuterol inhaler!!

Yeah, I'd say any sport where it's just you against a target/goal/hole would benefit. Maybe pro pool and dart players as well. Even poker and card players.

it needs to be systemic.
