Geez! These bureaucrats don’t know when to quit!

The main stimulant in Jack3d is 1,3DMAA or Methylhexaneamine which is now appearing high on the banned lists for sports doping organisations all around the world. But the big question is, is it all that bad?

England seems to think so. It has recently through Matthew Ducksworth and Kolo Toure into the gallows of using it.

Simon Mensing of Hamilton Academic served a 1 month ban after using 1,3 DMAA, not in Jack3d but in another ‘slimming’ supplement. The worst part is, he checked on the package, with the 2 retailers who sold it and also with his coach to see if it was banned and they all said yes.

Yet they still had the audacity to ban him for 1 month. Fucking prats.

See the problem has so many faucets and points to argue against but I’ll only cover the following.

  • Supplement batch can be contaminated with other substances
  • Dietary supplements can contain banned substances as active ingredients, in which case they will usually (but not always) be listed on the label
  • Supplements can contain ingredients listed by a different name from that on the Wada list
  • Sheer lunacy. Watch as they’ll probably ban Jack3d sometime soon for general consumption.

    UPDATE

    Simon Mensing now wants nothing to do with supplements anymore! In an interview with Yahoo Eurosport UK, Simon Mensing revealed that he faced losing the ability to provide for his family and new born son after the bureaucrats nearly kicked him out of the Scottish Premier League. The law suit in trying to defend himself hit in excess of 5 figure sums. Simon Mensing was found innocent of all charges, yet still suspended!?

    Turn the pole up your arse a little tighter you Government / Doping Agency dopes.
