Ummm, I'm NOT certain of this, but as *I* understand it, even in
professional sports NSAIDS are NOT classed as "Performance Enhancing"
medications. Steroids which cause the body to DEVELOP in ways
that it would not likely have done are "Performance Enhancing," but not NSAIDS,
which still leave you with the same degree of strength that you had
before...Granted, you can USE it more effectively when you don't hurt, but it is
still the same muscle....Please, correct me if I'm wrong...(I'm sure you will
<grin!>)
I am having a hard time figuring out how this is any
different (philosophically) from major league baseball players using
steroids to improve their batting averages...except that in endurance
riding there aren't any rules against
it.
