Are the banned drugs performance enhancing?
I know for Cuz there was an argument that the drugs he took should have impaired his performance.
This is not to say that the Bombers should be let off, but I am curious.
The drug they're being done for, Thymosin Beta 4 is considered performance enhancing. It's said to help promote healing, and is banned under the S2 section of the WADA code.
This peptide is present in wound fluid and when administered subcutaneously, it promotes wound healing, muscle building and speeds up recovery time of muscles fibres and their cells.
