I title this post:
Adrian Whitehead, Matthew Egan, James Albert Hird, and THE FOOT
just posting to medusala who is fondly and not so fondly known as meds, quite felicitous in this forum, you will admit.
In cycling, and yes I am invoking cycling again... the biggest doping product before EPO, was not the roids, not the testosterone, not the amphetamines.
The best product was the cortisone.
which is colloquially and locally [sic] known as anti-inflammatories(/grammar).
anti-inflammatories/cortisone/cortico(s)/corticoids
the docs in cycling will give out exemptions. TUEs. Therapeutic Use Exemptions. but have no doubt, these were the best products in the arse of the doping arsenal.
So circa 2000 Adrian Whitehead's promising career as a small backman, was cut down by painkillers or cortisone when he destroyed his navicular when he should not have been playing and sued the club.
Matthew Egan similarly plays on a foot when p'raps he should not have been.
I think Albert had a similar problem with his navicular. And went to America to p'raps get help. Did anyone mention hgh?
Then there are the players like Grimes and Max Rooke go to Hamburg to visit the doctor calling Healing Hans, ostensibly for the hammie. I think.
<Jan Ullrich two plus two maxim>
NB. not saying those players were/are doping. I am just putting it in context. The anti-inflammatories allow you to hammer 200km one day, and back up fresh for the next day to hammer another 220km, and then get jabbed up with the cortisone for the next day when you will wake up fresh for another hammer fest.
how many times does the club doc prescribe the anti-inflammatories, and hit up a player before, during, half time, the cortisone... how many players before a game, and I assume painkillers are not the anti-inflammatories, but how many pain-killers are also prescribed and applied pre, during, half time?
I am interested what (AFL chief doctor) HArcourt would say on this, on the anti-inflammatories.
It IS NOT the head concussions and NFL that are the worst problems. I reckon this is far exceeded by the injuries that are availed and enabled by the abuse of these catabolic steroids that break down the waste tissue and do not allow the body's feedback system to prevent you from going back out. The NFL concussion thing, is an early gambit for affal house to head off at the pass the PA and class action suite's by Slater and Gordon before they go out of bizness and Mauries take over the gig.
