"Another Banned Athlete Competes at Non-licensed Competition"

Last weekend, another athlete who is currently serving a multi-year drug-related suspension from CrossFit competed in a non-licensed competition and earned $2,000 in prize money. Fanny Solis, who is nearing the end (June 2022) of her four-year suspension for stanozolol, an anabolic agent, took second in the M/F elite team competition at the Crash Crucible in Spartanburg, SC. Once again, the organizer said he was unaware that one of the registered athletes was currently banned.

Big up to her to at least use Stanozolol!

A nice twist to this whole saga:

According to the organizer James Howell, “the athlete did not register for Crucible under the same name that they went by when their failed drug test occurred.”

There's no solution to this whole mess!

@grace4nan Part of me wishes that athletes would just come clean about what they take like in bodybuilding. It's interesting to see what stacks end up the best.

One of Big Ramy's trainers leaked his cycle and he was doing like 8g of test a week and 3g of EQ. Crazy as fk. Dudes gonna die of a heart attack.

@dawn16 Dude is like, what, 300 lbs at contest weight? That shit is insane.

 

[betelo995]

@leggomymeggo 300 lbs is 136.2 kg

 

[dawn16]

@leggomymeggo He still only got 2nd that year to Phil Heath. He’s won back to back and I wouldn’t be shocked if he kept this cycle up. He’s been taking 40x the average males test for several year lmao.

[dawn16]

@sarahjamison19 If you think his muscles are thick, you should see the walls of his heart bro.

What contest-winning bodybuilding pros are being transparent about their stacks? It's just as hush hush as any other sport with PED use.

Hell even in the link you shared was speculation posted by someone who isn't the person in question.

I cannot totally verify this but this is what has been going around. This is believed to be Big Ramy's steroid cycle!

While I agree that people should be more transparent about their PED use, I suggest you look further into the links you post. Confusing hearsay for fact is just as bad (if not worse).

@rejected Rich Piana was pretty open about what he took. This was after he was done competing. Don't be salty. The attitude towards gear in the bodybuilding community is MUCH more open than the Crossfit community. Same with powerlifting.

@dawn16 No salt here. You did, however, bring up an important distinction with Rich…that it was after he finished competing.

When people are currently active, have brand deals and endorsements, it’s completely understandable that people in body building (for example) would likely be quiet about their stack.

 

[dawn16]

@rejected Steroids are also illegal without prescription in the vast majority of countries, so that could also be a factor involved in the hush-hush.

@dawn16 18 iu of gh/day is crayzeeeeeee. 36 holy fuck!

@grace4nan Not sure I see why it matters. There are no rules against an athlete banned by Crossfit that keeps them from competing in non-Crossfit licensed events.

 

[djung]

@thespeedboy Agree, or, if it matters to the competition organizers, state that in the comp rules, and put a checkbox on the entry form that says, "I'm not currently serving a suspension."

 

[acts2416]

@thespeedboy It’s just the ethics of it (for a lot of people) that you would knowingly dope and win considerable money from competitions where a lot of people work very hard naturally (and around lots of other responsibilities) to compete in that know they cannot make it to the next level. I can’t say one way or the other but I see both sides.

 

[thespeedboy]

@acts2416 That's an issue with the competition, though. If the competition isn't specifically banning something then it's not fair to be upset with a participant.

 

[acts2416]

@thespeedboy Very true, which is why said it is more the ethics for a lot of people and that I wouldn’t say definitively one way or the other.

 

[sincerious1]

@acts2416 If they want to put their health at risk for 2k, that's on them. Sucks for the other competitors, but unfortunately that's the risk of these local comps.

@grace4nan Dumb - if non-sanctioned competitions don’t want banned athletes, then ban them. If they don’t ban them, then who cares if they participate. This is entirely on the organizers, not the athletes
