"Because a shooter can not take anything to steady the hand your medicine is banned. Which means you would not be able to row a boat or take part in any sport which are now registered with the IOC including Ballroom dancing.."

Wrong on two counts.

First, the banned substances list is not the same for every sport. There is a base list, and then additions per sport. And yes, shooting sports band certain calming agents not banned in others.

Second, there are therapeutic use exemptions for some legitimate medical uses. The application paperwork is complicated and probably requires a doctor with previous experience filling it out. And don't trust the IDSF officials to tell you how to do it, because they've told people wrong and then punished them for following that advice.

But yes, the doping controls are way out of control and rapidly approaching the point where an ordinary person cannot compete without taking the risk of incidentally violating them. AT Beijing olympics, it seems merely breathing the local excuse for air might produce a positive result!

Yes its getting a bit stupid. There is a International cricketer who copped a ban for taking Lasix (frusemide )which is a fliud tablet to stop the body from over storing fliud. There are probably many people who compete in ballroom dancing on that medication in the older bracket. Tell me if I am wrong. As an ametuer competitor this substance is forbiden. As a professional competitor it isn't.
