Being a cyclist myself this just about as outrageous as it gets. I'd like to see the sport of Cycling clean up itself but not ever to this extreme.
This is Belgian cyclist Kevin van Impe. His wife gave birth prematurely this year, and their son died hours after he was born.

Last week van Impe was at a crematorium, making arrangements for his son's funeral, when a drug tester representing cycling's governing body showed up. Van Impe asked whether the tester would be kind enough to give him some space during his grieving process, but the tester would have none of it, telling him it was provide a urine sample immediately or be banned from the sport for two years:

"He wouldn't even come back later in the day. It was either do it right on the spot or it would be taken as if I had refused," van Impe said.


Here's the full story on this nightmare....Drug War Goes Crazy, Cyclist Forced To Provide Sample At Son's Cremation.

Do you think they should go this far in drug testing for SAMPLE?

If it was me I'd would tell him if you don't come back later I'm gonna kick you ass plain and simple.

    :D Nice, I like that thought. Once you start it's hard to stop then he would surely have to come back later. Sorry I've got nothing left ass wipe.

    I heard about that while watching the last state of Paris-Nice on Versus last Sunday. That is absolutely ridiculous. Cycling has the strictest drug monitoring program of any sport, but it is out of hand. A professional cyclist must make his whereabouts known at ALL TIMES, even out of season. Talk about lack of privacy and freedom. And the ironic thing is that despite the strict rules and procedures there is still cheating! I hope that drug tester gets in some sort of trouble. Maybe as a result of some public outrage maybe they will change some rules.

    I'd go to the testers mothers house, whip it out in front of her, give him the sample and then urinate on his rug. Or if his mother was dead, finish it on her grave.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    maybe they should just start executing the cheaters..... or just give up and let them freaking cheat.

    Let's make cycling the area where we can see exactly what the human body can do if prodded, how early the people die and all thier health problems.... just don't pay for thier health care.

    Want to cheat? Go right ahead. Care enough about winning to kill yourself? Go right ahead.

  • One live cremation short of a solution
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    All I can think of:

    That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
    It did.
    And these guys pissed on it...
    Donny, please.

  • This is absolutely retarded...


    But i think this hardly is the same thing as the "drug war" in the sense that is oft debated on this board. This is a private organization testing for competetive reasons.. not to throw the guy in jail.
