In Louisiana you can't prescribe controlled substances for yourself. So I told him that, and he got one over on me by coming when another pharmacist was on duty and writing the prescription for his "dog" instead. The whole situation is stupid, but I guess it shows that your average joe is tempted to cheat or dope or both!

Or would that be a HIPAA violation?<br /><br />I've had the same chip issues, which is why I like to race with a Garmin - that way I have the record of the race to provide later.

The back-of-the-packer story was the most baffling, since I couldn't imagine what she had to gain. But then, as a pharmacist, I sometimes see this crap firsthand. One doctor I worked with miraculously needed prednisone the week of every big race. Another, a local triathlete, prescibed himself testosterone and paid cash for it. A third, who is slower than I am and thus pretty mediocre, has his buddy prescibe a stimulant that he freely admits he takes when he needs a burst of speed. Insane! I've cracked down on that nonsense! But it goes to show that the intent to cheat is there. <br /><br />On another note, I am pretty terrified of being accused of cheating someday due to a timing mat malfunction. In races with chips embedded on the bib, I've had missed readings THREE TIMES (luckily, two were at the finish, where my time was photo-verified, and my mat-to-mat pace is not questionable: no situations in which I run the first three at 8 minute pace and the last ten at 5 minute pace!). My brother has also had chip reading errors once, and it was when he needed his time to apply to compete in nationals! But I've never had the old shoe chips read wrong. I realize that my fear is ungrounded since my times will prove I didn't cheat, but I'm super wary of that now. Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.com
