Taking the stimulants started in Belgium 1882; first of all they used sugar and alcohol. In cycling one of the first big drugs stories was that of Tommy Simpson. He used drugs throughout his career in the 1950s and 1960s when there were no really effective dope-testing procedures in place. Simpson’s career tragically ended during the 13^th stage of the 1967 Tour de France, when he collapsed and died during the ascent of Mont Ventoux. His autopsy revealed he’d been taking a mixture of amphetamines and stimulants which, combined with extreme heat, exhaustion and stomach cramps proved lethal for Simpson.

In 1954 they had started to stand against the stimulants in Italy. Also they tried to find ways to know if the athletes were using stimulants from 1961 onwards.

In 1964 they put a rule to punish any athlete who used drugs and he/she would be dismissed from the Olympics. In the Winter Olympics in 1968, it was the first time they followed this rule. In the Munich Olympics of1972, they found 2078 athletes taking the stimulants but they dismissed only seven of them, because it was very clear that they were dealing with dope. In the Montreal Olympics 1976, they found 2001 but again they dismissed only seven for the same reason, but in the Moscow Olympics they found 1667 athletes taking dope but they didn’t dismiss any of them.

Lance Armstrong said in his statement that it is impossible to win the in the bicycle race “Tour de France” without taking the stimulants. Lance Armstrong was one of the famous bicycle riders; his height was1.77m and his weight 75kg. He won Tour de France seven times in a row between 1999 and 2005. He had a cancer because of over taking the stimulants, but he was back in 2009 but he couldn’t win; on 24 August 2012 the US Anti-Doping Agency took from him his seven titles and he will be deprived of participation in racing forever.

Sir Christopher Andrew Hoy was British world and Olympic champion. He is eleven times world champion and six times Olympic champion; he is a very healthy person; his height is 1.85 m and his weight 92 kg; from his early life he was a bicycle rider. In the Olympic games in 2008, he became the first British rider in  100 years to take three golds in one games.   

Miguel Indurain was a Spanish road racing cyclist who won the Tour de France five times from 1991 to 1995; also he won the Giro d'Italia twice. His height is 1.88 m and his weight 80kg.

Al Shahama Equestrain club

About the club 

It’s an understatement to say that Saeed Rashed Al Shamsi is a big name in sports. He was not only once the sole Emirati driver in the UAE Karting League, collecting roughly 21 podium-placing trophies, but also heavily embedded in the local equestrian scene. His family has been breeding horses for years and so an equestrian school and involvement in racing were an obvious next step. 

Al Shahama Equestrian Club, established in 2003, has become the place where a number of restless riding students in the capital have come to finally settle. In total, the Al Shamsi family owns 117 horses for racing, breeding, endurance racing and show jumping; and among them are several winners who have competed in various local championships.

CAPACITY: The club has over 400 riders and 25 riding horses

FACILITIES: Regular and air-conditioned stables, one tack room, 12 arenas for various equestrian practices, equestrian shop, guest majlis and kids play area, plus more in the works.

PARKING: While not a designated parking area, just outside the club entrance there is enough room to fit a couple dozen cars
