I don't know how many folks here have used smelling salts, but if people sniff them and don't throw their head back from the smell, that's an immediate signal to check what they were actually sniffing - lumlums
I haven't. But i don't think i can just waltz into shoppers drug mart and pick smelling salts off the shelf.

When Ovechkin ONLY scored 38 goals and everybody thought he was done, unverified info was "leaked" and "speculated" on that he was taking steroids and they were finally drug testing the Caps.
Without steroids he would never play the same again.
Steigerwald published a column on Sunday that did not simply wonder whether Ovechkin's decline in production was the result of his ceasing to use performance-enhancing drugs, as the question mark in the headline implied. He outright said that without definitive proof that Ovechkin did not use performance-enhancing drugs, then clearly he must be presumed to have used them.
"I've taken the position that if you're performing at a near super-human level and your doctor is arrested for selling steroids, you are guilty until proven innocent," Steigerwald wrote.
Better ban him from the HOF, we ALLLLLLL KNOOOOOOWWWW he's on drugs...except when he isn't, but then when he is he's good.

Its any sport, hockey is no different. Olympics ..all sports at the highest levels are littered with PEDs. - senstroll
Once upon a time, at a family function at the in-laws' (may have been a Christmas dinner), my sister-in-law went on and on about how Lance Armstrong was such an inspiration.
I told her that the sport of cycling was dirty as hell, and it was naive to think that he wasn't juicing - basically, if you weren't on the juice, you had no opportunity to win.
Oh dear. She had read his book, and was a disciple. It got really, really ugly. And this was at a family dinner. I was an arsehole for smearing his name - he was an inspiration to cancer survivors, I was just jealous of his success, blah blah blah blah blah. It was like I had murdered her cat in front of her.
Oddly enough, I never got an apology a few years later when it was confirmed he was bathing in PEDs.
The best testimony ever was from Charlie Francis at the Dubin Inquiry: if you didn't take steroids, it was like lining up a meter behind everyone else.

I'm not sure tbh. But if you've ever used afterbite, you can get an idea as to what it is. Afterbite is a weak ammonia solution (about 0.3% ammonium hydroxide IIRC), while smelling salts are predominantly ammonium carbonate - but in pure, solid form. Anyway, long story short - if you smell this, you know about it IMMEDIATELY.
EDIT: Here's Kessel with them - notice how they are a few inches away from his nose and he's already flinching

Which movie? I'm too lazy to go back and read through the thread. - Aaron_85
Logan's Run.
And I highly recommend Free Enterprise, for which Logan's Run is featured. If for no other reason than to watch William Shatner rap William Shakespeare.

Those 30 for 30 docs are great 9.79 and the cycling one forget the name.

yeah, people generally don't do that.
But if it makes you feel any better im always the arsehole in my family.. Usually starts when im asked if "God" is in my life. To which i reply, you mean the flying spaghetti monster?

Shouldn't it be considered a PED? - Arctic_AARDVARK
Nope - it doesn't alter your body chemistry or physiology in any way. It's basically more like a slap in the face without actually getting a slap in the face

Nope, Most nitrogen will be just as molecular nitrogen. Most gases in a fart don't smell, it's really just the small amount of volatile sulfur compounds that cause the smell.
That time you realized your smelling salts might be Bolivian pure.
