Or it = "lets test it on people without them knowing.." I mean, lets face it, cognivia have a Perfect set up to drug,test,and see the results, via the PCAG's.....can someone put together a timeline and see if the new versions of ceretin came out around the same time after the PCAG each time? Worth a shot even if im barking up the different tree...or hell, even in the wrong Forest !

but let's do remember: Cognivia and the PCAG have a long and tenuous history towards each other. Cognivia insists their products are perfectly safe fFor broad consumption in all things including the games. However a great many staunch PCAG supporters disdain the idea of enhanced players coming to game.


If PCAG were illegally testing the new drugs, they would want their subjects to be clean before giving them the drug. The anti ceretin policy would ensure this.

Why would an established company like Cognivia want to test on un-suspecting people? What would the point be? Generally what you do for phase 1 trials is stick a notice up in the medical school and offer about £50, then select from the students that apply.

I still don't think that we're looking at an 'accident' here, whether he was taking the new Ceretin or the old.

Thats a good point about the drug testing before the games. Theres still every possibility that we are going completely down the wrong path with this theory, as thats all it is at the moment, a theory.
As for the WHY of drug testing....all i can think of, is using the PCAG's they can bulk test alot of people at the same time under the same conditions, plus cognivia have to do ALOT of work before legally being allowed to test human subjects...maybe they are cutting corners and testing humans before being legally allowed to do so, saving themself alot of research time and money using PCAG.
When IS the PCAG's ? If my theory is right, then we might see some people become ill or mysteriously die after the games, and some stay healthy,pretty much giving us concrete evidence that cognivia are doing this. But hey, its all SPEC at the moment

PCAG finished up around Christmas/January. For the exact dates check the wiki. So far we've not heard any reports of lots of people getting ill.

fair enough, that throws my theory down a bit, but i stil think its possible that cognivia are using the PCAG's as a front to test New versions of ceretin. am gonna go wiki all dates etc and see if i can come up with something to back up my claim...

The competitors in the PCAG are celebrities, they are well known, it would be a conspicuous way of doing something illegal. It would be like Pfizer doing secret testing on Girls Aloud.

Just as a note - PCAG lasts all year, except the last two weeks of January. Open qualifiers (and genetic/biologic screening of athletes) begin Feb 1st.

Is anyone actually sure that Girls Aloud haven't been experimented on?
