Hayfever treatments

[TJ Mason]

It's that time of year again, when lust-crazed boy plants are spraying their pollen into the air.

Does anyone know which hayfever treatments, if any, might fall foul of anti-doping rules?

And, er, does anyone know of a hayfever treatment that actually works?

Theres some stuff called Syntaris, which is a prescription thing, takes a couple of days to start working but is then amazingly effective.

God only knows about anti-doping, I doubt I'll be making GMB or any teams anywhere this year, so I don't really care...

UKSport have a Drug Information Database, which should help you fine out if any particular hayfever treatments that might cause a problem.

It does not appear to be working at the moment, but worth keeping an eye on.

Beconase works well for me and I suffer badly. But as it's a nasal spray not everyone likes it. You could go for Sudafed which comes in pill form, or Piriton which is liquid in a bottle. All work well, but Beconase I feel is best.

I use Sudafed nasal decongestion spray. Although it's not specific to hayfever, it does a good job for me in clearing the nasal passage.
