Is the stuff used for cleaning any different from the stuff used for human consumption? I think it's exactly the same compound sold to put in cakes and things. Could be wrong, mind. I know my parents brushed their teeth with it, and have never died or received doping bans as a result. Anyway, it's a tenner for 5kg, so if he was buying it from the chemist, we was getting mugged.
It does all kind of cool shizz, before you even think of cheating at game of biek:

It should be, but what do you think they're going to take more care manufacturing? Stuff you eat or stuff you leave sit in a fridge and then bin?
How often were your parents drug tested?
Anyway, picking it up from a chemist might just have been more convenient because he was already heading there for some hemorrhoid cream. Who knows?

He never said he bought the Bicarb from the chemist, it was the empty
gelatine caps he was going to put it in that were apparently
contaminated.^ This. He wasn't buying bicarb FFS.

Not really. If you're ingesting it you'd want it to be tested safe for human consumption and clear of nasty performance enhancers, particularly, as a pro cyclist. Not the stuff that is used to make fridges smell nice or clean stuff. I guess you could buy the cooking stuff but maybe there's an issue with contamination or maybe he just had a standing order for picking up all his stuff from the pharmacy?
