Motor doping thread

[proffate]

Some pretty severe accusations there: care to substantiate any of them?

How is he going to substantiate them? Hack into the race director's email system?

Where there's smoke there's fire. I'm not saying he's right, but it's not exactly unfathomable that he's right. The Lakers clearly (objectively) get insane favoritism from the refs because they're one of the biggest markets. Why would that only occur in one sport?

hmm this could be an interesting exercise. can anyone think of a sponsor that abruptly pulled out mid-season? i can think of one, let's see if anyone else gets it.

also, do you have a link to the podcast in question?

thanks for the link. i'd have to listen to it, but even if not mid-season, it's still the only one I can really think of, in the last 10-12 years anyway. and it's not Jumbo, either, because i think it's pretty clear they pulled out because the company itself was having its own scandal.

Why is there a dedicated motor doping podcast and how do you fill the episodes if there‘s little to no information. I still don‘t believe the motor people because they keep bringing up guys like Froome whose power data in a generational context is awful.

53 year old sponsor of an amateur team (who also rides for the team) suspected of motor cheating before the start of a stage rushes off in his car injuring a race organiser who was trying to question him. His family restaurant business is also a sponsor of Astana. There was no prize money (or very little) for the race, which is the highest amateur level. He had turned in some eye opening performances on 2 previous stages that led to questions and someone noticed a suspicious cable on his bike.

"We had suspicions about potential cheating," explained race director Frédéric Lenormand. "On Saturday, in the stage between Beauvais and Maignelay-Montigny, he caught a breakaway in an abnormally fast period of time. On Sunday, several people mentioned an unusual noise when he was riding."
But when Lenormand attempted to check the rider's bike, he could scarcely have believed what would happen next.

The rider "fled" towards his van, Le Parisien reported, despite efforts by Lenormand to "hold him back".

"I wanted to hold him back but he ran away," Lenormand says – and after catching up with the rider: “He drove his car at me and I went about 100 metres on his bonnet.
