Seriously JV??? Unreal, just unreal... “With Sky, it’s either intentional malevolence, or the other possibility is that they weren’t fully aware of what that action meant because they effectively eliminated anyone with any doping experience in their employment base,” said Jonathan Vaughters, a...

So... say UCI said "Russian cyclists you are banned from Rio due to terrible RUSADA". The Russian pros say "hey UCI we arn't we controlled mainly by your UCI system"? "So if you are letting the pros from other countries into Rio who are under your testing (especially ones who don't live in the...

WADA and Sir Craig (finally) looking pretty found out these days. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jun/14/athletes-letter-doping-wada-ioc-russia-decision The Guardian has also learned there are growing frustrations with Reedie – who combines his role as the head of Wada with being a...

“I don’t think that we as a community appreciated what individuals like this can do for us,” said de Pencier. “I think it’s taken us a while to move away from the mindset that it’s doping control tests that are the most effective way of both detecting and deterring doping. I think we’ve learned...

I guess that right after his positive test in Seoul, Big Ben said he was not on anything. Nonetheless as despite the rumor mill Pound never asked Ben about drugs before, how history repeats itself.... "The inquiry witnessed the testimony of our highest ranking IOC official, Richard Pound, the...

USA Cycling is at a fork in the road. They can show the sports world that this sports governance organization is institutionally mature enough to collaborate with real-world, independent experts. Or, as we have seen from WADA, FIFA, NFL and other organizations, they can go down the well-trodden...

Hmmm trailer looks a tad interesting... With the 2016 Summer Olympics just four short months away, athletes from around the world are gearing up to live their dreams and go for the gold. But overshadowing the upcoming event is yet another news story of sportsmen seeking an edge through the use...

Re: If life ban for doping offences was the starting point for Lance it should also have been the starting point for the others that were caught in same the USADA investigation. Then with exceptional assistance the penalty could have been reduced to 25% ie 4 y. Looking at some past sanctions...

If only every country followed the WADA code like Canada does it would be "impossible to cheat"! :rolleyes: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/rio2016/generic/canada-anti-doping-rules-1.3602991

Inga Thompson with some opinions on Eddy B and more: My impression now is that Eddie B. was the father of the American cycling doping culture. But it wasn’t all about Eddie B.; there were plenty of people already in place that wanted the doping to happen. These people had to go out and find...

So why did JV not hire JJ post suspension back when Doug Ellis wanted to. Doubtful now because JJ was a "gossip", more like JJ was anti hipocracy and an Omerta exploder Now we see JV only wanted either someone out like Millar, a self serving clown/salesman or others he could trust to keep the...

Re: Re: Only one I can recall at the pro level is that of Jerome Chiotti. Ex Festina roadie, turned to mountain biking, won the 1996 cross country world Championships race, felt guilty, confessed, gave the medal and jersey (some years later) to 2nd pl. He was sanctioned by French antidoping...

Sutherland rode Rabo Conti for 3 years (02-04), then first year pro in 05 on Rabo tested positive. If dope tests are just IQ tests... probably nuff said about Rory's intelligence. Only been back on a Pro Tour team since 2013, but has no problem beaking off about how things have changed. Uh huh.

Seppelt has covered Kenya in his docu's. Was he not the journo who broke the Contador clen pos? Whatever you think of him (I think very favorably) he and his unit (and collaborators) have proved to be pretty good bang for the buck compared to the whole Antidoping industrial complex (WADA, NADO's...
