    Best excuse or denial for doping!

    So the principle of strict liability, that athletes are accountable for any banned substance found in their system, includes this form of introduction. I guess the whole point of the rule is that you don't have to identify or specify a means of introduction.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    My guess would have been that Evenepoel would have a right to data that is about him: in UK law there is a thing called a Subject Access Request, which can only be refused in fairly limited circumstances. I'd be surprised if there is not something similar in EU/Belgian law.

    Best excuse or denial for doping!

    Little bit more reading suggests that they did go further than simply proposing this as a possibility: there was precedent, and there was medical evidence that his concentration was very much higher than hers, https://www.triathlete.com/culture/news/imogen-simmonds-doping-violation/

    Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

    if there are different start times, (usually only a minute or two different), I believe the later start is likely to be the ad-free version, and the one to put on "My list". But if it is after the start, I just open both, and close whichever has a channel number showing.

    Last World Team to get a World Tour win 2025

    Nearly half the voters (8 of 18) predicted that Arkea would end up empty handed, none of them extended that pessimism to Intermarché.

    Lorena Wiebes

    At risk of further turning this into a thread that belongs in the "About the Forum" section, the search box with "Search Titles only" is not great (because it also returns results with tags [does anyone use those on purpose?]), but in mamy cases, including this one, would have worked.

    Not, I would suggest, until we know what to change it to. PCS have put "??-Premier Tech" as their placeholder: not worthy of a thread title here.
