    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Re: Re: Seems as if he got the all clear and then made his announcement that he'd be riding the Giro. Someone needs to ask him that question.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    how long does it take to produce a pharmacokinetic study? He's had almost 3 months to produce it and you'd think it would be No.1 priority to nip this in the bud seeing as his entire career and €2m Giro fee could be at stake. I find it very strange that he only seems to be getting the ball...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Can't believe people are on here saying it's a terrible day for cycling when a 4 time TDF champ has an AAF. If that champ is cheating then he needs to be outed and it's 6 years too late already. It's been a terrible 6 years for cycling since Froome morphed into a racehorse and we've had to...

    Cookson is worse for cycling than McQuaid

    Thank God that bumbling idiot has gone. I'm sure Froome's career will suffer as a result, as will team Sky. They'll probably have a very unfortunate run of injuries or something else off the bike that prevents them dominating next year. Cycling should be interesting to watch again for that...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    The fluimucil story is a complete fabrication to get Brailsford out of a sticky situation in front of MPs. Doesn't appear they thought it through though and are still writing it. The Doctor confirming he doesn't have prescription rights in France despite an EU Regulation that says he does is the...

    i think the corticoid TUE release is actually good for Nadal and the ITF. It tends to put to bed the idea that Nadal was on a silent ban during that period and was in fact genuinely injured. If he were on a silent ban for 6 or 7 months why would he dope with corticoids one month into the ban...

    TUE for Corticotrophin from 30 July to 8 August 2012. He lost against Rosol at Wimbledon on 28th June 2012 and didn't return to action until Feb 2013 citing a knee-injury so it certainly didn't enhance performance as he didn't perform

    the company is called enetpulse, they run this service for football too by having a spotter at every live in-play match with a pda relating what is happening on the pitch, corners, free kicks etc. I'd imagine the Tennis authorities wouldn't have the infrastructure to do it, whereas this company...

    Tennis scores work as follows. The umpire inputs the score into his PDA. Years ago, this info was immediately given for free to the internet via their livescores site/app. Then a company bought the rights to this data and sold it to bookmakers across the globe. The livescores site/app was then...

    Fancy Bears hack ADAMS system

    Why would you expect to see failed tests from this hack? They are either made public or covered up. If public we know about them, if covered up they're hardly going to be documented are they?

    The Armitstead doping thread.

    Re: Re: what i meant was, people don't want the gory details of a private family matter if it was indeed that. Rather, they would like to know if there genuinely was one and the deleted tweets might shed some light on that. Also, I think people missed the point I made further up the thread...

    no need to get into the details of her 'family emergency'. the deleted tweets should do it

    The Armitstead doping thread.

    Re: Yes, them's the rules. You don't have to get into whether she's clean or dirty. The whereabouts system has nothing to do with proof of clean or dirty, so it never proves anything in that regard, you can't be found to be dirty if you don't do the tests and you're not proven clean if you do...
