The Hincapie retort is based on the sprinter/classics rider cum mountain goat and based on the known fact that he doped to be on the Tour team, so "like Hincapie" yes. If Erik Zabel had done the exact same during 96 and 97 then I would have added him in too.

Smells a bit Hincapie to me.

You just never know what Lefevre has concocted in his plans.

Come on, we all know it was a can of wasp spray to take out the Jumbo Visma train.

Re: Re: Reading the details in full, this has not been set by Austria's Anti-Doping, nor the IBU, but the state department of the State Attorney for the Prosecution of Economic Offences and Corruption. This means, a little like Operacion Puerto, the people running the case are likely to have...

Once again Russian biathletes and officials are in a spot of bother for potential anti-doping infractions, this time related to the 2017 World Championships in Hochfilzen. http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-statement-concerning-actions-by-austrian-state-authorities

Couple of things to add here. Firstly, not all staff members at BC (and certainly a large number outside the WCPP) or other sporting organisations earn more than the non-taxable grant that athletes receive. Of course, there are different levels of grant depending on your expected medal...

Hi Schleppzug, Good luck with that info required, the realtime visualisations would suggest you are working in for an online bookmaker or planning an overly complex audio visual presentation at future six day events. You would have to go back on a race by race basis to get all that down. This...

Re: Re: Dani's total points for season is 324, National ranking points is 91 in 15th place because no foreign points are included in the rankings for national rankings as anything foreign is not included. So understand that as Lizzie has not raced a British national level event in 2016, she...

Re: Re: Nice try, that only covers national level events such as the Women's Tour Series. Name a national level event Lizzie has taken part in this year. Aviva Women's Tour is a UCI level race for your information in relation to the calculation of national ranking points. Check out Alice...

Re: Re: Firstly, apologies for taking so long to rejoin this, work was busy, my commute was horrible and I prefer a keyboard to a touchscreen on my phone. No, you have to purchase a racing license on top of the membership, though some teams pay this for the riders at the top tier. I was...

Re: Re: Which having been in the position of seeing the details within the databases at BC, makes for some very interesting reading then.

Re: Re: Incorrect, for example, David Millar was resident of France and Spain whilst a member of British Cycling. Geraint Thomas is currently classed as a resident of Monaco and is a member of British Cycling.

On the point of the legal funding, a British Cycling membership at Gold level (which as a pro athlete in a UCI team Lizzie will have, same as many amateurs too mind, depends what you want to pay) does provide you access to a legal team (though this is generally for public liability claims). It...

You were thinking of Eric "the Eel" Moussambani. On the subject of the latest trio of missed tests equals no sanction on appeal. As much as I can understand the first one. Once notified of missing it, as an athlete or a professional in any walk of life that first warning would place you on...
