Nice question. Marianne Vos has an aura of innocence created by the stories of her difficult past. (c.f. Victoria Pendleton, Lance Armstrong, etc.). Where is the line between fact and misdirection?

Playing catch-up here. Any other links to the original article? The one posted has been shut down.

Been wondering how they were going to pull of a London stage on a Monday, but if Cambridge is the start it all makes sense. Hmmm... Cambridge to London too long for a TT, no hills. So there's the Cav friendly stage. Coming in from the North East after a jaunt around the Essex/Herts...

Wow, I haven't seen one of those for about twenty years!!! There were only about 4 people on the internet then, clearly including you, me, and the bloke in Nairobi, California. Who was the other one?

He can't back out and let go, he's in to deep. Hein Mk 2. If they lose the reins the truth might come out... and then what? If he doesn't get nominated he will still wriggle back in somehow just like Hein did. They both go together or they don't go at all.

Thanks. This is very informative. Re. SOL: (now we are discussing real US law, of which I am pretty much ignorant, and not WADA code, etc.) what trumps an SOL?

Which are now worth 10M++ and should also recoup the 2.5M in costs lost before. So, and this is where the lawyers here come in, can these be argued in a separate suit from the 2004 deal. Even if SCA can't overturn the settlement agreement (and the exact conditions are unknown), can they deal...

If you are suggesting what I think you are (and you've done a lot of research on this), there will never ever be a test, and if there were then it would just push intravenous administration methods to a whole new level of danger. That would be a pretty scary situation, and exactly the opposite...

"It would be a mistake for me to think back on the stuff that I did in the bus when I have things in front of me that are much bigger than that." There, fixed. Now it makes more sense.

:D:D It would be even funnier if there was no truth in it, so agonising.

The clinic is here purely to raise awareness. It does not contribute in any subtantive way to a cure. ;) I see people here who have been 'raising awareness' for a long time. Long before this particular forum existed. Yes, it makes a difference: a little bit here, a nibble there... BTW. I...

Exactly. At what point did... "We are looking at a commission of three to investigate everything and anything that needs looking at and, in fact, once those three are appointed they will be invited to draw up their own terms of reference. Nothing will be off limits." get turned into...

Were any specific details of the terms of reference agreed at the UCI GM? I don't recall seeing any. The idea discussed was a wide-ranging investigation into corruption within the UCI, but what phrasology was actually used and documented when the investigation was agreed to at the meeting? This...

The interesting part about this apparent whitewash is any athlete who signs and has got history is 'covering up'. Therefore, they are signing away their SOL protection, certainly for the preceding 8 years from WADAs point of view, and presumably there would be a waiver in the declaration to...

It can't be explained. You have to watch. edit: Just noticed that one version of this is showing over 13000 seeders on TPB. I have never seen numbers like that. It's gone global big time.
