I would hope so too, though I would not be surprised if it isn't. New tests are not always easy to develop, and if they are, sometimes they are costly and this can be a factor in what do you take a long in your testpanel and what not. On top of that, the article linked previously also says it...

I think this requires its own thread. We do not know if its linked to pogi and Gianetti. On another note, it suggests the blood passport is maybe not that conclusive and hey old fashioned blood doping with a twist is still a possibility.

Of course its about money, it always is, but it also always is about politics... Both equate to power. Its really about that. When I mean politics I do not mean favoring one nations rider over another... The riders are mere tools and pawns. Just look at FIFA for example.

There is a big flaw on your side... 'be careful not to introduce political discussions here'. Im fact, political reasons may be one of the biggest drivers for gaining an advantage, bending the rules, bribing, straight out cheating et cetera. And it's often also visible in plain sight. But...

I don't buy the from 1991 the 'first big change' happened. I am convinced doping was present way before as witnessed by other sports. And I fear I may be one of the only here who really does not care about LeMond. And as many have said before, Gianetti does not need to be a Ferrari.

Nah I don't think he is a mastermind. Cycling sport, and sport in general is just utterly naïeve. Same as with FIFA, it doesn't take Infantino to be a mastermind, it just takes the rest to be so naïeve... Sports is such a corrupt business and its wide in the open for all to see.

The vacancy describes nothing regarding benefits or in what way the job is embedded.

Agreed a lot of questions... I find it odd that they find abnormalities in his blood passports dating back to 2022. We are almost in 2026 now... Why did it take so long? What are the abnormalities?

I really disagree he is not big enough to really care. Here in the Netherlands this is mainstream sportnews. I think this shows one thing, doping is still happening (no surprise here I suppose), but also that also the old fashioned doping is still being attempted. Many here do not believe this...

Nahh pass.

Not replying to you specifically but just getting on the talent talk of everyone here. Having the talent for something is great but in the end it is not what is decisive. Intrinsic motivation, experience, environment, lifestyle are just as much essential. Decisive is what you do with your...

Hehe same here, i was one of the few in my environment who was supporting Ullrich.

I don't think so, here Lance was known with many non cycling enthousiasts. Pogacar is not.

Hmmm... I disagree. So when something becomes more actual/hot topic leading to more discussion we are going to allow less freedom? Sounds quite oppressive to me. And 'that stuff just happens' is a horrible excuse.

I get what you are attempting to do and I agree with that. You did mention 'two groups', one that comes here to discuss the possibility of doped riders (either because they don't like it or because their fav rider is beaten) OR fans of said 'possibly doped' rider. You next go on to request...
