Has Simon Yates ever had a TUE for Terbutaline or other asthma medication?

The topic of this thread and my post is the action of ASO, not the proposed UCI reforms generally. I do not believe that the UCI negotiates in alignment with the riders, quite the opposite in fact. My point here is that, imo, growing the financial pie while stabilizing team fiscal health would...

The ASO is negotiating from a very protective and negative place. Obviously this neuters the 3 year UCI licensing reform because what (new) sponsor will be attracted to cycling if they are tied to a 3 year deal with no guarantee of participation in the biggest races? But why nix a seemingly...

Just a thought

Take, or more accurately, give the logo challenge. Few people have seen the logo or associate it with anything, so grab a screenshot of the bike seat of his new WC bike from the gallery posted today and, without context, show it to people and get a reaction. I have shown it to 7 people today...

The Peter Sagan logo has got to go. It looks like 3/4 of a swastika! I rank Peter among my favorite riders, so from the heart (pounding my chest) - Rethink the logo!

I was in Richmond Friday thru Sunday and I give the overall event a 10. If it had rained on Sunday for the elite men I would have given it an 11. The course was very spectator friendly and with my singlespeed I could easily see the race from 2 or 3 different spots every lap. The early laps were...

Cyclists are the toughest athletes in the world. Where does that put Taylor Phinney? Hors Categorie!

Call it whatever you want - Barguil giving an explanation, to casting blame on Van Garderen - the fact of the matter is that he is not taking responsibility for what could have been, other than by the grace of God, a tragedy. Barguil never should have been on the right side of Van Garderen...

Barguil is a menace and a liar. Contact with TJVG? BS! If there was contact it happened before the critical point of the turn. Barguil was in a position on that turn where no rider should have been. He put his foot down because he realized that everything was going wrong with his approach. He is...

Re: Same question here. CN used to post individual times for TTT stage results. Is that info available?

It is time to end this inquisition of cycling. Professional cycling needs to separate itself from WADA and continue with a bio pasport system that views certain types of therapy within limited parametres as legal and necessary to the health of riders. The only punitive threat to riders should...

Cunego has raced, and may still race with a UCI waiver for naturally high hematocrit (>50%). Has something changed or is everyone else boosting past him? Maybe his 2004 samples should be retested.
