A Sky rider having nothing to do with a known doper.....again. Explanation Sir Dave? Mr. Walsh?

Stu, it may not be about how busy Froome was being a pro athlete but more a contractual obligation. IF it was Sky Pro Cycling Team policy that no rider may race with a TUE then it should have been on his contract in the anti doping/medical section where the athlete agrees to be aware of and to...

This. Probably better rewards as well. Do we all know who the masseur is with Belgium's team in Brazil? Dirk Nachtergaele.

So dropping Prednisolone is ok but dropping sweetie wrappers is not. Thanks Brian you are really making a difference.......

Boasson Hagen injured (can't they get him a TUE? slackers, they just don't want it bad enough), also not riding Tour. Poor old Sir Dave, running out of riders.

Yes. They can tell you what will break first on your body and what you should eat as an athlete. Lucky she found them....good luck to her.

Yep, been working with a company called "DNAfit" according to an Independent on line article.

Reeeealy? So, Chris 'the missing p1ss' Boardman is so good at mind games he even convinced the clocks at L2012 to give Team GB a world record time nearly every time they rode? Doesn't matter how scared the opponents are world records on tap are nothing to do with gamesmanship.........my...

According to HLN.BE his 'B' sample is also positive.

I was 'reliably informed' by a DS & then someone who later got a life ban but tbh there is no way of telling when there is no testing. So in court he'd be a free man. Benjamin Van Itterbeek did it to us almost weekly. One race around Waregem he soloed for 80 km with 7 or 8 of us chasing...

Arrgh I've been rumbled! Every time I wonder if things are as bad I imagine I just think of McQuaid hanging that Gold medal on Vino........and remember that was 10 years ago or something. You mean someone actually runs cycling? :rolleyes:

Echte Vlamingen! In the interview Edwig didn't seem too worried if his son went a long way or not. Must be tough to hand your son over to the pack of wolves that is cycling. I think it may have been Wuyts that did the interview. Not really a fan of his, he could get off the fence more but he...

Andy, I see what you are saying and in most countries it was true in the 90s and probably is still true today. The OP did say he was racing in Belgium, certainly the GVA race would have been there. Belgium does take it's cross very seriously indeed and so do it's riders, we all know that...

Sorry my post did look a bit grumpy! Of course 'Eddy Bosberg' was a huge talent and as you say probably the best of his generation. Probably unfair to say he struggled in the wheels but I'm sure he said that himself. Not topic I know, but there was an amazing interview with him last year on...

Hi Echoes, I based my EVH comments on things I have read and listened to attributed to EVH himself. 2de at Brabantse Pijl is of course not a poor result, far from it. But I do remember him being quite adamant that things had suddenly changed and he couldn't explain why. I'm not here for...
