Hey Skiz: The UCI says a lot of ish that just makes no sense. We all pounded the argument about the WADA rules and appeals to death over the course of several months. UCI can now write whatever they want about their decision being "subject" to various appellate rights, but such a...

There are certain types of cardiomyopathies that predispose people to experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) more than others, but detecting them in all cases is not yet possible. The one definitive area where testing (mostly with EKG and cardiac ultrasound) has proven fruitful is with young...

I got the impression from that part of the book, as well as the footnotes concerning what Novitzky had to say about possible surveillance that might have been done by PI's hired by Lance's defense team, that Tyler/Coyle (at least in the book) are pretty much telling and describing all that they...

One of the more frightening aspects of doing excessive endurance exercise (like a lot of the long-distance cycling I've done for more than 40 years) is that there is now evidence that this can cause scar tissue to form on the myocardium. The effects of scar tissue are not immediately apparent...

I am stunned that you deleted Kaylow's reasoned explanation about UCI, IOC and jurisdiction as it pertained to Hamilton's case. I'm also troubled that you would delete my last message which also contained a narrative description of that portion of Tyler's book which deals with his doping...

Kaylow, I agree. But in a situation in which the UCI does claim to have disocvered the violation, the jurisdiction would appear to rest initially with UCI, and not with the National Federation (or its designee, such as USADA). I suppose though as it pertains to Armstrong, this question of...

And I'm not a linguist, but you learn something evey day. Protasis Apodosis Regardless, I will admit to being mistaken about the results management and hearing when the alleged violation involves only an analytical positive. In such a case, I agree that the UCI ADR, specifically Chapters...

It's not an "accusation" at all It's simply a point of reference. I think you are certainly riight when you say that in most instances UCI turns over the results to the national body. But I do not think they are required to do so under the UCI's ADR (and the provisions also give UCI the...

The way I read the WADA Code and the UCI's ADR, if UCI determines to turn it over to the national federation, that's their choice. Is your statement that they "NEVER" prosecute really so? Is there historical data that supports that view? What did the UCI do before USADA existed? Who...

Amazon has it for Kindle. Barnes & Noble has it for Nook. Not aware of any other online e-versions for downloading. Tons of places can ship it worldwide. Just do a "Google Shopping" search.

Yeah, and up your's too. It's was an honest observation because the passages in the book are not clear about the charges that were actually levied against Tyler, i.e., whether he was appealing the positive from the TdF or from the Olympics, or both. Reading the entire passage from the rest of...

Yes, but he was in Europe at the time, and the tests were done in Europe as well, using UCI testing, not USADA, at least for the Vuelta and the TdF. IOC, well, I'm not sure, but I'll take your word for it (although I thought WADA itself didn't actually do any testing...did they?, and these...

I just had to laugh when I read this given all the arguing we went though about UCI vs. USADA jurisdiction in the Lance vs. USADA threads. In this passage of the book, Tyler describes how, 29 days after the Olympics, he is notified by the UCI that his blood samples taken during the 2004...

Yes, there is a very detailed narrative about this episode. MAJOR SPOILER ALERT.... DO NOT READ ON UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT THE DETAILS FROM THE BOOK...... There are at least two different Ventoux incidents that figure prominently in the book. The first occurs fairly early on in the book and...

Mark, don't you mean statute of limitations rather than statute of frauds?I know we're all talking about a lawsuit in which fraud is at the core of the claims, but the SOF (which requires that certain types of contracts be in writing in order to be enforceable) is something quite different than...
