Sounds like very good planning and co-ordination to me Ride national champs - get tested go home and think it is ok to get a few hits of the good stuff to get ready for next week - after all just been tested so no need to worry; right? Then they turn up and test again. Maybe as shakespeare...

I'm rooting for the drug testers !!!!

Re: Because you are basically saying to the world and the other teams that you lot are all sub standard and my athletes are better than any of yours on any day in any terrain and in any situation. Which; over a three week race is the most egotistical thing anyone has ever said. It is one...

Re: ffs Maybe to be even remotely contrite as to the possibility that someone out there may have got a better rider or prepared better or that there may be an unknown that will pop up in a breakaway to cause trouble. Rather than his attitude which suggest "we have the head of the UCI in...

Tonton I agree intent can be proven but I just think that by the time you get to gather enough evidence to put forward a case and then the appeals and counter case comes out it will end up being prohibitively expensive for an organisation that can't afford to drug test many people in the first...

You didn't quote anyone, so I don't see who you were responding to. Seems like you are ignorant about how to actually hold a conversation on a forum. I didn't quote anyone as it was mentioned on a number of occasions but for your memory the point I made was "Having the UCI stop someone...

The part that makes it such an interesting discussion is that no-one can prove anything and therefore no-one has a point of view that is right or wrong. Actually the parallels with religion are very well founded as there is no evidence that proves god or any other higher being exists and there...

Re: Re: You are trolling my friend. You are. You understood perfectly well that I meant substance. You can also catch me on some typos if you'd like. I don't think it will contribute to the discussion, though. Now I encourage you to re-read my post and try to understand it. What "using a...

Re: Unfortunately you are focusing on the wrong words in the rules the pertinent word in that sentence is PARTICIPATE from the OED To take part; to have a part or share with a person, However as JB was only a spectator and took no part in the event he was not in breach of the rules To...

Re: Re: Legend. PUBLIC ROADS is still a massively stupid comparison. Well done. I actually meant open as in public, rather than private, but as pedantry is your only weapon I'll give you that one. Edit: Corrected quoting errors. Oh, can you point out where I OFTEN fail to read? Thanks...

Re: Re: Yes I was - An altitude tent is a product. Epo is a product A car is a product you could use all three to gain an advantage. My point is that we need to be very very careful about how to classify this If you only mean a chemical product used within the body. I go back to my point...

Re: Actually there are 10 random tests carried out at every Ironman race - usually the top three men and women and then there are randoms drawn from the rest of the field. Of course the fact most age groupers are not doping and the pro's know how to beat the tests means there are never many...

Tells you all you need to know about cycling but just a couple of points Firstly the general public don't even know who the cycling governing body is and don't care - only people on forums like this care and they are few and far between. Secondly what if Cookson gets involved and others and...

Re: Re: Yet again the armchair lawyer hate brigade are out in full force as they are constantly with their lifetime bans for first offences and other such ridiculous ideas. The UCI would probably not have had a list of all those who bought tickets to the VIP area as they were available to the...
