https://twitter.com/wada_ama/status/511874308659232768 When I first read this I was like, blech, then just feeling disappointed at another nail into my faith in WADA/ADA's coffin WADA - naive or playing the antidoping pr game too? I get it that Millar is a good PR man, but he is no...

So Millar is asked to talk to CIRC but refuses. Last season was hardly a busy one for him from a competition standpoint. Now how does that mesh with JV and his "clean teams" policy that's been published like a million times? Been any public questions to JV on this yet? ?This goes back to the...

Perhaps the answer is here... "Yeah, I mean there was always a possibility of riding it. I was riding and talking with the team and Floyd every day. It just came down to that point that they decided to go with a bit more experienced guys, but they were definitely pleased with how I was able...

Thats what JV told to Captainbag and is repeated in his blog as I recall. Don't recall Roman K's camp mentioning anything about his Giro 2012 day 0 testing results being out a wack? So I suppose it was just an isolated case?:rolleyes:

Steve Tilford going off again. Blog post could go in a few threads. But Ryder does figure prominently. Also Steve talks about an arrogant manager and a dirty O'Neil on the HealthNet road team in 2007 (I think), when one Ryder Hesjedal was a member of this squad too. Hmmmmmmm. "Ryder Hesjedal...

Ms Macur certainly did not pull any punches with this one: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/17/sports/cycling/executives-ride-into-sunset-signals-brighter-day-for-usa-cycling.html?_r=0

I'd say Marcel managed himself pretty well on twitter, certainly much better than kennaugh did! Marcel Kittel @marcelkittel · 15h 15 hours ago ...shows how important an Anti-Doping law in every country is. 0 replies 76 retweets 157 favorites Reply Retweet76 Favorite157 Marcel...

Just like Tyler working with Cecchini and Fuentes.

http://cyclingtips.com.au/2014/12/steele-von-hoff-i-was-just-a-victim-of-the-game/ Really how is Garmin different from other teams re the pressure to dope to keep your job? How is JV getting this image as some sort of new age clean cycling/business guru? The teams were merging and he knew...

Who would a guessed that the day would come that The Killer would be looking better for his word than the Clean Team's Mr Clean Giro Champ. No twisting of words can excuse Ryder for his role in spreading the myth to help prop up his image. Puleeeze, he's no innocent new Gen, been in the thick of...

Not sure if this radio interview in English with Hajo Seppelt was quoted here yet? Starts with the Stepanovs contacting WADA and not getting any action...

Agreed. But the issue is also who do the athletes even complain to. I recall some issues when Canadian nordic skiier Beckie Scott complained at first to **** Pound re the Russian Nordic Skiiers. Pound tried at first to discredit her. Eventually she was proved right and got an olympic bronze...

Yeah and I recall JV saying in 2005: No doping on postal: "I was thinking back (to that time) and I remember I could feel that we (USPS) were going to be real contenders for the Tour. So I called Johan (Bruyneel) and asked him if there was anything I should be worried about. He assured me...

Tough day for Ryder and boss JV - lookin like clean era a myth, dark days still here. Either they are like frogs on a lilly pad of naivety, did not have their fingers on the pulse like they thought or they are liars and credibility just did a big faceplant. But the dark days are gone...

My German's not all that great, but seeing that occ doping control footage was brutal. Hard not to have a lot of, concern for and a lot of admiration for the Stepanov's. They are certainly 'heros' of anti doping. The xUSPS guys should feel pretty embarrassed at believing they made any great...
