We have two organizations here, with one big, common goal (or at least, on the surface of it, so it should be); getting rid of doping within cycling. Why aren't they able to cooperate towards a common goal? Is it down to cultural differences, territorial disputes or bragging rights? Seemingly the UCI and AFLD is involved in a pi$$ing contest, won't agree as to which organization should check the riders' pi$$, and manages to get all cycling fans pi$$ed off. With the recent information from Michael Ashenden concerning microdosing and blood transfusions, why can't the AFLD and UCI chisel out a common working strategy for doing tests that might reveal this mode of PED use?
Pat can't let this slide by....
i don't see it as a pi££sing contest. UCI is corrupt- full stop. accepting money from armstrung/hog proves that.
AFLD i am not aware of anything dodgy about them, but stand to be corrected.
Pat lets it all slide into his back pocket....wonder how big his bank acc is in suisse, probably not as big yet as verboogens or other ioc members past and present....
the doping issue in cycling is so obvious the blind can see it....why because the fans point it out daily.....
other sports are doped to their gills, tennis look at nadal, football look at ronaldo's (real madrid) growth in a year or 2 or players dying on pitches...
other sports fans are in the dark or too fanatic like a lot 'pharmastrungites' to want to see it to dare see it......
if cycling cleans up its act it will force other sports to follow....and when other sports are shown to ba as dirty and cycling was but has cleaned ups act it will attract money back to a clean sport....
