Brazil Ormeta: Cycling national road coach fired after saying too much!

[virandociclista]

Here in Brazil the ormeta is big too. When the UCI decided to accept the USADA decision.. The Globo channel (biggest in Brazil) was showing the details of the Lance Fraud and UCI decision in the most watched program of Sunday night.

During the news, they interviewed the coach of the Brazil Road Cycling team. And the coach told the truth. Doping everywhere here. When one rider is winning everything here and is invited to the national team to ride in a race outside the country with doping exames.. the performance of the rider go away! No signal of the winner rider. So the coach concludes.. it is because of doping. they stop with doping and there is performance drop.

So, after this news.. the Brazilian Confederation of Cycling fired the coach because he was talking no-sense and not respecting the riders and the cycling!!

Thanks for posting.

This should be no suprise since both the UCI and IOC are anti-doping controversy. If no one in the world says there is a problem, then there is no problem.

The most interesting thing is the federation won't pass/cover-up for a dirty athlete. This is very common in other countries. Do you have any idea why Brazil's cycling federations do not/can not do the same thing?

I feel sorry for the coach. That's the price of doing the right thing when it comes to the IOC and UCI. This should give everyone a good indication of how global the anti-doping controversy policy really is.

Please feel free to post more doping news from Brazil!

But it all stopped in 2006:

"I would think if anyone was involved in road cycling from the late `90s right up until say 2005-06, certainly there are probably a few nervous guys around," Woods said.

In Brazil AND Australia also...

Speak up...

"Every cyclist who comes forward and tells the truth is going to help us to get to that position."

And lose your career...

Former Australian road professionals Matt White and Stephen Hodge have lost high-level roles in the sport after admitted they doped during their racing careers.

Until Pat and Hein go, there will be more Omertà victims. But in the interest of the sport, it needs to happen.

The good thing is that it is becoming unambiguously clear to everyone that Pat & Hein will destroy cycling rather than relinquish power. As D!ck Pound said, they have now painted a big red target mark on their chest...

You won't lose your career, if you don't have a career in cycling anymore. THOSE are the guys they want to speak with in order to get the guys WITH a career out of the sport for good.
