Impeccable timing again?

Astana's Lars Boom - low cortisol level just before TdF
Katusha's G-P Caruso popped retroactively just before LaVuelta

conspiracy theories anyone?

It's just politics nothing else, smear campaign of the eastern teams. Keeps up the image of other teams beeing the good guys.

It's all narrative and it's pathetic and dare I say disgusting.

You should look on twitter at the reactions by other pro's. Many find it necessary to tweet about it today while couple weeks ago I counted a grand total of two riders tweeting about Danielson.

It's just a warning at the expense of the eastern teams. Just keeping everyone on their toes.

So this was OOC doping to recover from P-N and prepare for GP Mig? :eek:
He needs to just own up to the blood bag withdrawal now :p

Didn't everyone stop doping in 2006?

Dave.

Perhaps he wasn't one of the cool kids?
Yep, if only he was one of those nice, young, British Anglo boys. Word on the street is, those guys are squeeeeeeeeeaky cleans.

unless your initials are JTL.

hopefully this isn't just popping an older guy in an eastern european team and actually means they are serious about the retro testing.

i have my doubts though.

2012 was the worst season of his career. Clearly rides faster clean - just like so many others ;)

yeah, you know,he had to dope beacause all the rest doped even more, see the results... but this was back then, loooong time ago, in the dirty era, but now, when the orange juice is not cool anymore he keeps improving year by year, and by 42 he'll be at GT podium level

Amazing that they're still coming up with EPO variants which can't be detected by the testing methods of the day.

Sorry, I was running short on time when I wrote that

Anyway, the main point of interest was that he got caught using a new test formulated for a new kind kind of EPO which had some weird street name. More Oxygen or something

I'd honestly host a party and invited all my friends, though none of them follow pro cycling, and tell them why I was hosting such a party.

That would be incredible!

The wording of that team suspension rule really makes it seem as though it doesn't matter when the test is actually from, just as long as the team are notified during a twelve-month period..

7bcb07bc9585f45a9a4a46e75ba0f2db.png


Specified substances under WADA Code = substances undergoing clinical trials, beta-2 agonists, certain hormone/metabolic modulators, narcotics, cannabinoids and glucorticoids..

Neither EPO nor cocaine are specified substances, and both notifications came within a twelve-month period so...


edit: Oh, WADA 25.2 says rules at the time of the rule violation are the rules that will be applied. So all the stuff above is useless here. Cool

Lex mitior always applies and its application here is actually noted by the UCI in their amended ADRs.

Valverde is one fo the riders that lees need doping to perform.

HE is that clas of rider that alway perform well. Better with hot, and better in the clean era, at least in GT.
