Cookson soft on doping?

[thehog]

Rogers let off, no understanding of levels of Clen or B sample result.
Froome 40mg of steroid to win a stage race
No TUE committee
Constant remarks about legacy etc.
Agostini 15 month suspension for 0.7nanograms of non PED substance.
Froome requesting more testing whilst ingesting horse steriods.
Sky riders in odd passport cases with strange press release about science studies and the like.

- appears if anything anti-doping has gone underground with less transparency than the McQuaid era. In fact it appears Cookson and Froome just use Armstrong as an excise to constantly remind that things used to be worse.

Cookson in my mind is a joke on anti-doping.

Cookson was elected by the same federations that elected and loved Verbruggen; the same federations that embraced McQuaid well past the point of all reason. He's working out exactly as expected. I'm sure the federations are completely satisfied with his performance.

Integrity has no place in professional cycling.

I find him to be more reactive than proactive just like we see now with the evaluating and reviewing of TUEs on the back of the Froome case.

I welcome getting rid of Verbiest but Zorzoli is not a name I like still linked to the UCI and his era. On Zorzoli, the Independent Commission is what I'm interested in with relation to him. I would guess Rasmussen would be disclosing info to them and we all know about his comments on Zorzoli from his book. There might be even more to come forward about him and I think Cookson's reaction and response will be interesting in this period.

BTW Cookson should have done something already about Zorzoli but again this could be another case of him being more reactive than proactive in dealing with him.

digger on twitter is pretty much summarizing the hypocricy in unambiguous fashion.

The UCI reaction to the Froome TUE thing is the usual farce. 'We did nothing wrong. But we're going to make sure it doesn't happen again.'

bruyneel also chimed in to comment on ulissi vs. froome salbutamol.

 

[42x16ss]

What? Cookson's real tough on doping! Just ask Ulissi

what did he say or you are talking about his retweet of raymond kerckoffs tweet?

"At the moment, the anti-doping service within the UCI headquarters is just down the corridor of the president's office so that can't be right.

"If elected president, I would rapidly establish a completely independent anti-doping unit, in co-operation with Wada.

"It will be managed and governed outside of the UCI so people can have absolute confidence in our sport."

Good work Cookson.

Two threads to say the same things about Cookson. Good work.

Two missed chances for you to add something germane to the subject. Good work.

Expecting Cookson to change anything beyond the superficial is a false hope.

I'm seeing things as worse than before. There's no transparency and the Rogers case is indicative of this. No idea what happened there or why.

The Froome situation concerns me because of the instantaneous reaction without realising with regards that the TUE committee wasn't in place. Cookson was to quick to defend Froome/Sky. He didn't even appear to want to know why a rider so sick was ripping the legs of the peloton.

Then you have Ulissi and Agostini who just get left by the wayside.

 

[Beech Mtn]

This thread needs a poll. (never thought I'd say that)

Cookson appears to be a british McQuaid. I dont see Froome testing positive any time soon.

The OP should amend the thread title to say what he really means.

I dont think there was much hope for Cookson in the first place. Just tad better than McQuaid on paper.

Good work Cookson.

Funny his he says stuff like "just down the hall" whilst having one guy approving all TUEs.

And hat interview when he said "Froome is clean".

 

[Fzotrlool]

He just caught two terrorists (Kreuziger and Ullisi), so I'd say no. Remember, it's not terrorism when the good guys like Froome are using The Drugs of Mass Destruction.

I wonder if its Zorzoli handling the Kreuziger case too.

You mean he caught the non/English speak riders and let the English speaking good guys go free?

Rogers & Froome what's the connection ?

 

[BYOP88]

Cookson must read the clinic. Is that 2 busted since the hog started this thread? In fact is the hog,Cookson?

she always asked me who thehog is? apparently, every time i open the clinic thehog post is there.

 

[doolols]

Cookson can't be the Hog. If he was, he'd never have time to do anything else.

 

[King Boonen]

Agostini tested postive for an anabolic steroid that has a history of use going back to athletes from East Germany.


I'm not sure how you can class that as a "Non PED substance".

We know absolutely nothing about the facts in Kreuzinger's case other than it is a passport case, and he is a "caught terrorist"? Par for the course for a biased, gossipy and tabloidian commentator. How about we wait for the investigation, the charges, the hearing, the evidence and the ruling.

Just another day for specious and irresponsible speculation in the la la land of the Clinic.

You may be too old to understand my analogies, and that's ok. But come on. The guy was a client of Fuentes before he came under the eagle wings of Riis (another addict). It's not rocket science.

Well, as I posted in another thread, this case suggests UCI/ASO/etc mafia works in a similar way Putin operates russian oligarchs - they are all guilty for their "road to wealth" so anyone disobeying will immediately face the investigation and will "rightfully" go to jail. And they all know it's hell real, at least since Khodorkovsky's case, which on the other exposed Putin completely. So the only hope is that this case may evolve into some kind of "Kreuzigate" and open the eyes of the wider public, journalists, etc. And people may little by little begin to realize where the core of the problem is.
