I appreciate that it's only a side-issue and you were just adding your bit in good faith but in the context of O'Sullivan being doubted it was really inaccurate and it makes a difference that she didn't run for Oz (although her husband is an interesting man anyway - good post Hog).
but around 2006, she was supposed to run for Australia, and this was pretty big story in the media in Melbourne where I am from. And i was actually doing a few runs on cycling for Vaughn over on dailypeloton. If you hear Hog talk, and he would know/remember this time, the Commonwealth games RR that MAtt Hayman won, Matt Keenan was doing one of the commentary feeds, probably just a domestic australia coverage, or a coverage WITH Liggett, and they were raaaaaving about a certain Kenyan in the breakaway in the RR around the Botanic Garden in South Yarra about one mile south of the Melbourne CBD.
This certain was rider from
Kenya was
David Kinja who was to be Chris Froome's spirit leader or father figure mentor or gestalt of both.
Froome had a crap tt for KEnya.
And in the breakaway, with MAtt Hayman, was two Saffa's, the late Ryan Cox, and David George.
now all that was from my memory, and I cant be bothered googling it. Oh yeah, and Will Walker attempted to jump across to the move in the last 2 laps, and he got pretty close to making the decimated break.
But, the Sonia OSullivan thing was a fairly prominent MSM story about her shifting to run under the colours of her husband, and I think she may have already given birth by then, so the colours of her child. So this is how my memory was kinda jumbled, I apologise to anyone mislead by my incorrect memory and facts in this thread.
It wont be the first time, it would have been ~dozen of times, but I have posted off memory for a few thousand posts, and usually as I said before, Libertine Seguros will kindly correct me if I cant quite get my facts right. Like until I read on the board again a few months ago, about the ~30 or so, unproven Myacera positives in 2007, of which 6 or 7 were supposed to be CSC's, I had completely forgotten, well, not forgotten so much as they were just deep hidden under more recent events, and it would never have popped up organically until someone else had jogged it. Now, I also remember the cera epo as myacera, but the only reference google has is myocera. Or, it is the other way around, I remember it with the "a", but google has only the "o"... (now my memory is further jumbled as proven by this post)
