Thanks for posting it up. Tragic indeed.

ADAs catching juniors and amateurs whilst letting the pros do their thing. That's another part of this story.

 

[Shame]

How naive is it to take a vitamin shot? Even the father knew that vitamin injections are not allowed in cycling. And a coach, not a doctor?

Tragic but all avoidable.

Can't say I'm impressed by what the father says.

All things aside here, as a sad business it is. Who the feck allows non-medical people to inject things into their children? What on earth are the parents thinking? (If that is what happened?) I find it hard to fathom.

Basically what i was thinking too.
Not a convoncong story from the father.

Tinfoil hat on/
How did the coach commit suicide and how was the police able to exclude homicide in the absence of a suicide note?
/tinfoil hat off
