Frank schleck

[the asian]

Back dated one year Ban for Frank.

Can race from July 13th.

Hoping WADA and UCI will appeal.

The guy gets lucky for a 2nd time. Who said the schlecks have no luck

 

[the asian]

There will be an explanation for the reduced ban in the press release.

 

[LaFlorecita]

would've preferred a 2 year ban but it's better than 6 months backdated. At least he has to miss the first few months of the season. I hope UCI/WADA appeal.

Fast read, sorry if not quite accurate


Long story short....they do not believe it was voluntary ingestion, so they are applying a 'strict liability' penalty and have the latitude of 'warning' to 2 years. He gets 1 year, and the UCI is making noise about getting his salary based penalty, around 1.2 mill Euros.

Will be dealt with separately.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

12 months

No Tour de France

Better than expected.

OK. Tanx. Going with the contaminated story. Pretty sure WADA/UCI will appeal.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so the Lux Fed is actually taking its responsibility somewhat seriously. Can't see UCI appealing this as they were part of the hearing. Wada perhaps.

Throw yourself away into furnace of your own shabbiness

 

[The Hitch]

Pfff a year.

Give Contador his giro back.

 

[Mellow Velo]

July 14th, 2013?
So, Andy and Frank start racing almost on the same day.

if alberto had been originally banned for 1 year........would the case have been appealed to cas?

wada could still appeal frank's case to cas?

 

[the asian]

Lolz.

They are saying Frank got a reduced ban because he got little performance enhancement from Xipamide.
Since Mcquaid is buddies with his dad, there is a good chance UCI will not appeal.
Frank is really a very lucky boy.

Contador has good reason to be grieved.

IIRC Alberto was originally banned for a year.

WADA should appeal.

I wonder whether this is because Xipamide is classed as a masking agent

LOL. Post of the day.

He was but then cleared on appeal IIRC.

Why that would have been within the first 12 months anyway, I think what annoys people about the contador ban was he was riding through it.

At least Frank hasn't competed during his backdated ban.

Alberto didn't ride until he was cleared on appeal. He had every right to ride then.

I can live with one year; he will miss le Tour this year and we can now all call him a convicted doper.

But I do hope WADA appeals

He wasn't.

Gah, the document is in French. Is there a Lëtzebuergesch version for the linguistically-challenged?

Yea, Eze got screwed.

Ah, yr, when the Spanish Federation bought his contaminated meat story.

Anyway one possible reason for the differed lengths in their bans is that Xipamide is classed as a Masking agent and Clen as an anabolic steroid.

 

[Benotti69]

Fränk Schleck suspended one year!

As this is a 2nd offence it should be at least 4 years.

FFS.
