Sorry about that. You probably get the gist of it. off to a cycling friend's funeral now (illness not accident) so will look in later to see how you all pull through.LaFlorecita said:I see English words and sentences but none of it makes any sense to me. Sorry. Probably my fault.wrinklyvet said:Pointless having the matter fully heard in a tribunal if people can't accept the result. Rule of law anyone? It is a pity if some people come out of litigation of any kind less successful than others but all cases are different. Perhaps where they were the same they can be revisited and reconsidered, but someone agrieved would have to take the initiative.

Do it. I might even come over from the Netherlands and join. This is about so much more than just cycling, but about psychopath bullies getting away with anything they want. Whether it is letting the economical market implode or ride yourself to glory in one of the biggest sporting events in the world. The narcissism, the total lack of empathy and utter disrespect for human dignity - I can no longer watch all that's ugly persevere. Enough is enough.

If it's not total bs, it could actually be important.
Only if we get to Wednesday and a decision, clarity of what we've been discussing for the last four months.Blanco said:fmk_RoI said:Prudy again all but ruling out whacking Froome with the disrepute stick (and all but admitting why):Interestingly, while still passing the blame back to the UCI he's now making it clear that it is not the fault of ASO's man in Aigle, Lappy:Legally, he can [start]Time, I think, for Cooky to defend his tarnished reputation..."It's terrible that the sporting authorities have not managed to solve this problem before the start of the world's biggest race. I won't say anything more but of course, rules have to be modified.
"An abnormal control doesn't mean anything to a large public. It has to be black or white, positive or negative."
Prudhomme, once a journalist, would not blame the situation on the UCI's president, David Lappartient, who took over the position from Brian Cookson last autumn.
"He has already changed a lot of things but he couldn't change everything", Prudhomme said.
(A part of me does wish ASO did play the disrepute card. Just to see the looks on faces when CAS laughed it out of court.)
Your wish came true it seems..![]()

This post is definition of histeria and exaggeration. If you understood correctly from the begging that this case was not as serious as many made it look like it would be better for your mental health.

Thanks for years of educational discussions, fellow clinicians. I guess this is a bridge too far for me, at least for the time being.
It is. The governing anti doping body WADA sides with the athlete against their own rules. There's not much more to be said really.
"In light of WADA’s unparalleled access to information and authorship of the salbutamol regime, the UCI has decided, based on WADA’s position, to close the proceedings against Mr Froome."

Erhh ...? So everyone else done for the same thing can claim damages?On 28 June 2018, WADA informed the UCI that it would accept, based on the specific facts of the case, that Mr Froome’s sample results do not constitute an AAF. In light of WADA’s unparalleled access to information and authorship of the salbutamol regime, the UCI has decided, based on WADA’s position, to close the proceedings against Mr Froome.

hrotha said:Things worked differently (and better, antidoping-wise) back then. I believe Contador would have been cleared if it happened now. Froome may be special as the most important rider in the peloton, but even he doesn't stand in isolation - there's been a long string of BS cases in a steadily deteriorating scene. Impey and Kreuziger come to mind.BlackWhiteEagle said:So apparently Berto just took the wrong LABA. Should've taken Salbutamol instead of Clenbuterol and he would be fine ...
