Well Cookson was paid by Sky when they funded British Cyclingrick james said:Benotti69 said:Cookson, the guy who lost the election.yaco said:Who else would have access to Froome's test resultsEyeballs Out said:Any source for that or just guessing ?yaco said:It's hard to accept that the UCI would accept a bribe,seeing they leaked Froome's test results , while the final result has caused them embarrassment.

Give me a reason why any of these groups would leak the results.
I’m sure if I search your posts I’ll find a post telling us that Cookson is paid by sky, that’s why his son got a job there and that’s why sky got to do whatever they want
Oh but he lost his job. His son works for Sky still? Seems the Cooksons upset the Sky gravy train and got dumped!rick james said:Benotti69 said:Cookson, the guy who lost the election.yaco said:Who else would have access to Froome's test resultsEyeballs Out said:Any source for that or just guessing ?yaco said:It's hard to accept that the UCI would accept a bribe,seeing they leaked Froome's test results , while the final result has caused them embarrassment.

My god he lost his juicy job but is still on the sky/BC payroll. Of course it all makes sense.rick james said:My god you are right..still don’t see why he would leak it

Good that it's been leaked. Now we all know for sure that he's a fraud.
God I'm so salty :lol:
The case will not proceed. That is all we are told.
Froome has not proved he is a clean cyclist.

Reinstate Lance, and give all riders who have ever lost results their results back and give them all an apology. As of NOW Lance is again a 7 time Tour winner and Contador IS a 9 time GT winner.
Not to interject myself into this at a bad time, but do you think that Froome is completely innocent of doping? I would argue that he is most likely no more guilty than anyone else, but I think claiming complete innocence on his behalf is a little disingenuous.brownbobby said:One thing they and Froome could have known for certain back in November is his complete innocence.rhubroma said:And of course Sky, without having any knowledge of the 1500 page legal report back in November, in their infinite purity allowed Froome to race sub iudice. That's because they knew they had the money and clout to beat the system and exonerate their man. Surely a win for clean cycling.
Knowledge of that simple fact would be enough to inspire them to invest so heavily in providing the necessary proof, and continuing to race whilst doing soo. No?

How does any cyclist prove he's clean,genius?

You actually think this brings clarity?
Who mentioned clarity? The truth is rarely immediately accompanied by clarity
I think this was less UCI and more WADA. The pressure came from there, the UCI had to fold once WADA forced the issue.

It's the old #nevertestedpositive just with a twist.
You firstly assume that the leak was deliberate. Probably true, but not necessarily. Journalists get stories and quite often it's because of people making careless mistakes. They don't use secure passwords or they let laptops go astray.

Then that makes it even more useless to do any anti doping tests as it's even more of a total farce. And yes everyone ever banned in any sport deserves an apology and reinstated.thehog said:I think this was less UCI and more WADA.

Froome has not failed a test. There was no AAF. I know you don't like that, but it is fact. No failed test. And Jeez, don't pretend Valverde is or ever was clean. Iam. as you know, a Valverde fan (now). But he is no cleaner than Froome.Koronin said:armchairclimber said:Well actually, all that has been proved is that their salbutamol regime was useless.

Except Valverde has never failed an anti doping test, while Froome actually has and gets off. Sorry, but the UCI today proved that their anti doping is a complete farce and that certain people can cheat and get away with it and they won't do anything to them. That is what has been proven. We've also learned the peloton has not cleaned up at all. So reinstate Lance, and give everyone back their results, then just eliminate anti doping tests because they really don't care what they say.
He failed test, but and escaped from the punishment with some illegal acts, we can only doubt what kind :razz: . I understand, that it is difficult to admit he is fraud, but he is.armchairclimber said:Froome has not failed a test. There was no AAF. I know you don't like that, but it is fact. No failed test.

Oh come on the feck, that has nothing to do with Bertie, why even talk about him....poor Bertie never at fault and now he is the victim a case where Froome has been found innocent..this is crazy talkPirazziattacks said:Yes, the real victim here is... Alberto Contador. Come on, this is just weird.LaFlorecita said:this is what hurts the mostVayaVayaVaya said:To my mind, Contador getting banned (and losing a Tour, Giro, and a shot at another Tour) for an infinitesimal amount of clenbuterol, which other athletes across sports have since been cleared for, while Froome walks for having twice the legal limit of salbutamol on a day in which he miraculously turned the tables on Nibali, is tragic. Both are or were likely doping with other substances, of course, but the disparate official results are a joke. And I do understand the official classifications.![]()
Can't you read? I wrote that that's what frustrates me most about this decision, that he got off so easily while Contador was crucified while they are (were) obviously both doped up to the gills.Pirazziattacks said:Yes, the real victim here is...

No false positive possible in this case? No external factors that could influence the urine concentration? Oh wait, not rich and no big namelartiste said:If any Sky fans are capable of thinking, try to think about this:

The perfect day to remember Alessio Taliani, former rider of Androni Giocattoli. He was banned in 2017 for 4 YEARS (!!!) for using the nasal spray, Nasacort. 36 ng/ml triamcinolone, the WADA limit was 30 ng/ml. Now tell me more about that thing called justice... #Froome
So 20% more is crime, 100% is no AAF, no doping ... . OK guys nice fairy tale.
30 ng/ml is a minimum required performance level, not a threshholdlartiste said:If any Sky fans are capable of thinking, try to think about this:
