Re:
Is that the Tony Martin who scored a 7 on the UCI Biopassport suspicion list?
Same score as Michael Rogers...
ontheroad said:Tony Martin was one of the few riders in the peloton who spoke out on the Froome case:
I’m totally angry. In the case of Christopher Froome, it is definitely a double standard. Other athletes are immediately suspended after a positive test. He and his team were given time by the UCI to explain themselves. I do not know of any similar cases in the recent past. This is a scandal, and he should at least not have been allowed to appear in the World Championships.
“For me and the public there is immediately the impression that there are agreements going on behind the scenes, agreements are being made and ways are being sought as to how to get out of this case. Do he and his team enjoy a special status?
“These actions lead to the serious anti-doping struggle that I and riders like Marcel Kittel are leading. We need a consistent and transparent approach by the UCI. What is going on here is inconsistent, not transparent, unprofessional and unfair.”
Compare this with the wishy washy language of practically the entire pelotonand then you question why it is omerta at play?
