We will remember her for the worst timed/longest sprint in cycling history in omloop. Thanks for the show Aurela Nerlo.

The Lizzy Banks saga rolls on and comes to an end. A German many years ago said,"The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history". For those of us that remember the OJ trial or the Froome AAF, we learnt that big bucks buy lots of lawyers and experts, which Lizzy Banks seems to have forgotten. It does not matter how ridiculous or improbable the defence is, it's all about the verdict. Buying a blood testing machine or donating to the sports federation also helps.

I have previously posted that Lizzie Banks shot herself in the foot. After she was cleared by UK Anti-Doping then she head to remain silent until the time had expired for WADA to appeal the verdict. Nah! She is silly enough to go onto a media campaign stating how broken the Anti-Doping system was at the time. This is like a red rag to a bull, so it was no surprise that WADA appealed. And she is still writting 13,000 word dissertations.

I really think you're missing the point; the system is not fit for purpose, and WADA don't like being shown up. UKAD & British Cycling agreed with her that there were inconsistencies in WADA's evidence. Somebody has to call them out....

You call them out after the time period for WADA to appeal expires. Do you think there is a coincidence in Banks calling them out and then WADA deciding to appeal UKAD's decision. I made a post at the time questioning Banks decision to criticise WADA and then we know what happened. I'll also add there have been a number of cases similar to Banks and WADA has chosen not to appeal. There must be a reason.

Wout Poels reminiscing riding Angliru. He said of 2011:
"I remember at one point I looked to the left and it was Bradley Wiggins, then to my right, Froomey and and to my left again, it was [Denis] Menchov," Poels recalled to Cyclingnews before stage 11, with a beaming smile as he reminisced about that day up the Angliru.

"I was like, '*** hell, this is pretty awesome what I'm doing here, as a second-year pro,' and then to finish second, that was almost like a victory for myself, of course.


Was Froome not a nobody at that point? Surely he'd have been thinking "WTF is he doing here?"

Froome was the overnight media & cycling world sensation at that point. He was second in GC. Thankfully missing out on the bonis on the Angliru didn't cost him the red jersey & we were saved the prospect of the winner of the 2011 Vuelta being a dope.

Also, the Rock quite clearly looks like that dude from Masterchef.

There was one part of Poels’s ride that day (in the stretch as he rode up
Alongside Froome gaining ground to Contador) that made me think, “huh, there really could be something to the mechanical doping claim.” Not because it was surprising he could climb that well—he’d climbed well before. But rather the way he was spinning along casually while taking the inside (steeper) corner of switchbacks.

Not of the single clip where it was most noticeable. You’d have to look for the video of that 2011 stage, or perhaps there one of just the climb.

Benjo Maso, the Dutch sociologist and historian of cycling, enlightened and depressed me about the prehistory of drug use. In the early days, this meant mainly strychnine, cocaine, and morphine, though there were also folksier pick-me-ups, like bull’s blood and the crushed testicles of wild animals. An Englishman named Linton died from his exertions in the Bordeaux-Paris race of 1896; his death was generally attributed to the use of drugs, probably morphine

I was researching something & found this article from the New Yorker in 2000.

My god I watch pocagar doing thermonuclear performances looking fresh as a daisy and going 4 minutes faster than pantani. Winning monuments all season long. Gianetti and maxtin doing tv interviews. Uae doctor on the UCI comission. Uae riders win half the vuelta stages without breathing.

But thank god the UCI is catching these Italians who dope a bit for fun to compete in settimana coppi bartali and the national championships. Tahnks for cleanning up the sport guys,

This! Couldn't have said it better myself, it sums up my thoughts on the current doping situation so well.
