Marianne asked Jeroen to join the team.

Jeroen gets a bit nervous in the interview when asked the question. He says he had a chat with Herman Ram from the Dutch anti doping authority and its all good.

Ex-dopers seem to be in high demand ever since Cookson took charge of the UCI.

well... the credibility of this sport is already down to almost zero so they just simply don't care anymore.
it basically goes like this: go pro, cheat throughout your entire career, get few results out of it, retire and then come back as consultant, couch, etc.
UCI will welcome you back with no issues at all.

Re:

She could keep up alright. Only an idiot would think she couldn't.

She could start a sprint 300m out with a team-mate on her wheel and look round 4 times in the next 200m. Only an idiot would think she was riding to win.

So glad this is the new cleans and transparent era.

i'm with you on this.
First you wonder why she didn't try harder to stay up front with that quartet.
Then when they come together, her first push forwards in the final 300 is mightily impressive.
She then mysteriously stops pushing the pedals in the final 100 meters, followed by some playacting shaking her head to fake disappointment.

Anybody who thought this was a crazy conspiracy theory, think again.

Seppelt now on ARD with evidence that Shobukova had to pay big bucks to cover up her positive doping test.
More interestingly: she was subsequently allowed to participate in the London 2012 marathon, but under the condition that she would not go for a medal.
