Yes, this surely is an official request....

I actually think it is, just not sure why they would go through this forum because that's extremely odd. The link works, Jake Shelley actually works at ITA as a testing manager.

I am not sure this is the right section of the forum to post this in. Anyway, I've heard Oier Lazkano is in-between jobs at the moment, so he could be a possible candidate. I believe you already have his phone, I mean number.

@Tim Cahill @Rob5091 are the people you want

The ITA might do the testing, but it's up to the UCI to charge/sanction people.

Didn't see this, maybe if I was a bit younger, I took a pay cut so I could carry on working from home and watch cycling without being bothered.

Try checking out the Ljubljana Sports Therapy scene, that seems to be where all the action is at the moment.

I think Rob is close to retirement anyway, maybe we could get a GoFundMe going and send a representative from the forum. #FreeLazkano

To make the circle complete they could always hire mou.

The Roglic then Pogi mania has been a real boon to the Slovenians. Helpfull also too no doubt to people like "Maestro Baltazar" and some dodgy mafia type people. Then again if you look at pre-Roglic doping cases in Slovenia, cycling was up to the same stuff as elsewhere.

Not forgetting of course all the wonderful "alternative" therapy people offering such delights as Frequency Alignment and vibrational gong healing ...(maybe Marc Bolan was right, "bang a gong, get it on"!)
Nope, I'm too old and cynical to go for the ITA job.

Wait, why free Lazkano? I haven't really been following the case, is the consensus on here that he didn't do anything wrong?

I was just being ironic, a great many riders banned/linked with doping do tend to become cult heroes in the clinic for various reasons.

As an aside, having read through a lot of old passport cases, I do think he has a reasonable chance of getting away with it, with the right legal counsel, despite him clearly being bang to rights.
