This is rather odd inconsistency, but hey its the UCI.

Comment Checklist:
Vincent Lavenu will be disappointed and is certain that this is an isolated incident.
AG2R as a team had nothing to do with this renegade action and is committed to a clean team and peloton.
It's time to stop looking towards the past and embrace this new generation of riders that can win clean.
the sceptic said:this is hillarious. another nail in the new clean generation coffin surely.
I mean, if a french nobody is doping in this day and age, why would anyone else be cleans.

sniper said:He got caught two days after Classica Almeria where he finished a very decent 7th.
Then he still races 4 races after that: Trofeo Laiguegli (58th), Omloop (DNF), K-B-K (90th) and Strade Bianche (79th at more than 20 mins.)
Not sure what to make of this.
POssible scenario:
He dopes up with EPO for Almeria, and in such quantities that he still glows 2 days afterwards when he gets OOC-d.
The OOC scares him and he goes cleans for the next coupla races?

WildspokeJoe said:Interesting question. He might have known that he was going to get nabbed and basically was playing out the string.
Or maybe he was the team leader for Almeria and a domo for the other races.

WildspokeJoe said:If the rider is busted he has to say he acted alone if he wants to continue his career in the sport after he hangs it up.

What are these "careers in the sport" that low profile ex domestiques with doping bans can allegedly expect to be offered if they keep quiet?

He now works for Ale bike wear.
roundabout said:How often he touched the stuff is an interesting question. Some people think that he has a bad reputation going back as far as his amateur days.
