No. He got stripped of his Japan Cup win.

Yes, i understand that he did not get his win reinstated, but he didn't get banned for Clen PEDing so imo he won, not the race, he beat the ban, hence he won (not the race).

I doubt Mick Rogers gives a fig about Japan Cup at this point.

Wonder what Fuyu Li is thinking? Given a two year ban in 2010 for Clenbuterol. Yet Rogers goes free. How is that fair?

So if Rogers was not doping last year at TST, was it the escape from SKY that caused him to start not doping? Surely we don't think he started not doping while at SKY?

It isn't, Li should most probably also have been cleared as was the German ponger, the Mexican football squad, the MTB'ers, etc. But somehow I don't think that coincides with your idea of fair and equal. :D

Mick Rogers might be the luckiest guy in the peloton. Ferrari, Freiburg, Tmobile, team sky, false positive. And still cleans!

It should be fun to see him in the tour now.

guy invented a new mineral compound, stronger and unstickier, yes, that is a word, than teflon. stronger, less sticky, than, teflon.

rogers transcended teflon.

teflon dopers of the world unite (reference: steven patrick morrissey)

So none it is.

As a long time doper, i would take clen at the end of the season as it was not going to be useful for next season and I paid big bucks for it. As i was going to start next season at TdU i thought it'll help keep me lean and ready for early season in 2014.

When do you dope Nets?

And how did that work for him?

edit: @B69

Are you defending Rogers? Spit it out.

Rogers is a doper.

Did you see Gilbert's face today. Skinny.

Clen is on the menu of PEDs. Did Rogers transfuse before Japan Cup? I dont know, but he aint some neo pro who wouldn't be clued into what to eat in certain places of the world. So I guess he took something, a PED or transfusion, with clen. End of.

No. I'm simply refuting that this verdict somehow gives riders the opportunity to dope with clen in China with impunity. As a result of his positive he lost his race result there and got suspended for half a year.

And i think Rogers will consider this a result. He doped and got away with it. He lost a race win and missed a few months, but if you consider most riders dont race a full season anymore, it is no biggie. He has 3 GTs ahead of him(if he wished to ride all 3) never mind Romandie, Tour de Suisse, Worlds, Lombardia.

And you just know that how?
Way to many "experts" with their crystal balls here and the only place on the planet where you dont have to prove your statements but can state ur opinions as facts. Amazing place.

So what advantage would a rider get from taking Clen in China?

Weight management, appetite suppressant.....during racing it works as a stimulant and bronchodilator....it has anti catabolic properties meaning the body will try to hold onto muscle while dropping weight instead of cannibalising all tissues during weight loss including valuable muscle tissue.... just a few reasons cyclists use Clean.

And does that outweigh losing your race result and being suspended?

Yes exactly, you don´t know anything, you are just guessing and again states your believes as facts. So I guess he took something...how can anyone take this place seriously.

You could pose that question about any PEDs.

Given the amount of doping in cycling I guess lots of the guys feel the benefits outweigh the risk.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

You can bet your house that Contador will win TdF, seems Tinkoff paid the get free out of jail card this year.

This is disgusting. Especially the Contador - Riis - Tinkoff combination, it can make a worm puke.

Also this is a dangerous precedent. Clen is free for all now. And who know what else ? If this lame excuses stand up than you can excuse anything.

What makes you say that? (Yes. It's a serious question).

He's on a team owned by Oleg Tinkov who supports the use of doping and the head DS is Bjarne Riis. And Rogers himself has been brought into contact with the Freiburg investigation and Dr Ferrari. I think it's highly unlikely he ever raced clean.
