About one month is one year since the Danish cyclist Phillip nielsen tested positive in April, has not yet dropped any doping punishment in the case against him.
This is an outrage against Phillip Nielsen, and cycling and also against other sports.
It is closer to being a scandal reminiscent most of all about the exercise covert and that it simply to hide or forget the matter.
In the same race the Vuelta Mexico in April 2010 was also another rider take the abuse of clenbruteol namely Alessandro Colo and his punishment is served on 21-05-2011.
This is a google translation.

There was probably a thread on this. The original poster is complaining that a cyclist has not had his case settled eleven months after the positive in Mexico. Another rider positive at the same race will complete his ban in May, while the other athlete is waiting.

I think the problem was that the positive wasn't announced until January. Like I said, I imagine it was discussed already.

Nielsen becomes the second rider to test positive during the 2010 Mexico tour. Italian Alessandro Colo (ISD-Neri) also tested positive, but he claimed that his test was triggered by eating contaminated meat in Mexico.

Italian officials in October gave Colo, 24, a reduced, one-year sentence in a ban that continues through May 20. In their ruling, they did not accuse Colo of doping, but they handed down a racing ban nonetheless.

Cheers Per, interesting stuff.

No there has not been a thread on it. Daotec brought it up in the Contador thread but he was ignored.

the poster says they have google translated their post, clearly english isn't their first language.

Anyway, the point being made is that two riders who were positive at the same race, one has nearly completed his ban, while the other still awaits sentencing.

Yes that is inconsistent and needs sorting out.

AS said before : "Justice delayed is Justice denied "!

UCIless are playing games with the people who pay their way !

So they think this racer will use the same defence argument ? Not a good enough excuse to mess up the riders opportunity to earn a living .

Who polices the policemen ?

Just wanted to say that Phillip Nielsen was cleared of all charges today. It was ruled that the clen was contamination from when he rode the Tour of Mexico, and he didn't knowingly ingest the product. I don't have any more information at the moment, so no details as to why they found that he proved it not to be doping but contamination.

Depends whether he's caught with a load of stolen goods in a sack with "SWAG" written on it.

Of course he could have just picked it up by mistake. Could happen to anyone really.

sporten.dk seems to know the clen came from some beef (Headline: Dansk rytter frifundet for bøf-doping = Danish rider cleared of beaf doping). Nielsen himself had absolutely no idea in January where the clen might have come from. http://www.sporten.dk/cykling/philip-nielsen-aldrig-bevidst-doping
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/danish-rider-positive-for-clenbuterol-from-2010-vuelta-mexico
Thankfully we have sporten.dk to figure it out. They even say Nielsens case is strengthening Contadors case.

Found this website where they are claiming to be selling clen. They are happy to tell us Nielsen and Contador was using the stuff.

In the light of the high profile acquittals of Contador and the german table tennis player for the same charges, shouldn't this be revised, worked through again, ie zero tolerance or give the benefit of doubt for microdosis?

Phillip Nielsen Asquitted of clenbuterol

Philip Nielsen acquitted of clenbuterolDIF's doping tribunal has chosen to dismiss cyclist Philip Nielsen for punishment after he last year tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol. Doping Board determines that the material comes from food intake, and that Philip Nielsen no fault in the positive test nor acted negligently.
Philip Nielsen

Team Concordia Insurance - Himmerland

Doping

Philip Nielsen was tested positive in a doping 25th April 2010 immediately after the eighth and last stage of the Vuelta Mexico. Both the A sample and B sample showed levels of clenbuterol and the concentration was 0.3 ng / ml. First 12th January 2011 the case was sent from the International Cycling Union (UCI) - via the Danish Cycling Union - for treatment in doping committee DIF (DIF). Then appealed doping committee proceedings for DIF's doping tribunal, as in Denmark shall decide all cases of violation of doping rules.

DIF's doping tribunal relieve Philip Nielsen for punishment and repeals the suspension by the UCI instructed the rider 30th September 2010. Doping Board finds that the observed clentuberol due rider food intake in equestrian hotel in Mexico. Philip Nielsen has throughout maintained that he has not ingested the substance knowingly.


"Philip Nielsen did not know then, in April 2010 that there was a risk from eating meat on bike riders' hotel in Mexico. Why was he in good faith, and therefore it makes no sense now to exclude him for doping, "explains Torben Jessen from DIF's doping tribunal.

Doping Board says among other things in his order, which fell on 21 March 2011.

"The Board may first determine that there is a violation of UCI ADR Art. 21.1, since the mere presence of a prohibited substance in the rider's doping test is a violation of doping rules of strict liability rule. However after the Board's assessment is assumed that the presence of the prohibited substance must be attributed to ingestion of food at the official rider hotel. Board herewith emphasized that concentrations of clenbuterol in defendant's test was quite low, the Italian cyclist Alessandro Colo, who had lived and eaten in the same rider hotel equivalent and with roughly the same concentration was tested positive for clenbuterol at the same day as the respondent and that respondent neither before nor since has been tested positive, but rather were tested drug-May 8, 2010, approx. two weeks after the test in Mexico. Following the Board's assessment, the respondent with adequate strength, proof that he did not show fault or negligence. "



I personally add to Colo in the same l race was taken with the same substance in the body and received a year karentæne.
Spreads' what sentence against Contador will be?
I wonder if WADA Apelles the Danish verdict?
