Political doping thread

[DanielSong39]

This is the clinic, guys - and the whole point of this thread is to talk about political conspiracies.

Keep firing away with the speculations! That's what makes things more entertaining.

Re:

Since this is the clinic, and a Place for conspiracy... How about this, somebody has evidence of Sagan doping, but such a doping case would damage the Public image of the sport. What better idea than to throw him out for something else ?

Very interesting thought...
But doesnt really add up well enough!

It would appear Bora have lodged an appeal to CAS based on UCI not following its own rules.

Sagan should have come become race Jury.

Why does the UCI not follow its own rules? To appease sponsors, teams, riders......

Crazy stuff from the outside, but probably all makes sense to those on the inside.

Wonder will Bora get a licence next year????

Dimension Data not liking the size of Sagan's motor?

Well, well. Now we have a potential incident between Froome and Aru.
I predict that Froome will get off scott-free.

 

[Hayabusa]

Froome should get off, it was a nothing incident. Gotta love people trying to make something out of nothing..

Come on, let's be real. Kicking out Sagan was a mistake, and I understand saying emotional stuff during/right after a hectic stage, but people saying that this bumping against Aru was worse have got to be joking, no?
Nobody's ever getting disqualified from the Tour for something like that.

Let's see how the time limit rule is enforced. Demare did not make the limit so the race jury will have to get creative to keep him in the race.

 

[DanielSong39]

Fortunately Demare was removed from the race and further controversy was avoided.

Looks like Uran and Bennett receive time penalties for an illegal bottle while Bardet escapes punishment. I guess it comes down to whether you do something with the bottle you received (other than chuck it).

 

[DanielSong39]

Looks like the water-gate story has taken on a new dimension. There may be inconsistencies in how the penalties were applied.
