[Ryo Hazuki]

Not yet, he is still training in it in Colombia: http://instagram.com/p/nCOLu-wvoK/ (posted by Rigo, about 14hrs ago)

Also, is that wiggins in the pic?

And I hope Henao is back for La Vuelta, or even Le Tour

=====
Edit: I think that might be Zandio.

don't know who is but the picture is taken in colombia. the rider send left on the pic is none other than mauricio ardila who is a pro rider in colombia now and in the center, not wearing a cycling gear is mauricio's brother fader ardila(a worthless pro rider he was).

Bit like yourself

Huh. So the son of the uci president is the performance assistant for sky? Cycling never fails to amaze me. Get rid of one nepotism sess pool only to be replaced with another.

The players change but the game stays the same.

 

[NaturalClen]

Can somebody translate the important parts?

He will be back for tour de CH

Good for him, it's ridiculous to sideline him while Rogers gets cleared of positives and dopers like Contador and Valverde are no 1 and 2 in rankings.

Bet the McQuaid clan are so angry with Pat for being such an idiot.

Henao is down to ride the Giro, will Sky's internal investigation be complete by then

 

[Catwhoorg]

Sebastion is doing the Giro

Per that translated interview I read this morning, Sergio is expecting to return for the Tour de Suisse. (14-22 June)

Can I ask how you know this or can say it is. The only other photos I have seen of OC are like this:

I'm not saying it isn't him but are you sure it is him?

Neither of those are Brian's son

These are also not Brians Son Oliver Cookson

Ollie accompanied Henao back to Colombia as he is one of the few Spanish speakers on the staff.

Sebastian his cousin, not Sergio.

That is what he expects. Somebody in the comment section said that final results won't come in or be known until the end of May. Because they will restest all samples in Europe.

Mundo Ciclistico has always been very miopic to the doping issues. So Hector Urrego usually manipulates the information to soften the perception of doping in cycling. In this case they made it look like it was an study on altitude where Henao was used. When in reality Henao had some abnormal readings from a test back in January.

Henao, fue invitado por su equipo para colaborar en una serie de exámenes y experimentos que sirvan a su equipo para conocer más profundamente , desde el punto de vista médico y científico los efectos de la altura en el organismo de un deportista del alto rendimiento y de qué manera este factor contribuye a la alteración de los valores y niveles dentro de los cuales se enmarca el pasaporte biológico y el control que la AMA, el COI, la UCI ejerce sobre los ciclistas de primera y segunda división, en plena competencia, antes o después de la misma y a sorpresa en cualquier hora y lugar.

The above is what I called manipulation of the information.

Just so I am not misunderstanding, there are some January test scores that were something like near-positive or positive for Sergio Henao?

 

[Nathan12]

LOL at Cookson's son going back with them. That's not at all odd.

What's bad about the son of the former head of the British federation being employed by the team run by the British federation?

Cycling is no better than entertainment wrestling at this point.

My friend, the links you have provided are most definitely not the
son of the UCI president. The reason I know this is because my
knowledge of the cycling world is not totally based on Google
and twitter.

Cannot say that.

If he was sidelined we can only speculate that values were abnormal. Can only be explained by work at altitude or the lab being new into the testing arena. You can form your own conclusions. If they are testing the samples in Europe as well then they might not be sure about the testing in Bogota.

Good post. If he is being tested in both, this could be nothing or big. If they are, are both labs likely to confer I wonder before announcing.

sounds legit, doesnt it.
probably aint got nothing to do with why uci are so "supportive" of sky in this matter.

"This is their own programme and that’s very important because that’s why we're supportive of their programme and the approach to it and to suspend the rider."

great logic there, btw! this is their program, so that's why we're supportive of it. mkaay. you can't make this stuff up.

He works for the team and has done since before his dad was elected to the UCI.

 

[Nathan12]

I know. But he should have resigned his position as soon as Cookson became head of the UCI. Thought cycling was meant to be moving beyond these unfortunate conflicts of interest.

 

[Benotti69]

Henao hopes to be ready for the TdF?

http://road.cc/content/news/117574-...ctive-roster-altitude-tests-says-team-hope-he

Hmm riders used to have to build up racing miles in their legs before taking on a GT, but Henao can compete in July with maybe one race in months. Points to doping.

Colombians don't need to build up. Look at Quintana.

Any journo worth their salt, which cycling doesn't have many of, should put that to cookson or brailsford next time they have a press conference.

The great ones don't need racing miles before a GT. Look at Horner, perfect example. He is cleans, no. Is Oregon high enough altitude.

Quintana is going to be a great example this year too by the looks of things.

'Marginal gains' attained in Colombia are potent.......

Yeah Armstrong followed a similar regime..............
