Sevilla - 6 months

[Duartista]

As jens_attacks posted in the General News thread, Sevilla has been given a 6 month ban for hydro... starch, a mere one year after news of the positive broke. Presumably Mosquera will get the same, although you never know.

So he misses the off season. Nicely timed...

 

[Duartista]

Would be true if he was racing in Spain, but actually the second biggest race in Colombia starts this weekend, the Clasico RCN. Then there are a few other races on the South American circuit over the next few months.

sevilla is screwed because he misses rcn, after that season is over in colombia. mosquera will be back beginning next year. great news!

 

[Escarabajo]

+1.

He will miss only RCN. I think it is a good bargain. It could have been worse.

He will be back to target Vuelta a Colombia again.

Joke!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[roundabout]

Too bad he didn't get sanctioned for the OP...

 

[doperhopper]

Joke!!!!!!!!!!!

and even better one is the newest advice from MacQuack to use microdosing, as it's still safely undetectable - maybe poor Oscar did not even have to use any masking agent...

If Mosquera gets a 6 month ban then its a 1 year 6 month ban.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If Mosquera gets a 6 month ban then its a 1 year 6 month ban.

Maybe they can backdate it to when he last competed, which would be over a year ago.

 

[Escarabajo]

Maybe they can backdate it to when he last competed, which would be over a year ago.

So he is done with the ban.

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

Can some one remind me why Contador was allowed to ride this year and EM wasn't?

 

[L'arriviste]

Vacansoleil suspended EM from competition.

 

[El Pistolero]

Maybe they can backdate it to when he last competed, which would be over a year ago.

It would be pretty silly if they didn't.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Mosquera and Sevilla and Contador should have all be given two years, cheats need to be punished properly not these stupid token bans.

mobile.twitter.com/gerardvroomen Hey Sevilla, why don't you send us your race schedule so we can properly plan to ban you six months in your off-season

Eurocentric BS. It's not off-season in South America.

 

[jraama]

So he is done with the ban.

And he has six months banked to apply toward his next ban.

One must wonder, at 35 if coming back at this age in decent shape is doable. Not everyone is rebellion

Isn't being sent to Columbia to race enough of a sanction? Definitely another fail in the latest of UCI banned riders.

Poor Sevilla... he was such a great talent, hope he will return to the tour one day

 

[Duartista]

Sevilla's story seems weird. He claims he had a bad fall and lost blood two days before his positive (stage 12), and that he then received the HES in hospital as part of his treatment. He has a medical certificate to prove this. Yet, that stage was a mountain top finish in which he finished 2nd.

Sin embargo, a la UCI el certificado no le ha convencido, ni tampoco entiende cómo un ciclista como Sevilla, que el viernes acaba grave en el hospital después de haber quedado segundo en una etapa dura, dos días después, el domingo, el día del control, es capaz de ganar la contrarreloj final, de 34 kilómetros, y terminar segundo en la general final. Por eso el recurso.

The Friday stage referred to was stage 12.
