Sky/Ineos Head Carer of 14 years discovered as member of Aderlass doping ring (Megathread)

CO for testing is still allowed, and widely considered safe;
the 'shock horror' attitude of the reference to teenagers ignores the fact that they are legal adults;
reference to Kolobnev is just gratuitous: how many hotels have altitude simulation capacity?

I'm not going to say that Ineos, or anyone else in the sport, is above suspicion, but this truly is a dire article.

I remember when the Times was a respected journal of record.

Ten days later, what they did was against the rules of the sport.

If "widely considered safe" why the consent forms?
Who leaked the story? Why now? This took place back in February?
The GT/Tour team were up at Tiede?

No premier league football in England this weekend, desperate for some fillers.
Even half page article on how much longer Pogi will remain invincible.

Just so we don't forget the magnitude of the "Rozman saga" -
1) He was no ordinary soignour or masseur, but "As the head of the masseurs, I am in charge of assigning tasks at the races and am the bridge between the team and the management." (from 2023) and has been there since 2011.
2) Someone else at Sky, probably a doctor, was also in contact with Dr Schmidt.

We await any news from ITA ...
