Time for a big fat apology, isn't it?
Unless you know the actual details of this, then no it isn't.

No comments on why SUNWEB terminated Hirschi's contract out of the blue
Word on the street is they was something suspect that they dont want to have in the team
You and your internet friend just learned the difference between reading up things on the web and having contact to actual people who know other people in the small world of bicycle racing.Unless you know the actual details of this, then no it isn't.
But isn't this kind of the point? That we indeed haven't heard anything from any party involved?in an environment where almost EVERYBODY shouts or hints at DOPING when a rider wins or gets better or has a break out season, or looses time, or gets ill, or trains in a place, or trains in another place, or talks, or doesnt talk, why would DSM come out with that "risk for team and sponsor?"
if doping was really involved be sure we wouldnt have heard anything from them
the "risk for team and sponsor" line wouldnt have come out from DSM if it involved doping. there would be silence. not someone from the team talking about the "risk for team and sponsor"But isn't this kind of the point? That we indeed haven't heard anything from any party involved?
Now journalists have contacted some sources who might have let something slip but there's still no official communication, not from DSM, not from Hirschi and his entourage.
But why phrase it like that?it´s not damn obvious. because the backlash from anything doping related problem causing them to sever the contract will hit the team and sponsors too. and Sunweb-DSM are not dumb. if it was a Clinic matter they´d shut up, and not leak stuff to press and the web and give them a reason to guess around.
But that's exactly what just happened... & nothing has hit the sponsor. The same way all the Sky doctor stuff hasn't impacted Ineos, Froome or whomever. Because there's no political will to go further. "Dope" is a Secret de Polichinelle, i.e. a fake secret. You guys act like it's some sort of big news, when in reality, it's only "big" when there's power behind the story willing to take matters further (as with Lance).it´s not damn obvious. because the backlash from anything doping related problem causing them to sever the contract will hit the team and sponsors too. and Sunweb-DSM are not dumb. if it was a Clinic matter they´d shut up, and not leak stuff to press and the web and give them a reason to guess around.
Maybe, but then the statement is stupid, since it does, evidently and objectively, make people speculate about doping.but why leak something that could make people hint at doping? if he doped he did WHILE he was racing and winning at SUNWEB, wearing their jersey.
would they want people to think about "Hirschi doping at Sunweb" just to make the door hit him on his way out?
it´s crazy

This recent stuff was merely leaked to hurt Hirschi's image among the plebeians" who daydream whilst watching TV, nothing else. Maybe he'll get a couple of additional impromptu "surprise" controls whilst cycling god knows where in training, but that's about it.
Yes, but sometimes riders can get tricky about their whereaboutsbut why leak something that could make people hint at doping? if he doped he did WHILE he was racing and winning at SUNWEB, wearing their jersey.

God knows where? it´s in his ADAMS whereabouts system. and team training camps and riders training camps are known.
sure, after the season that lasted until October, he had planned to go to a far-away hidden training camp in December to prepare for Paris-Nice 3 months later, and Sunweb discoveded it and cancelled his contract.Yes, but sometimes riders can get tricky about their whereabouts
