The funny way Impey avoided a doping ban

[Danskebjerge]

This was another one of those crazy cases where a rider managed to talk himself out of a positive doping test:

No word yet if Impey was reimbursed for the forfeiture of his contract. Judging by the bro hugs today, I'm gonna guess that despite what he said, he never lost a cent.

What's so crazy about the Impey decision - Impey provided solid information that showed contamination of his medicine which convinced the Anti-Doping Tribunal - And if WADA was concerned about the decision then they would have appealed.

And how probable is it that a pharmacist BY MISTAKE adds an illegal substance to the stuff that a professional bikerider has ordenes?

Just look at all the other impropable excuses we've heard about beefs and unborn twins through the years.

The difference is that the pharmacist testified at the Anti-Doping Tribunal - Improbable excuses are when you have no evidence to support your assertion.

Can we move this to the existing Impey thread? viewtopic.php?f=20&t=22876&p=1563182 Otherwise we're just going to end up repearting what's already been said.
