Works fine in Austria, so it shouldn't be geo-restricted, thanks for the link!It will be available here: https://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp1
It might be geo resctricted, I'm not sure. Just get a VPN to pretend you're in Portugal.
Yes, spanish media reported that both were involved in the investigation.Not that I know of.
I think Nocentini has been part of a year-long anti-doping investigation by CONI. They can put any rider into biological passport. What he isn't is part of CADF testing pool where this happens automatically once you are at World Tour & Pro Conti level. ie once International level.My understanding is Nocentini rides for a CT team which are not part of the Biological passport program - I must be missing information.
It's not mandatory, but most portuguese teams have the biological passport.My understanding is Nocentini rides for a CT team which are not part of the Biological passport program - I must be missing information.
Nocentini suggested that blood samples taken during the Volta a Portugal in uncontrolled conditions might be at fault.
"On more than one occasion with my teammates we wanted to refuse to undergo tests in unsanitary or inappropriate situations," but said riders were afraid to complain. "Once I had two tubes of blood taken and at the end of the check they gave me one in my hand, saying it was extra and I could keep it as a souvenir. Another time I had to take the test in the hotel lobby because, they said, there wasn't even a free room."
He said that during the Tour of Portugal at the centre of the dispute, "I remember that it was very hot and we had pointed out that the samples could not remain for 2 or 3 hours at 50°C. In the checks I was subjected to at home, they rightly checked the temperature of the environment."
Biological passport in terms of UCI being the sanctioning body is WT & PCT teams only and those riders moving into those two or attempting the hour record. Beyond that, it's generally down to the NADO.It's not mandatory, but most portuguese teams have the biological passport.
Should be relative simply for him to prove the temperature issue as the kits come with a temperature logger and this log is used by the labs to determine if the samples have been in conditions outside the expected criteria.![]()

If Nocentini's samples have been improperly stored which has resulted in a false positive, he only has himself to blame.Should be relative simply for him to prove the temperature issue as the kits come with a temperature logger and this log is used by the labs to determine if the samples have been in conditions outside the expected criteria.
Have you heard the Nocentini story?
Yesterday he got tested, but they didn't know where to store the B sample, so they just gave it back to him, making the whole test meaningless because of the missing B sample.
