Valentin Iglinskiy positive for EPO

[the sceptic]

Neal Rogers on twitter trying to sound all anti doping. Though looks like he may have got the 2 brothers mixed up.

Iglinsky admits to using EPO. Can’t help but recall how much flak I took over my April 2012 piece questioning Astana http://velonews.competitor.com/2012...ises-as-former-liege-winners-fall-flat_214608 …

Same guy who was cheering Tommy D winning isnt it

 

[BYOP88]

no doubt this will be rolled out as another guy who didn't train hard enough, not committed and eating nutella who needed to dope to compete......

Yeah this sport is CLEANS.....

You're such a cynic dude! Johnny Vaughters MBA, said that everyone stopped in 2006/07/08/09/10/11..............

and horner

valverde bad in his eyes though


mental logic.

 

[DirtyWorks]

That excuse doesnt work on eastern european riders.

You have to wonder about the political impact of the UCI sanctioning a Kazakh rider at the UCI.

I'm assuming this was a urinalysis given the blood test is out of fashion. If it was, he failed the IQ test big time.

I sure hope that bottle of 'argyle snakeoil cure all ills' arrives from Slipstream sports before my next race..........

Has UCI done away with the pdf thing altogether? Couldn't find it on their new site (not that it was ever meant to be easy to find)

Wonder how this affects Astana and the MPCC?

Wonder how this affects the rift between the Kazakh and Italian factions in Astana also?

The pdf. system is still there. They have now added a new one: Provisional suspensions, and that is where V. Iglinsky is listed

There is still a Sanctions pdf.

If Astana gets another doping violation within 12 months MPCC ruels says they have to suspend themselves from their next world tour race (like Ag2r did after the positves from Hounard and Georges). Don't know if anything else happens on the MPCC front.

Thanks for the links. Very interesting that Astana is one sanction away from MPCC exclusion. You have to wonder if that's for sale by the UCI.

Shortly, another positive will be announced: Igkisky test high for stupidity.

 

[neineinei]

Definitely not part of the new clean generation.

Or as Astana puts it:

“In its wish for full transparency, Astana Pro Team has refused to defend a rider who failed to respect the rules and ethics as stipulated in his contract and who has failed to behave in a manner consistent with other riders in his team and within professional cycling.”

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/valentin-iglinskiy-sacked-by-astana-after-positive-test

Astana also gives us a new and interesting definition of transparency in cycling, It now also means a team not defending it's dopers.

 

[del1962]

Too many Iglinskys, anyway a guy with not many results over the last two years.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Would make sense for Astana to engineer another positive for one of their nobody riders, then they can have Beijing off.

 

[Gavandope]

can't he just claim the EPO positive was due to cross-contamination because his pharmacist had just served someone EPO when he went to collect his antibiotics?

Or he ate horsemeat from a doped to the gills on Edgar dead racehorse. Though a Quantum entanglement excuse would also be great!

 

[blackcat]

Looks like a desperate attempt to pick up a WT contract by him. Clearly it didn't really help him perform that well.

once his brother had won Liege, he would have always had a contract.

Like the twins Peter and Martin Velits, the less talented one gets a contract courtesy of his brother. aka The Nick Gates role.

good post great post

yes,

thought problem: Are too many Iglinskys too many Iglinskies /satire

Actually he and his brother both have a bit of reputation for being slack about training, enjoying a party or two, etc. Max's own up-and-down results have tended to look rather sketchy.

I'm assuming this was a urinalysis given the blood test is out of fashion. If it was, he failed the IQ test big time.

With him being nowhere near winning a stage or wearing a jersey, I'm amazed that they tested him. I doubt he expected to be tested either. Raises questions whether he was target tested. . . .

Now you're thinking like Vino - good job!

Doping on Astana?

Actually, it's worse than that. MPCC have recently changed their rules. An ABP suspension would now also count for the two strikes. As would disciplinary action for betting, or a motor or the such like. Deets

Then Astana better pray that the Czechs stands up to UCI and lets Kreuziger off. His hearing is supposed to be right around the corner, and Il Lombardia can be in play for Astana. Of course if he is freed by the Czechs UCI will take it to CAS, and who knows when the case will be finished then. Maybe just in time for Giro d'Italia?

Final GC at 2014 Eneco Tour, won by Tim Wellens.

I am calling this, "Doping to be a dom".

Well at least we can be confident that if one brother dopes, the other is certainly clean.

This is true, because noone in procycling knows anything about what their teammates are doing let alone their brothers....
