The CC doping git identifiers are well ahead of the UCI, this from March 2011 Paris-Nice Spoilers thread:
Proof a leopard doesn’t change it’s spots, the article doesn’t mention it, only his being caught up in a raid when at Cofidis but the items found were legitimate supplements, I bet he retires again now. :hello:

Not sure if this is the right thread, but Armstrong has settled his law suit with the US government, for $5 million (instead of the $100 million it might have been. I reckon he might be seeing that as something of a result.

More in the Dutch press today, saying that the Vacansoleil systematically used TUEs to give its riders cortisone...

https://www.ad.nl/giro/een-uitslag-rijden-zonder-cortisonen-dat-bestond-niet~a49b154b/

The headline quote 'Een uitslag rijden zonder cortisonen, dat bestond niet' roughly translates as "A result without cortisone doesn't exist".

One of the authors of the piece, Thijs Zonneveld, is a pretty well known bike journalist (he ghosted Thomas Dekker's biog), so I don't expect that it's complete bollocks.

I may be wrong (my Dutch is weak so it's not an easy read and AD's website is pretty nasty) but the closest quote in the article body seems to be "Je was een hele knaap als je een uitslag zonder cortison kon rijden. Naar mijn idee bestond dat niet." = "You were a great guy if you could produce a result without cortisone. To my mind, that doesn't happen." Is that as ambiguous about whether it applies to only him or everyone as I think it is?
 
Movistar's Jaime Roson has been flagged for a slight cock-up on the biological passport front.

Apparently this dates back to Jan 2017 when he was at Caja Rural. They've not yet announced the details of the AAF but he is provisionally suspended with immediate effect.

No idea if he was due to ride the Tour anyway.

I'm gonna guess that a lot of other riders, not as high profile possibly, still just get a wee "heads up" letter...
