Doping git thread

So what does that mean in plain English? There are allegations but CADF and Sportradar couldn't back any up enough to withstand a likely court appeal?

Allegations and that's it ? Or in non legal terms rumours ?

Looks like UKAD need to get their skates on and charge Freeman if they don't want the statute of limitations to run out (assuming they decide that they have enough to charge him with), meaning that they may have to move before the end of the giant filibustering GMC tribunal hearing..

It's easier to forgive the older ones who doped when they were all at it, in the Armstrong era, than the young ones like Priedler, that Alderlass has exposed .

I am a long time retired pro rider and most of riders are at it one way or another always have been and always will be so you either accept it or you don`t

 

[roadrash]

i suppose we can choose whether to accept it or not regardless of whether you are a retired pro rider or not, your statement adds nothing as it stands.

We all know it’s gone on since day one, and human nature being what it is always will, it’s just that now people are not as over the top to have a barnstorming performance, just a bit more discreet by pushing the rules as far as possible without actually breaking them, too much.

Thank you so much for your unsolicited opinion. We all really appreciate the in depth knowledge and insight of an old pro...

Anyone know whether random out of season testing is still going ahead.
or is lockdown a cheats dream to get some PEDs in whilst no one is looking?

It was discussed on The Cycling Podcast with Moore, Birnie and Friebe. UK Anti-Doping is continuing but reduced capacity because of anti-virus measures. Other countries vary, partly due to lockdown severity varying.

Now imagine what happens if someone's caught breaking lockdown to get dope!
