Vinicius yesterday....Lazkano today... anything fishy going on at Movistar 🙄

 

[misforturob]

I seem to remember people criticizing Ineos for not signing him, they're probably pretty happy about that decision now

Another breakout Spanish rider suddenly performing way beyond anything previously? Surely not.

Shame about/shame on Lazkano.
Really liked the way he rode last year....now we know why.

"One detail stands out: Lazkano’s former Movistar coach was Leonardo Piepoli, the ex-Saunier Duval rider who served a doping ban and is still officially part of the Movistar setup. Their relationship was never hidden."

That's outstanding: I wonder who Ricco's coaching between shifts at the ice cream parlour.

We know where Gianetti and Matxín are.

UCI must be catching up with their homework in the off-season. Portuguese veteran Antonio Carvalho gets suspended due to the unexplained winning of 3 stages of the Volta a Portugal.

Rather than abnormalities in his biological passport...?

Strictly speaking, I think they use winning stages in the Volta a Portugal to trigger target testing, rather than calling it a straight out failed test. Otherwise it would look like a good old fashioned track sprint on the startline

.it's weird seeing these names still in the sport piepolli was Riccardo lite FFS .

Mind you Gianetti wasn't shy of the needle or any new random 5h1t.

What is lazkano doing that triggered his passport ? Do we know ?

Is it evidence the passport is working?

Plenty if old school dopers still very much involved in the sport, and tbh, given how widespread it was it's probably a bit difficult to just remove them

As for the passport, I'm not sure, memory very hazy, but did someone win a case against the passport about ten years ago? Then it all went very quiet. So maybe they've fixed something now to make it more credible in a court?

Didn't Gianetti try and bully doctors who blew the whistle on him via legal action? Sure Armstrong was hounded out of the sport for that kind of behaviour.
