Doping

Also, given that Dan Martin is one of about three riders that mega-mental-sceptic Antoine Vayer seems to believe in, I'd have thought his girlfriend ought to be clean too.

Might be of interest to some. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/22/magazine/the-marriage-that-led-to-the-russian-track-teams-olympic-ban.html?_r=0 Stepanova's leading to Russian ban.

WADA just suspended the Rio Olympic doping lab for "disturbing technical irregularities"

Russia have just had their skulls rowing team banned, great news for New Zealand who now qualify for Rio. At this rate they'll be a lot of last minute surprise Olympic qualifications to fill the Spaces left by banned athletes.

I had previously been given a negative impression on here of London Dynamo...

Wow, that's the club I used to ride for.

And he's 19! How the hell do you get hold of a Doctor to do the whole rigmarole of EPO when you're just a 19yr old nobody?!

All Dynamos are on the juice

Wow, that's the club I used to ride for.

To clarify, the negative impression related more to road etiquette and approachability rather than cheating, but in this case I assume the rider didn't feel able to discuss his performances and training with any coaches or fellow riders within the club.

I dunno. I was extremely competent at DNF and DFL finishes and I didn't need the assistance of doping to achieve that.

Ugh, I've always felt uncomfortable about David Millar being embraced by the cycling world after his ban. Apparently now he's a role model for kids when they get caught doping..

“All I can affect moving forward is how I portray myself, I want to come across as a David Millar and not a Lance Armstrong. I just have to figure out a way of dealing with that as best I can.”

^ maybe he got the idea from one of Millar's BC talks as "Academy mentor."

What a waste

Miller is still a lying toad. There's no way he won the world's and then started to dope. Until he really comes clean then fuck him.

You don't. He just ordered it online and self-administered. I'd bet there's lots of self-administer instructions on body-building/other juicer forums.

He was the one busted ages ago when a father of another rider in the team found it in his bag during a training camp. Junior 10mi champ guy right?

Seems like a harsh ban for an eighteen year old.

Why? Think it's very reasonable and a little surprised he got 6 months off. How he got the money to pay for it I don't know, but he did it all of his own back apparently and was competing at national level even after he got caught, denying others their moment of glory. His post getting popped comments 'I want to be more like Millar than Armstrong' mark him out as an egotistical prat, whatever his age.

First thing I wondered was how he afforded it- but then I am assuming that doping is expensive, I suppose mail order EPO might be pennies. Do you inject it or swallow it? If the former, wonder where he got the pins and barrels.

Not exactly repentant is it?

Or, if you want to buy anonymously rather than online, nip down to John Bell & Croyden in Wigmore St and pay cash, I've bought needles from them before as they have 1001 uses around the home and workshop, regardless of any medical matters.

Thousand of people learn to inject themselves with drugs every year for various conditions or for nefarious purposes, it's not rocket sience

I seem to recall the bloke on the BBC documentary bought epo from aliexpress...

Lfc fat bloke cleared

It's shorter than most.

It's not like he took contaminated supplements or his coach dosed him, the fucker set out to cheat. Should be 8 year ban.
