Same for football. At least in cycling the cheats occasionally get caught, Nadal.

Tom Danielson gets 4 years for testing positive for stupidity
http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/10/news/danielson-ducks-lifetime-ban-dhea-ingestion-deemed-unintentional_422322“The basis for this reduced ban is unintentional ingestion of DHEA as the result of contamination from a supplement containing Maca root. The manufacturer of this Maca root product also produces a supplement containing DHEA, in the same facility, and this is likely how the contamination occurred,” he said in a statement
I know Cannondale is where old US Pros go to die, but surely even they tell their athletes to avoid any supplement which doesn't come from a properly certified drug free factory.

BBC Breakfast introduced their JTL interview without even mentioning his doping ban. WTF?

UKAD to investigate wiggins and sky.
UKAD should be investigating people who granted TUE.

No mention from yesterday about the fancy bears manipulating data before releasing it.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/37570246
Not surprising. Why journalists assume unethical hackers are ethical presenting the data they obtain is beyond me.
-
No one's denied it once it's been released though?
-
Damned if they do and if they don't though.
"This illegally obtained private medical data is in accurate. This is my actual private medical data."
or
"This private information was obtained illegally and I am unwilling to discuss it."
Either of those answers to any journalist can be taken the wrong way. Lose/Lose situation.
This trial by public is still detracting from the discussion of widespread state sponsored doping in Russia.

Who cares - He's a beautiful man, and should be allowed to do whatever it takes to stay beautiful. It's a gift to the world.
*swoon*

Not that it would make a blind bit of difference to the critics though - there's a section of the audience that will boo if you deny it, and there's a section of the audience that will boo if you don't.

Is it? If anything, the state sponsored doxing actually keeps the state sponsored doping in the limelight for longer, since the former is clearly the Kremlin's clumsy attempt to retaliate over the discovery of the latter.
Schneier drew attention to the insertion of fake documents among doxing releases by Russia a month ago, although in the Bear Fanciers case I'm not sure what purpose would be served by so doing. The actual data is quite a small set and relatively easy to check. A really clever hack would have changed the master records too.
There might be transcription errors, but from the few TUEs I've seen from the leak, it seems that the original documents are pretty sloppy to start with

I can't believe I'm posting a Daily Mail link but anyone interested in the Wiggins story should read it. It's very concerning... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3825848/Sir-Bradley-Wiggins-Sir-Dave-Brailsford-package-delivered-Team-Sky-Sportsmail-investigation.html

That may have come across as protesting too much? I guess if you're innocent - or think you're innocent - then you're not necessarily going to see the need to jump to your own defence, on account that your view would be that there was nothing that needed defending.
The guy has hayfever, as many people do - as I do, albeit in a far milder form than I used to - and it's true what Brad says about 'managing it' - it's just something you get used to having to deal with, like catching colds.
His account of it being quite a random thing also rings true. There are so many variables involved: the type of pollen present at any given time of the year, which his hard to predict; the time of day; the direction of the wind; how hot it is; altitude; location, etc.
I also find the effectiveness of over-the-counter remedies to be a very hit and miss affair: some days they seem to work, others not.
He also makes an interesting point about cyclists almost being compelled to take a cynical view of stuff like this so as not to court any controversy for themselves.
