  • Fundamentally disagree with the "if you don't accept WADA and the UCI are doing their jobs, you need to provide evidence" (otherwise you're an irrational bandwagonner) statement

    Time and time again WADA and the UCI have proved they're incapable of catching and prosecuting dopers, multiple doctors and testers have all echoed this sentiment, if you're saying those that believe we should now trust them despite years of incompetence just because we can't provide evidence of doing it this time, well.... who sounds irrational now?

    Sky have continually lied, and wormed their way out of sticky situations, remember that Henao study? Well that funnily enough hasn't appeared. Records for the infamous jiffy bag? funnily enough never appeared.

    Honestly, I find it fucking laughable that anyone who thinks WADA and the UCI are doing their jobs IS rational.

  • Walk away then. It’s only sport, it’s not important.

    The UCI have been at the vanguard of anti-doping, the biological passport was a game changer in fighting doping. Anne Gripper fought long and hard to get that past internal opposition and WADA indifference.

    The sport has changed because of it, and for the better. Long gone are the outrageous dopers who effectively laughed in the faces of the authorities, today the sport is far, far cleaner. Of course it’s not perfect, and there are teams, including Sky, who exploit the grey areas around what is medical need and what is performance enhancing.

    But the days of police raids and dodgy doctors are gone.
