@ulif: 2 EPO positives during OOC control at GFNY NYC
https://t.co/Iu9ngrBr7P https://t.co/KKdyyAyJHm -
not to mention more sanctions on Colombian riders as of yesterday
https://www.instagram.com/p/By3iikJJlBz/ idk anymore. bums me out. why dope at a gran fondo?*why dope at any of this obvs
-
because it's a "race" so people will cheat. I thought it was known that gran fondos are just full of guys too doped up to be a pro.
-
Does anyone know what happened to that guy Arlen who was smashing it up for a couple of years then disappeared once the testers knocked on his door?
-
On an event like this I guess not everyone would be tested, and didnt he have a winner of his ride/ race a few years ago who tested positive?
-
I was wondering if 'intelligence led' or as you say bonkers improvement
-
Retire at the top, best way to go out
-
Felipe Mendez (Colombia) and Gabriel Raff (Argentina)
"out-of-competition controls"
"Mendez finished 71st in 4:51:39" FUCKING LOLz
"Raff finished the race in 25th place" FUCKING LOLz
Raff was "professional Ironman triathlete" so all his tri times, results are dead now.
"Both were among several randomly selected athletes out of a testing pool of 60, which contained riders with a legitimate chance to place in the top 10 overall or win an age group."
"These are the sixth and seventh positive doping controls in GFNY NYC's nine-year history. "
-
Thanks, I know they are really competitive races so he either got lucky or....
-
I wonder how much his EPO cost, how proud he is of his 71st place and now what he thinks about the whole situation since his name is now shit across the world? I'd love to get some honest answer from these cheats once in a while. Like Raff, was he cheating the whole time he was a pro trihardalete?
-
"Mendez finished 71st in 4:51:39" FUCKING LOLz
I think the shock of getting a surprise test that morning must have been weighing on his mind.
-
No word though? Just the team disbanded and he called it a day. I guess the sacrifices we all make to build that level of fitness is not for everyone
-
Martin Maes getting banned for 90 days is a shambles when it was prescribed by the doctors at a race and the original antibiotics didnt work. Just crap from the UCI
UCI is one rule for one and another for another.
-
What amazes me is that anyone expects any top flight athletes to be racing/competing clean.
Sure there may be those that do out of some sense of probity or whatever, but teams want to win, sponsors want teams to win, competition organisers want records broken at their meets, nations want gold medals etc, so the pressure to perform better than the next guy is always going to mean people doing their best to do 'better'.
Like they say, the game is the game, and generally the game is to stay one step ahead of the testers.
Lets level the playing field in the only way that's fair, and accept performance enhancement for what it is - performance enhancement. Otherwise you may as well ban aero helmets, skin-suits, shaved legs and eating more than 8000 calories a day. Get as much science inside you as possible, and lets see what you can do.

I think you should lower your reserve price.

You can't blame people for skepticism when it comes to pro cycling "wins".
Except Cadel, obvs :)
