Doping

"hippy tested positive for nandralone but was given a reduced sentence after his food diary showed he had eaten 3 pigs in the previous three days"

Just be careful in choosing your mid-ride snacks.

nandralone

Is there a pun on 'alone' in there or why the fairly consistent mis-spelling?

So 9 pigs?

You can also get a false positive for the same substance from eating a slightly leavened Indian bread cooked in a tandoor.

Sorry - that’s naandralone.

Nothing that clever I'm afraid, I'm just misssssspellllling it because I've never looked closely at its spelling.

As if I write down ALL the pigs. My coach might look at this diary.

Or get a divine blessing from some nundralone?

When a pro-cyclist breaks their collarbone, it’ll be plated within 24 hours, so there’ll be some discomfort for a while, but it’s structurally sound again.

Hah - tell that to @TM

Can you imagine how much tainted beer hippy would have to drink to record a positive test?

They’re needs to be a thread for the dodgy shit that British (Scottish) cycling coaches get up to other than doping, I heard the juiciest gossip this week.

ooooh

This would probably be where Velocio reminds me about that time they tried to take the clubs affiliation away because I called them “dodgy cunts” right enough!

Come on!

Lets just say that while it might seem obvious to some that are certain 'services' you wouldn't want to be soliciting while wearing a national governing body uniform and driving a heavily liveried vehicle, other people fail to realise that reneging on payment for said 'services', while making themselves so identifiable, is not the best idea.

I still haven't been paid. Pricks.

Doping?

Of course not but she signed a piece of paper that said “I will not partake of the Mary Jane”

Anyway, #tennishasadopingproblem

If you’re not sure, just take a half

Aristóbulo Cala and Edwin Avila suspended for doping.

What’s with the support for Richardson? Is there more to the story. Seems talk of double standards and built up to be brought down but Is there more to it than a lot of people seeing cannabis as recreational rather than performance enhancing?
It all seems to also avoid the fact the Fraser-Pryce is No1 too?

Who?

Oh right Sha'Carri.

Surely the story is she was popped for something that's not performance enhancing.

Fraser-Pryce was also suspended for taking something that wasn't performance enhancing.

Doping allegations again at the Tour
