Toon Aerts faces two-year ban for letrozole positive

"Hair samples often provide a breakthrough in murder cases," Aerts said. "Now we will use it in a doping case, because the evidence is in my hair."

keen on that picture. Looks like Diot came into the velodrome on about 4psi.

Clever of you to spot that, but I think it must be a trick of the camera lens - it seems impossible that with all those pressmen there and the fact that he won the sprint so conclusively that no one noticed that he'd punctured..... if he had done so.

I like this picture because it captures exhaustion on their faces. I think the caption could be translated as 'They couldn't leave each other'

Betsema got a 6 month off season ban for repeated positives for steroids, Aerts gets a proposed 2 year ban for a single faint positive for a breast cancer drug.

Consistency is always an issue with UCI doping sanctions.

Irks the fuck out of me that journalists never challenge people who bring up the woke agenda/woke debate/tofu wokerati as to what they mean by 'woke', and why being woke is a bad thing.

Disappointing from van Aert.

.

He thinks suddenly that racism has been "added" to black Pete?
He can get to fuck

That was fucking excellent. So much uk talent

the 4th is the biggest result today, salute.

Why are they so desperate to stop their watches immediately after crossing the line? Their coach can just clip the file in TP.

First vlogger.

Not a good look in light of yesterday’s interview.

No mention of Fred in TCP’s 2023 predictions. Will he break his World Tour duck in 2023?
