Doping

won a sportive

lol

ahhh weird the drop down for his activities isn't working.

won a sportive

That was last year?

Tour of Cambridge last weekend.

Weekend gone, though technically it was a Gran Fondo rather than a Sportif

And we all know the doping record with gran fondos.

Where dirty old pros go to make money...

Not according to this:

The Strava link someone posted was from 2017.

Ok, I wrongly assumed as it was this weekend just gone and some had just posted a link to a tour of Cambridge ride it would have been for this year. Why would you post a link to a 12 month old ride?

Because you're trying to prove something?

You can follow him here:

He's in Mallorca. I don't know what that proves.

Must be training with @skinny

trying to escape his cloying "Team Owner, Manager and Directeur Sportif" and his urgent directives about having matching bottles visible in all team bike photography...

I couldn’t recover quick enough to train with him.

So what's Dr Richard Freeman's book on the 'jiffy bag scandal' going to tell us that we don't already know?

wait, so he was too ill to talk about it to the committee but he's managed to tap out a novella on the subject in the interim?

Self-diagnosis is a wonderful thing...

Given he’ll still be bound by patient confidentiality, I doubt it’ll tell us much.

seems our favourite masters Cat 1 champion cyclist is having trouble getting his (anti) doping results...

He still doesn't deny getting on the juice though does he.

I don't know the UK road racing scene, but I still find it bizarre that he has just stopped. Has there been no actual racing going on?

I'm confused.

Why would this have anything to do with FOIA legislation?

I'm calling shenanigans.

I’m guessing he has got frustrated with not getting the results so has submitted a data subject request.

I guess BC have just been slow to issue them.

If they say the results will be available in X days the onus is on them to at least communicate delays and reasons for this.

That said, yeah. Weird

Maybe they never tested his sample. Maybe they wanted to test it for more than the standard test. Lots of 'process' type reasons. Strange

Also strange that about the same time all this has kicked off that the prestigious owner/DS decided to "move onto new projects" at the end of the season and won't be sponsoring the team any more... coincidence or just representative of midlife crisis induced compulsive behaviours?
