For the first time it seem that someone realise that Nolan is not a development rider.He was , to put it politically correct previously disadvantaged" but he overcame this through his fam,friends,a small cycling club called rhadsport,eugene ruiters neotel etc. He is still suffering because of a stupid mistake why should the rider in questio be handled different?? Sponsor got more money??

Bullsh*t they should have had a representative at the hearing!!!! How do their minds work.

What a f**kin joke. Contaminated bottles my ass. Then the sponsor should fire everone around him as they did not look after the rider properly. I my view this is the biggest coverup by CSA and the riders team. Nolan was tested umpteen times since his days as a junior already and never tested positive until he made the biggest mistake of his life trying to satisfy others instead of listening to his own body. What does he have to show for this. 18 months on the sideline. Doping if you are a member of one of the bigger teams you get 6 months. I do not want to be a club rider who used vicks nasal spry to clear his nose. He will probably get the death sentence!!!

Nolan should not have been left off because he is a :development" rider.He made a mistake and was prepared to take the punishment,so why can't this guy. Did Neotel not invest enough money in the pockest of CSA. Using stuff that is not even available in SA and then get 6 month's.Medical exemption my ass he should have had a TUE for that. They should tell that to the man on the flippin moon!!

Yes Hendrik let's hear what CSA is going to do about this one. This kind of thing takes me back to the old days of cycling when the coloureds and black riders had to win by 2 lenghts to make sure that they were judged as the winner." Nlolan the none white must take the punishment as it comes while the white guy gets a slap on the wrist. This is pathetic enen for CSA's standards!!
