Fantastic...melt and matthys will get their prize, even if it's a bit hollow.

 

Do feel for KE though...he Isn't a trust fund baby like DG

We've just been talking about paying back prize money etc. If the test was done in august, how does that affect prior winnings like the epic pocket? Surely you can't pre-date it. I can understand recent winnings.

I cant believe DG is the only one... the results in these events are always so close....not possible that the others aren't on the same track (forgive the pun).

[LeTurbo]

Well, there's a precedent now, isn't there? The only possible answer is that DG be removed from the results, repay the money, and be banned from cycling for life.

I find it hard to believe KE knew nothing about DG...fact that DG did not request a B sample and pleaded guilty immediately he seemed to be relieved he was caught, definitely a old druggie.

When do we find out what the sanction is for DG?

[Vinnydabutcher]

Really feel for Kev - remember his speech -" Thanx to Bridge for putting my daugther through Jnr primary"

 

Nasty - specially since I see what I pay for my daughter to go to school

[Danger Dassie]

When do we find out what the sanction is for DG?

 

There's a tribunal under way. So once that's concluded and depending on what may or may not come out, the UCI and CSA will provide a statement.

Difficult to apply a timeline to that.

I wonder if legally KE can sue DG. I know he wont, but hypothetically speaking such a case should have some merit?

Sad so sad
