David George gets 2 years

[HappyMartin]

para 5 says hes going to help?

 

It says he is going to help establish testing protocols. What disappoints me is he says he has no info regarding supply or any any info on anyone else involved. He say he acted on his own. Didn't know you could make EPO

[kosmonooit]

Do you think he will have 'the nerve' to make a comeback to mtb?

[American Flyers]

They should ban him for life, if he does not tell us where he got EPO and which type?

He better stay away from cycling...

well an oke on the hub is making his own carbon frame so I suppose a little EPO in the kitchen cant be too hard........ja, I know what you mean, but no one ever tells where they bought it from.......ever!

[Jakkals.]

Unless you worked for the governement ...if you steal, you get promoted.

 

haha, first you get send to a different department, but with the luxury of an higher position.

 

but yes, what you said. very true my friend.

[Dustbug]

Epo is readily available it is used to treat a number of medical conditions, if doctors in this county will sell sick notes they will sell scripts just like with steroids supplied to school kids and gyms etc... if u read the background to the LA affair u will see one of his main sponsors on US postals was one of the original developers and mass producers of Epo so no doubt they had very easy access to any amount they wanted at very little cost.

[Meezo]

so.... who's this David George oke?

[megdobson]

I'm a bit confused...why is it prize money only after 5 Nov when he was tested end of Aug? Apologies if i have got this all wrong

[JustinHayes]

so.... who's this David George oke?

 

Ex teammate of LA

My sentence

 

10 years + some contribution to the development of cycling at Songo + 2 years pro bono work with CSA to help them move forward.

[Iwan Kemp]

Commenting on the sentence George received, Galant says: “George claims his EPO doping was isolated to himself and he could not provide us with information in terms of an infrastructure of doping. Hence he received the standard two-year ban, as there were no grounds for a reduction in this sanction.”

 

 

I say MINIMUM two years if you spill the beans, life if you don't. Surely he was buying it SOMEWHERE and had to use it after, before, during races. Someone else HAD to know. Ridiculous.

[Cav']

Expect to see him on SuperCycling as a co host soon

[babse]

epo is readily available, expensive bt its is available... i bought heard this from a local chemist

[Wyatt Earp]

2 years for effing up other peoples lives.

Sounds like he was given that flippen life line.

[Blindspot]

He should be made to participate in all multi-stage endurance events ..................... on a unicycle without a saddle

 

Fixed

I'm sorry but that is such BS! EPO may or may not be readily available - but it is definately NOT legally available for the purpose DG used it. Someone broke the law and / or their ethical codes to get it to him - whether a doctor, pharmicist or someone brought it into the country illegally.

 

2 years is the maximum penalty that can be dished our right now, which really is a sad sad joke. I believe the proposal on the table is for this to be increased to 4 years... We are not going to see life time bans anytime soon (unless you are Lance that is).
