Eldron Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 In other news - Amrstrong has returned his bronze medal. Methinks gold and silver should also be returned ;-) http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ioc-receives-lance-armstrongs-2000-olympic-bronze-medal So no medal for Olano? I think he's cleanish....don't remember any marks on his book... What about 5th and 6th now? Maybe the oke in 47th place deserves a medal. Once you take 1 medal away it just gets silly. All or none. I wonder if Mr. Cookson is a hubber?

ibruegge Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 yeah, giving these back to him is basically saying that not playing by the rules is fair if all of us do it. A bit like speeding fines in South Africa.
kjind Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I think his attitude towards the doping over the years cost him the titles, not the doping itself. VicanZA, Danger Dassie and igknot 3
Manx Man Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 What sort of message would this send to up and coming riders......
Madlight Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Yeah, he was the best doper of all the dopers. He deserves the medals.....(unfortunately)
T-Bob Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Seems Like Ullrich isn't going to be saying 'sorry' any time soon and deffo not going to be giving his medals back to the IOC. http://www.cyclingne...-olympic-medals That is one rider from the past who doesn't seem to think he's done a single thing wrong by being a drug donkey.
