No Daryl Impey for Tour de France - Positive Test Result

"Presumably contaminated food... We are all very concerned. How do you prove something you're not even aware of. Daryl is shattered because he's currently a much better cyclist than last year and he was eager to again make history this year. In a year's time, my son has gone from being a national hero to a villian who everybody wants to crucify."

Three tests in three days is pretty standard.

Those guys get tested at random as the organisation pleases.

If you're winning a race or a major contender for the TDF etc sure, but I'd seriously disagree on it being the norm, especially for a rider of his level.

Each to their own though, we can't agree on everything - that would be boring!

I feel sorry for him, but I wonder if his team doctor spike stuff in their food or drinks.... His team doctor was involved with doping in years back and he should be banned for life!

Who?

[American Flyers]

Looks like the supplement program is being run by Dr Manuel Rodriguez Alonso, rather than through Green Edge's AIS connections

Also look at Matt White, sport director at Orica-GreenEdge, admitted Saturday that he doped during his tenure as a rider at the U.S. Postal Service.

I like the comment left by Gavin. It seems people like to hit on cyclists. We are always the baddies. Screw them.

I feel huge sympathy for him and his family. His wife, young child, mom and dad and brother all suffer through this. Hope it turns out OK for everyone.

Yes, it's heart breaking, Why would he risk all of that by doping?

Hold on so it's a SAFFA that gets caught and suddenly there's a grey area....

Fixed.

 

Not an ounce of sympathy for him. You play with fire, you get burnt.
