Patchelicious Posted August 22, 2014 Share Careful...Not because of KE, but because of George and Stewart. He lost sponsors before because of his teammates. EDIT: Two of his team mates have been banned in the last two years FACT. Sponsors get nervous about this thing, guilty or not. Look at Oscar, legally he is not guilty of anything yet, but he has lost most of his sponsors. You read it as me inferring someone is guilty, when I was actually saying sponsors care more about their brand and what it is associated with than whether someone is guilty or not. EDIT EDIT: Point proven two posts down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted August 22, 2014 Share Knox might find another team, but I cannot see Kevin finding something else. To many guys that are now younger and faster than him. Knox has also been riding for a lot of different teams in the last 3/4 years. It may not be that easy finding another ride.. there are better youngsters that need and deserve the sponsorship more than him..

I am sure it was Jan 2013? Please correct if I'm wrong, he could ride like Roel Paullison is. (for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct if I'm wrong, he could ride like Roel Paullison is. (for example) Any athlete (professional or amateur) sanctioned by their federation or national anti-doping authority (NADA) for use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) after 1 January 2013, whether at another event or out of competition, will be banned for life from participating in the Absa Cape Epic.

Please correct if I'm wrong, he could ride like Roel Paullison is. (for example)From the cape epic site "Any athlete (professional or amateur) sanctioned by their federation or national anti-doping authority (NADA) for use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) after 1 January 2013, whether at another event or out of competition, will be banned for life from participating in the Absa Cape Epic. Not only will the person not be allowed to participate (as an amateur rider or UCI- licensed elite), but the individual will also be banned from being involved on any level including as a team manager." The sanctioned imposed on him is effective from 27 March 2014. He tested positive for the banned substance on 7 July 2013 during an out-of-competition test. As I understand it....NO MORE EPIC except from your couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted August 22, 2014 Share I won't be surprised if KE deciders after this to exit/retire. G Fedgroup have just put out an official post on FB to say BS company has been dissolved and Fedgroup have pulled there sponsorship with immediate effect. It goes on to say that the will support MN and KE till the end of the season but are now gonna focus on cycling in schools and at Grass roots level.
