Daryl Impey cleared!

[gtr1]

Will always be those that want to see others fail or fall. Can't accept some things that are just good and right. And that some people are upright and honest.

 

Just ask why Daryl would risk an international career, the associated money, his reputation, his contract, as well as pay back all his salary to his team........just to win the SA time trial title ?????

 

And the drug is not even performance enhancing.

Actually SAIDS has no fault on their side. They did the test according to protocol (no matter how long it takes to get the results, which sometimes are up to the labs and not SAIDS) and gave the results and suspension, they heard his side (and tested it, as it was his job to defend himself and prove himself not guilty) and withdrew the allegations/sanctioning.

 

They did their job, correctly and thoroughly at that.

Also struggling to see how they are the villain now, they did their job as you pointed out

Okay - that has made my Friday !!

Just goes to show how off-target doping testing is, and I hope Daryl comes back stronger than ever before like Mick Rodgers.

Naïve (of a person or action) showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment.

 

So tell me... If we give Daryl the benefit of the doubt based on what (at best) a sketchy sounding story, surely we need to give the likes of Contador who "accidentally ate tainted beef" and Frank Schleck the benefit of the doubt as well?

 

Now I'm not singling out Daryl, I'm just saying that nearly all pro-cyclists are doping in some way or another and if you don't believe that, I would suggest you read the definition on the first line of this comment.

Probably boils down to proof. As much as I like Contador, he couldn't prove the contamination. Daryl could. So it's not benefit of doubt it's what you can prove.

Next one to be reduced is BS

Agreed, they could have just been a bit quicker with releasing the reports I think.

 

But damned if they ban and damned if they don't. I would hate to be in their position.

Thats awkward as Impey is married...

 

Additionally, Impey has never won the road race, so only wears "SA champs" skin-suits from winning the SA Champs TT for the last two years.

 

Ive been told that you can have both but its ALWAYS best they dont know one another

The way everyone in the office looked at me when I jumped up and did the happy dance Goooooo Impey!!

Cool story but your story smacks of speculation and has no facts, just mere opinions and skeptical beliefs.

My suggestion, keep the finger nails as short as possible ,some barrels have a lot of residue at the bottom.

the tests worked perfectly, they detected the banned substance. The ingestion was accidental.

There are others how presented enough evidence to excuse the inadvertent congestion, like Mick Rodgers last year. And lets remember with El Berto, the finding was there was no evidence he took the drugs purposefully or intently, they just didn't buy his excuse story due to lack of evidence.

More the process as a whole I am referring to .

Rubbish. They sat on a positive result for 7 weeks then Daryl battled to get them to set a date for the tribunal. If they weren't so useless he could possibly have ridden the TDF or at least the Vuelta. They have a responsibility to settle issues as rapidly as they can. This has cost Daryl a year of his career. He is talking of taking them to court. Hope he does

Wonder how much income he lost due to this?!

[Tromp]

This is like crapping in your pants , only to realize that it was only wind ( may stink a little , but what a relief !)
