Not many would be willing to gamble with an 8 year ban, is that would be the majority and for most their entire career.

what's the term reduction for good behaviour? I ask because even Oscar gets to walk this Friday, 10 months into a 5 year sentence for killing someone.

Also read this yesterday and thought about cycling immediately. This ban effectively removes a possibility of a comeback!

 

Heck look at the current results and some of the podium finishers locally, banned for two years, back this year and performs as though they were never gone...makes one think

2 years is enough time to dope and train really hard and come back better than ever.

Problem is she is a repeat offender, not the first time she was caught doping (2004)

And when does the 8 year ban start from, hopefully from 2015 and not 2010 or 2012

did he ever manage to smash the strava records he was planning.

 

last news i can find on him is he crashed whilst training on mont ventoux. since he doesn't have to worry about wada, he goes open season on stimulants - but maybe buying in the maccds parking lot aint the brightest - http://road.cc/content/news/117683-riccardo-ricc%C3%B2-reportedly-caught-red-handed-buying-doping-products
