I missed a few pages so this may have been answered ....

Who was he signed up to ride for in 2016? Also I know he rode under KARGO in 2015, and has either team issued a statement and subsequently pulled their sponsorship like Nedbank did when David George was found guilty?

 

I would be very dissapointed if that was the case... so few sponsors now and such great talent that needs it to support them. For that to be pulled for the fault of someone else would be a shame?

 

 

 

 

 

You dont seem to know much tbh. There was really no need to Kargo to pull sponsorship or put out any press release considering he never rode for them in 2015. 

 

Seems silly for them to do any sort of press release doesn't it??

Full Dynamix ?

 

Nope, that deal was dead halfway in the season. He had nothing really going for him for 2016 except a bike deal and some odds and ends.

Probably then why there was a desperation for solid results.

Very possible yes. But it makes you think how can 1 of our countries top riders have nothing going for him? Makes you think.

OK fokit, here's the link.

If someone wants to do more than just read it for reference purposes, it's on their head. They can mess up their health on their own account. Leave me out of it.

We will be teting the podium of the Bikehub festive season biggest loser competition for anyone ordering row 67.

 

Also, I did not see Viagra under "hardening agents". Can't be a good supplier....

That would fall under odds and ends.

Sad day when our "top" rider is on EPO and only comes 15th at best.... Cant defend that !!

 

Ok i'll bat for the poor guy

 

Coming 15th in a XCO WC race in Europe is pretty damn prestigious.... in fact just finishing on the same lap as Nino and crew is something to very excited  about....

 

Now (history lesson time) if you recall watching the race where RK did so well.... agh just see Milky's post from yesterday kindly quoted below (part of the SV Friday service)

:ph34r:   :thumbup:  

 

 

in said race he was up to 5th place & must've realized people will be too suspicious & hence decided to back off to finish 15th, who knows, just maybe he will reveal all in his autobiography??

1st rule of sponsorship... its not what your sponsor can do for you, but what you can do for your sponsor. Lately our cyclists have left sponsors red-faced and having to distance themselves from athletes who mis-behaves at events, break racing rules (taking short cuts!) and those who do not ride clean.

As much as I wanted to give Boy-George a snotklap at the time, I have to admire the "courage" to man up to his offence, all be it in the hope for a reduced sanction.

Not sure man up, would be the right wording,

Once caught did not deny maybe ;)

I saw that as well.

 

Im interested to know how and why people would use Horse tranquilizers?

Is it sore to inject other PED's and then they use the Ketamine to take away the pain?

How can you train on these things?

Ketamine is also used to get high, gained popularity overseas a couple of years ago in the rave scene. Called Special K on the dance scene

History and my cynical old age tell me that those who shout the loudest about being clean and testing and stuff must be treated with suspicion

So the WADA guys just wants all for themselves...

 

EDIT: the bastards
