Has it been established that Kevin was doping prior to his medical problems?

Has it been established that he was consistently doping?

Or has it been established that he was doping post medical procedures?

 

Its all getting confusing because fact seems to be diluted by speculation and I stopped following this thread many many many pages back

 

Wondering about this too and the most relevant questions to ask I feel.

Won World Champs before he started doping. I say give his titles back!!

Those sales were not driven by Kevin, Microsoft cycling team as a whole would of done significantly more. If Kevin sells bikes howcome then Volcon never ever took off as well as Merckx bikes in this country as he rode both?

 

What wins on Saturday does not sell on Monday. Its been proven before. Marketing and value for money sells, back int he day Raleigh was really good value for money.

exactly.. Microsoft Raleigh mtn energise etc etc sold a crapload of road bikes. With kev ev as the face of raleigh mtb they sold a crapload of off road. There were probably more Raleighs than Giants on the trails, at the time and you can't say that kev winning xc and marathon titles had nothing to do with it.

 

They were bikes with no character, but represented damn good bang for buck. Probike understood the local market very well, and then dominated it credit to Brandon on that one.

I don't think he won much on a Volcan, but for a nothing brand cyclelab sure did shift a few.

 

You could also look at the amount of spaz bikes out there when burry was a GT rider.

Fair enough - brand awareness & sales not necessarily the same thing

 

Out of interest, you remember that Kevin Evans rode Volcon and Merckx bikes even though it happened aeons ago and the bikes not taking off - I would say that is a pretty good argument for how putting a pro on a your bike creates brand awareness!
