So sad on so many levels.

 

What does strike me is that this may have happened under the nose of arguably SA's best coach - not that I think he would stake his growing reputation on any one client (so nothing inferred there just to be clear) - but if it can happen there then it really begs the question what aspirant cyclists are getting up to for a bit of pocket money and some fleeting fame

Who’s the coach?

When an athletes social media feed goes dead there is blood in the water!

 

Ah well. Another one down. I enjoyed following her journey for a while...

Said coach is a good friend of mine. I know for a fact that him and this athlete had parted ways at the beginning of March.

So around the time the positive result came out?

Looks like they tested in the final hard week before taper for Epic where one would be glowing, kudos to the testers.

Yup and right when the riders numbers would be peaking.

I always have to think about the partners though, would they know about the doping. Surely if train together should do...

 

For the guys that get thrown together last minute, prob not. But If all of a sudden Arron was dropping me on the flats i would call WADA.

You should call WADA on him in any case, and flag more of his rides.

Kevin and I have promised to stop flagging his rides now.
