Dopers suck

[RiverInTheRoad]

Does anyone really believe that all these top guys aren't doping? Mathias just got caught, that is the only difference between him and the rest of the field. Nino probably called in a favor with his buddies.

[DamoCPT]

Does this mean he will lose his poduims and Nino gets an automatic win? 

Think it was Leogang where Nino came 2nd to Mathias

👀

at this rate, I'll be the 2014 Tuesday Spruit Marathon champ.

Yes, until proven otherwise.

Also wondering. Thus passing Absalons record?

It sounds as though Swiss Cycling has suspended MF from participating in events, while the UCI has not done so as yet as the B sample is still pending. I'm guessing if the B sample also comes back positive then the results will be amended and he will receive a suspension from the UCI.

[DieselnDust]

It also changes the overall which is good for Alan 

as for Nino…. Ya well I’ll reserve judgement but let’s say that things don’t add up.

This brings that crash in lenzerheide into a whole other light.

Crash was in Lenzerheide. 

The race in Leogang,  Nino came 2nd to Mathias.

If he gets stripped of all race results then Nino should have an automatic win thus bagging the record

Did you type that with a pencil?

Why is it 5 shades lighter than it should be and make my eyes water?

I’m guessing he’ll be appealing on some level.

Purely speculative, but doubt it’ll be surrounding the illness given the substance.

So perhaps on an issue of contamination, either beef or grain. From some reading it seems that performance benefits are negligible as an outright PED. Unless it’s used in conjunction with something else and/or masking?

[DieselnDust]

Who knows at this stage? More info will come to light. Maybe a false positive?

tainted food is a possibility but it’s neither here nor there as his racing is over till he gets this cleared up. So hes not going to be at Worlds even if the B sample comes back negative. Swiss cycling will likely want to investigate further even if the ICI doesn’t sanction him immediately.

Well this explains a few things, and here I thought Nino was getting old and slow (in context of racing at the pointy end of xco) 

I can just see Nino reading the local news over his kaffee und gipfeli this morning….😁

I think they're not. Actually, I hope they not. I bust my a$$ trying to get within a year of them, hence I hate dopers.
