justinafrika Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Not just about doping but he does comment about doping and some of the current best GC riders. Some interesting Team Sky, and more current, insights and very much looks like an all around fascinating read. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/oct/10/alex-dowsett-professional-cycling-is-fragile-billionaires-come-in-invest-and-get-blown-away Edited October 11, 2023 by justinafrika devvydoesdonuts 1

Isn't golf officially an Olympic sport? If USADA haven't been knocking yet, it blows my mind as to why not. Dude is a UNIT.

How badly did he f-up? I was curious about that as well so I looked it up - he is a repeat offender. 16 minutes ago, mecheng89 said: Seems I've double posted, I didn't realise the article mentioned a cyclist until now. Said cyclist came third in his age category at SA TT Champs last year - CSA seems to have quietly scrubbed the result from their social media posts. I wonder if the gent who came 4th on the day is even aware that he was robbed of a podium.

One incredible talent, that went wayward. He was a lynchpin in that incredible Ackerman Lions team that came back from relegation to make it to 3 consecutive SR finals, combined with FdK. He had King Carlos in his corner as a youngster and later did his best to get to Carter's level. He has a well deserved RWC winners medal hanging up in his bar. I wonder if maybe he wouldn't have been better as a football player, given his temperament, and remember, Beaudie still loves you.....
