geomark Posted October 1, 2019 Share This story is breaking after a long period of behind closed doors legal activity since the original 2015 allegations, going to be embarrassing for Nike as well as Farah Alberto Salazar: Mo Farah's former coach banned for four years for doping violationshttps://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/49882757 https://twitter.com/bbcmarkdaly/status/1178820933873745921?s=11 Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted October 29, 2019 Share I see the British Cycling doctor who received a stash of Testosterone patches at the Team Sky head office, but claimed it was delivered erroneously, is being tried before some medical tribunal in the UK. He has now admitted that he DID order the patches, but they were not for any cyclist, but for one of the support staff. Whilst the Mail is not the world's ultimate source of truth, it is not a bad recorder, and is here staying away from idle speculation but is reporting on the facts presented to the hearing by his lawyer and The Times is running an identical story behind their pay-wall. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-7625725/British-Cycling-doctor-Richard-Freeman-admit-telling-lot-lies.html Edited October 29, 2019 by eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomark Posted January 28, 2020 Share So it would appear that some dopers really do suck, and apparently swallow .... still a better story than Daryl Impey Canoe star Laurence Vincent Lapointe found not guilty of taking banned substancehttps://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/canoe-kayak/laurence-vincent-lapointe-doping-verdict-1.5441395 Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomark Posted January 28, 2020 Share "In a news release, the ICF said it has "accepted Ms. Vincent Lapointe's evidence which supports that she was the victim of third-party contamination."Vincent Lapointe told Radio-Canada recently that the trace amounts could have come from bodily fluids exchanged with her former boyfriend as Ligandrol can be transferred through saliva, sweat and semen." So;1) how long until someone bust in the men's peleton suddenly comes out of the closet as gay?2) does this get around the no needles rule?

Vetplant Posted January 28, 2020 Share Fascinating. Obviously in any overturning of an adverse finding the evidence must be very substantial to convince a panel to overturn the ruling. Well done to the legal team. Very odd, none-the-less. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Steer Posted January 28, 2020 Share She may well be innocent... but this just opens up another loophole for dopers to slide on through Counter contamination, kissing, 'other fluid swaps', inhaler explosions, racing pigeon pie... the opportunities for lawyers are endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted January 28, 2020 Share [sNIP]... still a better story than Daryl Impey [sNIP)I am an unapologetic Impey fan, but I couldn't remember the exact circumstances around his alleged doping incident, so had to go look again. He raced the SA TT in FEB 2014. Cycling SA informed him only in JUNE that he had an adverse finding. What utter Bull%$#% from CSA?!4 months!He was the first south african to wear the Yellow Jersey at the TDF the year before and due to this finding he was forced to miss both the TDF and Vuelta that year. It makes it exponentially more difficult for a sports professional to retrace their steps the longer time passes from the event. So the fact that they could retrace the steps to that Durban pharmacy and they were able to find the necessary hard evidence in forms of till register receipts tells me the story checks out, no matter how far fetched it sounds. People should probably be careful of insinuating an element of fraud in this case, as a registered medical professional is involved and there is only negative consequences for him with no benefit if he was to forge those receipts just to clear a sports person. Calling someone who has been found guilty of doping a "doper" is probably fair game. But can we please move on from any professionals that have been cleared of any wrongdoing through the proper anti-doping structures. (Yes I know Lance never tested positive but different era etc.) PS: " contaminated with Probenecid, which can be used as a masking agent and is not a performance-enhancing drug." " It is primarily used in treating gout and hyperuricemia." It is not like he used EPO or blood doped. OK, I'm done DieselnDust, davidtinker and Danger Dassie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted January 28, 2020 Share I never thought the title of this thread would be so accurate, doper did suck. AND THEY CONFESSED FOR ONCE to sucking, not the doping. Spinnekop, BigDL, mazambaan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted January 28, 2020 Share Maybe Fand should update the title, not all dopers suck, technically. This lawyer is going to get so much work now from the dutch cyclo cross ladies. geomark and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
