Guest Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Have we got a serious doping issue here in SA that such discussions are taking place? Sponsorship should only support clean athletes and so too should all events. Promote the sport, don’t short change it.... we can thank that a PRiCK Lance for that title!
intern Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Danish media linking Jacob Fuglsang and Alexey Lutsenko to Michele Ferrari https://cyclingtips.com/2020/02/report-jakob-fuglsang-linked-with-banned-doctor-michele-ferrari/Remember when Fuglsang won the Epic with Roel Paulissen - Roel got nabbed ages ago.

intern Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Wonder if it is motoman's scooter?That thing is a piece of PED royaltyAaah motoman. The real hero in these sordid tales.
intern Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I'm pretty sure he was at it long before then, probably why a move to a team like Astana was never an issue... gotta love a team run by that bastion of ant-doping - Alexandre Vinokourov What a lovely team they are: https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/astanas-uneasy-ride-professional-peloton-139345 Back to Fuglsang, his Cape Epic partner of three years (Roel Paulissen), has long been on the naughty list. If I'm not mistaken, they won the epic and then he (Fuglsang) moved to road cycling because we all know it's only roadies that dope It's all a lekker circus frankly... don't dig too deep, it's all too obvious and totally ruins the spectacle Sorry Andrew I repeated you...

SwissVan Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have access to the veloClub of the secret pro? Would be interesting to read this: https://mailchi.mp/cyclingtips/newsletter-1791169?e=8ea4d3eafd Edited February 4, 2020 by SwissVan Andrew Steer 1
SwissVan Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Another link from the secret pro / cycling tips Read the comments below the article, some pearlers there "Well we know with Vino, the team doctors and the team’s history of doping positives that it would be absolutely extraordinary if they are not doping. But you see from their statement already they throw Jakob under the bus and also say “we got approved for UCI licence” so we meet all the anti-doping requirements which is a pretty transparent message to the UCI that is they go after Astana it will blow back on the UCI" https://cyclingtips.com/2020/02/astana-and-ferrari-deny-recent-reports-of-working-together/
DrRichard Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Roeland Schoeman - banned for a year?south-africas-2004-olympic-champion-roland-schoeman-gets-one-year-doping-ban-42230168 not sure how you explain how GW501516 gets into your system when it was an experimental drug now no longer being developed? If he did indeed take it intentionally - a lousy way to end your career.

If he did indeed take it intentionally - a lousy way to end your career. Its GW50156. You do not take this un-intentionally. Edited February 7, 2020 by J Wakefield Pure Savage and Andrew Steer 2
Long Wheel Base Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 "The triple world champion failed to qualify for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics but had said last year he was still hoping to qualify for one more Games." aaaand that's why he took the stuff. Gen, SwissVan, BigDL and 1 other 4
Patchelicious Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Its GW50156. You do not take this un-intentionally. Kind of like Probenecid Jewbacca 1
Knersboy Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I have always thought swimming is a pretty dopey sport, the rate at which records tumble seems too high to me. Vetplant 1
SwissVan Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I have always thought swimming is a pretty dopey sport, the rate at which records tumble seems too high to me.Swimming is very technical and improvements are not only derived from fitness and muscle improvements. Coaching and swimming technique plays a big role as well... Gen 1
Jewbacca Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Swimming is very technical and improvements are not only derived from fitness and muscle improvements. Coaching and swimming technique plays a big role as well...Yeah, this is true. Very true BUT... to get to national level most people have just as good a stroke as each other. It then comes down to marginal gains. Swimming is a game played in hundreths of seconds. The margins at the top are tiny
