Dopers suck

[Shebeen]

100% with this, but ya smoke and fire. Until someone like Salazar and a bunch of his athletes get serious jail time, a suspension/ban is but a slap on the wrist...

salazar's email address is something like:

 

 

alberto.s@nike.com???

Yes he whispers in the breeze were definitely spot on with this one. Its a shame but she wasn't exctly lighting up the XCO courses anyway.

Surely at the end of the Corona crisis all doping bans should be extended by the period of the crisis when competitions were suspended?...

Looks like the ban is dated back to March 24th 2018.....which would be the Saturday before the Cape Epic finished....

So neither organization wants to take responsibility then.

Was thinking the other day.............it all is a bit of a shitshow really.

 

Our current Elite MTB XCM champ is a caught doper and banned for life at the epic but 6 years later she kicks everyone's ass at Nationals.

 

How can one trust any result these days?

Can't not respect her attitude to this... having worked with her briefly as well on a custom SA kit, I can tell you she is a proper professional. Hope the youngsters coming through the ranks are taking notes
