Toasted marshmallows Posted March 17, 2022 Share Cape epic lost all appeal... as a company they have no back bone stating lifetime ban on convicted dopers..... yet allowing them to race.... why have set rules when not following through with them? Or is it just an eye blinder???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted March 17, 2022 Share 14 minutes ago, Toasted marshmallows said: David george He squeaked in by a whisker - the Epic ban is from 1 Jan 2013 onwards - he was bust in 2012. They should make a special case for him not to attend though - he is the apex SA doper - proper omerta fuelled EPO drug cheat.

Or is it just an eye blinder???? As Eldron pointed out, the lifetime ban was started in 2013 and doesn't apply retrospectively, so they are not broking their own rules. He also would not be the first or only ex-doper who have ridden the Epic since 2013. I doubt he will be anywhere near the frontrunners anyway.
