Squier Posted October 17, 2018 Share Worse, confidence is an amazing thing. Winning probably would have had a massive impact on training and future performance if clean and winning.Still think these tools should be charged with fraud - no difference between this and stealing from your business. Agreed, the definition of sport changes when it becomes someones livelihood. There's obviously a couple of different definitions, but fundamentally fraud is defined as "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain". That's pretty much the definition of doping too. Gen and peetwindhoek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtr1 Posted October 17, 2018 Share I have always said, only way to stop doping is to allow retroactive testing of samples, and to make it a criminal offence to be caught. That way you can dodge a test today, but not in the future once a test is developed or improved, and a criminal record effects you for the rest of your life. They should even get jail time for extreme cases. And then any money recovered must go towards anti-doping efforts. Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryvdM Posted October 17, 2018 Share Lots of interesting details in the hearing report. Here is one that is inconsequential, but funny: 6.6.17.The athlete was questioned as to acquaintances he may have made through the cycling field, being former team mates that may have faced anti-doping rule violations. From the list of people the athlete my be acquainted with, four people have tested positive for either testosterone or EPO. 6.6.18.The athlete denied knowing a one Mr Brandon Stewart who had been in violation of an anti-doping rule violation(sic), however it was shown and confirmed by SAIDS that the athlete had in fact listed this person as a next of kin in a medical form provided to Mediclinic when the athlete was admitted in hospital. :lol: Edited October 17, 2018 by GaryvdM BigDL, intern, Underachiever and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted October 17, 2018 Share does it not start 2015?? " In terms of the ruling, he will be stripped of all his titles from June 16, 2015" I guess this means we can upgrade him from the tilte of "Suspected doper" to "Former Doper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
