Dubber Posted January 24, 2018 Share I've seen a couple tweets to the effect that the new Cape Epic owners are to rescind the rule around not allowing riders with drug infringements from entering the event. Is this true? Does anyone have anymore clarity on the the exact changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmichael Posted January 24, 2018 Share Think David George did the epic a year ago... so that rule sort off did not apply ... Sean Faria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenReaper Posted January 24, 2018 Share He did yes, but he rode as a privateer not competing for any podium position.Apparently the ban only prevents riders with past infringements from competing for any honors but still allows them to enter as "fun riders" of sorts.Or so I was brought to understand.

Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted January 24, 2018 Share Life bans only applies to LA. Anyone else can get caught doping, serve a short sentence and come back and then we (some) cheer for them as well Duane_Bosch, IH8MUD, Wannabe and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisismyotherbike Posted January 25, 2018 Share His transgressions fell outside the cut-off date stipulated in the rule.Think the same applied to Hincapie, he actually participated in a competitive division last year. I wouldn't be too surprised if this rule is relaxed further in future as in Ironman dopers are typically given 2-4 year bans.

ChUkKy Posted January 25, 2018 Share Let the dopers race.Will be great to see some Mad Max style racing, biting handlebars, biting the oke next to you in an angry rage.When they finish the stages, hand them a double espresso and a redbull to settle them down a bit.
