So, he did this at junior world track champs, surely he is getting the drugs from parents? Who is paying for it?

 

Disappointing to see a junior doping and also disappointed in the length of ban.

 

Anybody know why online nobody is naming the rider, just “doping violation” ???

Teenage kids who do cocaine and ecstasy don't always get it from their parents.

you can buy coke and e at a party or on the street , performance drugs in cycling are a bit more difficult to procure so someone close is obviously helping out  pathetic to see a juniour doping (its pathetic to see a senior also but junior is worse)

Not that hard. Spend some time at a few gyms and you'll get contacts for supplies, doctors who are 'helpful' and more than enough websites to deliver a smorgasbord to where ever you want to point it.

As his doping violation was while he was a minor they are not allowed to name him... (I read that somewhere a while ago.)

ive spent most of my adult life in gyms,sports and cycling and no one ever offered to be "helpful"

it seems somehow doubtful  a junior rider (read young person) would know where to look or what to look for unless they had some one close to them offering advice or substances...assuming he "just found this stuff himself and gave it a try " is very naive ..however im pretty sure thats the excuse he will use because apparently it works on everybody .

Just cause you haven't been offered it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It does, its a fact.

Agreed, but his parents had to pay for it. Nobody hands them out for free or in exchange for "exposure".

Maybe money from parents like pocket money etc.

 

But you never know and unless he or his folks say otherwise its speculation on how he got it.

Would he have gotten time off if there was a supplier involved and he named them...or is his sanction based on his age and substance?
