Odinson Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Yes and no. At some point the UCI has to accept that the doctors decision on treatment for the rider is the last call and therefore this should be taken into account. this is the UCI arguing with itself and the riding paying the price. Seems that way. It's also important to keep in mind that this did not happen during an EWS, but during a local NZ enduro that was being used by Maes as a warm up for Rotorua. So, perhaps, the race doctor that was treating Maes was not as clued up on banned substances as those attending the EWS races. This is pure conjecture/speculation on my part.
anybody seen george? Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 GT/MM also don't say exactly when they applied for the TUE, but I believe it was after the failed doping tests were announced. I assume they only applied after the test returned positive. I think had they applied immediately it would have been granted to him and we'd not be having this conversation.
Jewbacca Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I'll admit, the timeline isn't detailed in the statement, but it seems to be the case that the substance was only prescribed after the initial antibiotics failed and it was either using the substance or be hospitalized. Thus, a preemptive TUE wasn't on the cards, I believe. GT/MM also don't say exactly when they applied for the TUE, but I believe it was after the failed doping tests were announced. So he needed naughty drugs to get up to speed faster so he could compete? His choice was miss the event/events until better or risk competing having taken something he shouldn't have. The fact that Tues were applied for means they knew he had taken something banned or they were caught and then applied. Either way, without help he wouldn't have been able to race. Shane Warne served 2 years for being caught trying to speed up his recovery from a shoulder operation. Guilty. Burn him

Burn him Er no lets take a few steps back. they applied for the TUE AFTER the doc had the followup check up ton the healing process. They then opted for the course of Probenicid and applied for the TUE when they could not establish if it was banned or not.

It seems they only applied for the TUE after the failed tests came to light. If they had checked the substances ASAP after treatment and then applied for a TUE, then this probably wouldn't have been an issue.
Andrew Steer Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Hmm. I'm not so sure about that. It seems they only applied for the TUE after the failed tests came to light. If they had checked the substances ASAP after treatment and then applied for a TUE, then this probably wouldn't have been an issue. Only Lance is allowed to apply for a TUE after the tests... damn naive Enduro riders. Also, any roadie worth his salt would of pulled the Impey defence for Probenicide.DIY Bi-carb capsules... take you from mellow to Yellow baby
anybody seen george? Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Bikehub FL stadings after round 4. So how did you FL go? Last time I ignore my gut telling me not to pick Melamed. Guess I will have to save for a Pivot now . Sigh feel for the guy, but consistancy is the key word in Enduro FL... Big return for the RR after the forced lay off due to the "Big D"!Sam Hill clearly finding his speed as the series continues. Definitly going to be a battle between him and Flo (mr consistancy) for the overall. And lets talk abou the track. O MY WORD! I am in love Want to hit that so bad.
thebob Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Awesome round for me. Made a big jump in the standings
Odinson Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 With Maes being stripped of his wins, were the fantasy points for those rounds adjusted?

I am in love Want to hit that so bad.I watched Melamed's lovely POV runs and picked him up. What a dumb move. I had picked Rude but thought he might have slacked off being on holiday and all. Even dumber. I think Hill will take the series again thanks to Maes' fook up.

Capricorn Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 i think Eddie Masters has finally done it at EWS Les Orres!
anybody seen george? Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Anybody else notice that with all the fancy pedals the enduro pro's use our man of the hour Eddie was running some Shimano DX's. Well I am now more certain than ever that the DX is probably the best ever produced by shimano.
thebob Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Glad Eddie took the win! Pity Ella wrecked on the practise day
