Vetplant Posted July 16, 2021 Share And just as I post that, a massive group goes up the road to join the 6 leaders. Today might not be the day for CAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But last year there was the same kind of witch hunt after Nairoman, and they found nothing, and it all just fizzled away. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched some netflix series the other day and it featured that restaurant. What a stunning looking place. J Wakefield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there are still plenty of cyclists being caught doping. Every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted July 16, 2021 Share https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/cycling-moves-down-sports-doping-list-three-places-to-8th-with-18-recorded-cases-in-2020-489189 So 3 world tour cyclists bust in 2020, the lowest in 15 years, 8 World Tour riders in 2019..... There were also WAY less tests conducted. Then there's this https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/12/sports/cycling/cycling-freeman-team-sky-doping.html So no, things are very much still happening and the 'change in attitude' won't happen unless there are a number of years between guilty parties and adverse findings. If there are multiple naughty people caught every single year, there can be no shift away from the perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
