Evan Andreou Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Did Andy Schleck not come second at Fleche?Would this give him a classics double?
Tumbleweed Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Did Andy Schleck not come second at Fleche? Would this give him a classics double? can they take away rebellin's result if it's got nothing to do with the arrow?
GFishy Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Alot of ifs and maybes to me. Name them if they have the positives? ? agreed' date=' the uncertainty isn't good for any sport. now, everyone's asking who the other cyclist is.[/quote'] It was Silver...(in cycling) Gold at the track and field... (Not Bolt - he won more than 1 gold) ? from AP: The committee didn't identify the athletes or their sports, citing confidentiality rules as it notifies those involved in the retests and their national Olympic committees. Got my info from Bloomberg if I can remember correct

Got my info from Bloomberg if I can remember correct sorry, mate, not disputed it. just kinda answering my own point. ap's got the same detail:Two of the athletes were medalists, the Associated Press said, citing an unidentified person familiar with the test results. While AP didn't identify the two, it said one was a male gold medalist in track and field and the other a cyclist.
colinw Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I was amazed at how powerful tintin was at FL, especially considering he is no youngster, now its possible to understand how. He is part of the old school and I now have no doubt that 99.9% of cyclists in both the pro and semi pro or even amatuer ranks DOPE. There is a new bread of up and coming younger riders who just may be clean but who actually knows. Guilty until proven inncent I say !!!! colinw2009-04-29 01:01:06
Nialls101 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 No wonder cyclists wear helmets, they seem to keep riding into the same wall making the noise "WADA". I'm getting so tired of hearing about doping cases, ban them for 10 years minimum and life if they get caught twice. WTF is wrong with these people!

[/quote'] There's nothing wrong with them, imo it's a case of survival. As soon as 1 tjop top athlete dopes the rest have to follow to keep the playing field level.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> A max 2 year ban is "commercialy inspired" compromise, kind of like saying naughty naughty now just dont do it get caught again. Life time ban or legalize the lot are the only options, anything else is just a feeble compromise.
Eldron Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Easy up on old Rebellin people - only a newspaper has named him...If he is named by CONI by all means crucify the lad but right now he is only guilty by media persecution....It seems likely it's him - given his association with Shumie AND that CONI has announced it is an Italian athlete BUT it's unfair to flame Rebellin right now...

Can you tell I'm a big fan??
BMCfan Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 hot of the twitterfeed CONI opens Rebellin investigation!
ASTANA Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Would be crap if it was him! Well consider yourself lucky if you get tested a lot that means that your up there with the Winners. Not many other randoms in die bunch get caught - they either don't dope or don't get caught. Like I heard a guy say a while back - If all of them doped the same riders would come out on top, and if no one doped the same guys would still finish on top - if your good and work hard you'll make it to the top.

Eldron Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Right - IOC have named Rebellin....fire at will! That said - I have some random quaestions.... How is it that this is common knowledge before the "B" sample was tested or Rebellin was informed? I thought confidnetiallity was allowed until the results of "B" sample were known? How come Gazetta knew and published before Rebellin was informed? How come only the cyclist has been named? What about the other 5 (one of which is apparently also a cyclist. This kind of shyte will only ever hamper the doper removal system...
javadude Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Apparently the "B" sample gets tested only at the request of the guilty party. These are IOC rules and not UCI i think.
