Meanwhile, in Colombia we are having a race with 2 continental teams and a lot of amateurs, and today this happened:
It's something like this: "Doping test, there isn't, doctors did not attend"
So, this isn't serious... in the highest level or the lower ones... our sport is doomed, nobody cares...
I'm pretty sure the same thing happened in China in their small races (or possibly another eastern/central European race.... I can't remember which one). The Pro Continental teams kicked up a huge fuss about it.
Happens on the Asian curcuit all the time which leads to wonderful teams like Tabriz
Hells 500 Crew and 6 x Everester
Don Rd Launching Place
Melbourne Hill Rd Warrandyte
Colby Drive Belgrave South
William Rd The Patch
David Hill Rd Monbulk

Here is a basic explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_th...ne_therapy
Its meant to increase oxygen to the blood

Not feeling like doing any research now, so I assume this is as illegal as Kittel's UV treatment would have been nowadays?

While I agree doping should be investigated, I'm really becoming annoyed with the timing. Meeusen twice just before a world championship, Van Averwaet the day of Omloop. I'm finding it hard to believe this is still a coincidence.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

We can take this to PM if you like, but I'd just geniunely like to know why you don't find it hypocritical. I mean, on the one hand, you're bitching about the objectification of women, on the other hand, look at your sig.
I won't answer to hypocracy of the objectification of women because no argument i made was about the objectification of women. In fact i distinctly recall saying i kind of liked the ad's of the last couple of years that included women on them. I have no shame in saying that.
My arguments, on the feminist side, were based around straight up harrassment or implied harassment. The arguments of not using a woman full stop were because i feel there are better ways to advertise a cycling race, followed by examples.
If i was to bash the advert for focusing purely on the female form to drive impressions then yes that would make me hypocritical, because i choose my adverts because they look nice (although tbf that's how i choose all my avatars, like the one that depicted Charly Gaul for example).
But to clarrify, that was not the argument i made nor the one i'm making now.
Well, maybe I worded it poorly, but you complained quite heavily about the usage of the "Sex Sells" system. That is what I meant with objectification. But yes, I can follow your train of thoughts better now, thanks for clarifying. 
On the GvA thing, does anyone have an English source? And I presume he's still riding Omloop?

Ozone therapy is indeed illegal, here's an old UCI Anti-doping document that shows Pieter Van Herck and Stefan Van Dijk with lengthy bans for doing it.

Hour Record News:
Sarah Storey does 45.502 kilometres in her attempt for the Women's Hour Record. Falls short by 568m, but sets a new British Record, as well as breaking many Para-Cycling records in the process! Great effort
