I'm not saying that Sky are definitaly doped, but their defenders usually just tell these Brailsford's excuses and do not react to the arguments like dodgy doctors working for Sky etc. at all.

It may be possible that he tests positive in the future and no one will know. According to this, from 2015 on the WADA grants positive top athletes complete amnesty and anonymity in exchange for information. They would even get to keep their price money.

That stinks as rotten meat. Frown

I mean, as said in the article, it can help maybe to catch the people behind the scenes, who are actual movers of the things around doping, but complete amnesty and non returning of prize money? I dont like it in criminal law and i dont like it in "sport law" too.
I'll be back

Agreed. And it's already well-known who's behind the scene. At least if the relevant authorities really wanted to know, they could just follow the money. I mean who can seriously believe a guy in a team with reputed technicians would pay a lot of money to a random foreign gynaecologist (who accidentally provided dope to sportsmen too) just for training advices ?
Or that a now DS would pay money to a haematologist busted several times for the same reason "just training advices" ?

Also, see Di Luca, he gave a couple of names, had his sentence divided by two, started racing again and eventually was busted a third (?) time for the same offence. What good did it do to cleaning the sport ?

But, do you really think that someone's going to read 130+ pages, Avin? Why not just linking him the lluuiiiggii's post, which sums up the Sky's situation perfectly, indstead of facepalming? I understand that all of us are bored of these guys and situations (with all respect to these guys), but it's just obvious that he's here for a short time and has no idea what he's talking about, but just fan-boying around.

That was my point, but Ewan (probably) read what lluuiiggii wrote there and he (hopefully) got an unbiased opinon about all of this, now. Smile


On which page can I find that post? Much appreciated!

There's more now. I haven't seen it surface here yet, so let's get going :

Original source.

Long story short : during last year Tour of Romandie, Chris Froome was authorized by UCI doctor Mario Zorzoli to use an oral corticoide after getting cold.

1) Corticoides can be used as a spray, but absolutely not orally.
2) An AUT is needed, but it can't be delivered by a single doctor, be it the UCI's. A board of expert is needed.
3) Sadly for grandmas there's no such thing as a cold, it's either germs, virus, etc.
4) Froome was so obviously ill that he won the race and the final ITT ahead of world champion Tony Martin

The paper questions the proximity between Sky and the UCI now that a former head of British cycling has become UCI's president.

Well, but this has happened last year, where Cookson wasn't UCI president yet. So not sure if the paper can really claim or question anything against Cookson at this point? Of course not sure about what the paper actually writes (ne parle pas francais -funny I actually remember that from class Wink
Looks to me like it's more down to Zorzoli doing what he does best, being corrupt.

No, it's happened this year (2014), not last year.

WADA is reported to be investigating the matter.

It is also mentioned that Cookson's son works for Sky... That proves that the change of leadership in the UCI changed nothing. The institutions of cycling should be destroyed and rebuilt.

Lol wtf, that seems weird as heck. A guy from UCI basically allowing Froome to dope?

And how about the spray he used the day he won the mountain stage to Beal? I havent followed the discussion at all, just got curious after that little incident in Romandie.

So in reality there is no need for 3 doctors to meet in this particular case and while that doesn't answer all of the other questions and issues with Cookson's conflict of interest that this raises, it does mean it isn't quite as bad as the headline made out.

That.
Rest to see if Zorzoli is a member of the board, but I guess the article sums the questions up quite well.

This is a really interesting little note. Taken from Inside Team Sky, Page 72.

So Leindeers was going to make Sky stay clean and they fired him to start doping? :lol:

I watched a tv-show today at Dutch television, called factcheckers. They proved that a higher level of cortisol causes a higher frequency of colds and illnesses. Guess what's going on with Sky this year (also with sports in general, higher frequency of colds, not relevant to this thread though).
