I can't blame you for underrating Al. If you hear the Belgian commentators talking about him you get the idea he can do nothing at all |

Page notified of missed test
By VeloNews.com
Posted Dec. 27, 2008
Former U.S. cyclocross champion Jonathan Page has been notified that he missed an anti-doping test at the World Cup at Koksijde, Belgium, on November 29.
UCI anti-doping officials have forwarded a report of the missed test to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for review. UCI anti-doping coordinator Peter Van den Abeele told the Belgian website Sport.be that Page failed to appear for a drug test despite being notified that he had been randomly selected.
Page, however, said that he had not heard anything about the test until he was informed that he had missed it three weeks later.
Page’s wife Cori said that she and her husband stayed around the finish at Koksijde and would have easily been found had UCI testers simply asked.
“We were still in the parking lot when the race finished and the racers were heading back to their vehicles,” Cori Page wrote on the couple’s website. “We stopped at the race headquarters where Jonathan had to pick up his travel money. No one said anything and when we asked them on the phone over the last few days, they said they didn’t say anything because they didn’t know! We believe them. It’s strange though because the only other time I’ve been present when a rider didn’t show up for doping control, the organizers, officials, racers, soigneurs, everyone, was trying to get that guy to report. His name was repeatedly announced. They sent people to find him and many people, including a friend of ours, called his phone. That guy missed it on purpose. Fresh off a two-year suspension for doping, he was at it again. He got the luxury of every opportunity to show up. Jonathan got none.”
The case is slated for review by USADA, which could issue a warning or impose a suspension following a review of statements from UCI testers and Page.

Page was expected to be named to the U.S. team to the world championships, slated for February 1 in Hoogerheide, in the Netherlands. Page finished second at the world championships in 2007.
USA Cycling is expected to name its elite men’s squad next month. Governing body officials could not be reached for comment on Saturday.
blah blah blah, but who were they talking about missing the test?

some frenchie, but i cant remember his name, maxime lefebvre? hmm, it was something like that
all i know about him is that he already previously got suspended for doping, and when he came back from his one year suspension he did top 10 on a regular base and then missed a doping controle after a cyclocross race in Middelkerke, even tho his name was published on a list, ppl tried to find him, speakers called for him etc
i cant remember if he got suspended for that or if he just retired like vino did
ah and he was easy to recognize cause he would always wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts while racing, cause he got burnt badly when he was younger and was ashamed of the scars
