Federer91 2,134 Posted December 13, 2017 #1421 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Well, well, things are beginning to come out of the shadow. I don't know why they had to wait for both A and B samples to announce it. I guess with the special treatment for Mr. Froome, we should be happy that it was announced at all.

He'll probably get away with "administrative sanction", or however you call those "sanctions" without suspension. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than that, if I remember correctly they started to investigate Šmigun-Vähi way back in late 2013/early 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to CAS in October 2016. Ended in December 2017. I would love to be Smigun's lawyer. Probably got a big house in Barbados out of this hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon 1,697 Posted December 13, 2017 #1426 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) One thing not many people know about Froome. The management of Team Sky absolutely hate him and would like to get rid of him But Sky TV who sponsor the team love the publicity he gives them...

I think it's a national winter sport criteria back in Norway (for cc-skiing and biathlon), or so I've heard rumours By that I mean that nearly all of them claim they suffer from it.
