It's not complete enough anyway. Is it just an UCI race ? What about ASO and other sponsors ? We agree it's a men's race, fine. But are they binary ? Cisgender ? And the date ? 2018 , ok . But is it BC or AD ? Very confusing.

Fuck ! Fuck.

Froome cleared.

 

Edit UCI's statement:

And now, I tend to beleive that ASO move was only PR knowing perfectly well he was going to be cleared.

 

Fuck that sport, really.

Let's see when the case of Petacchi and Ulissi vs the UCI starts.

As I just read somewhere else, this opens up the way nicely for something like Formula E's 'Fan Boost', where fans vote on social media and the three most voted drivers get a one-time extra power boost during the race (awfully annoying because it's almost always the same, most popular drivers from big countries who get it, but alright). In the Tour de France this could be done by letting fans vote, and the most voted riders can go nuts and inject everything they want for the next stage

That statement... ffs... there is nothing in it. He's cleared... because... well, he's cleared. So now please fuck off and enjoy our races.

 

It's about cycling, it's about UCI, it's about a freakin kenyan boy that used to be tracted by car just to make the finish line who has became one of the greatest GT riders of all time. You need to make it crystal clear why he's cleaned. Do they think, this statement is even remotly enough ? Really ?

So, just after Froome was banned from the Tour, UCI has a miraculous decision the next day, after not being able to say anything for months and months...

 

Pettachi: 1352 ng/p/ml, 1 year suspension 
Ulissi: 1900 ng/p/ml, 9 months suspension 
Froome: 2000 ng/p/ml - gets cleared by UCI
