Meanwhile Tom Dumoulin is being an ass and throwing Georg Preidler under the bus, now that it looks more and more like Preidler was not only doped in 2018, but also during his Sunweb time in 2017, including in the Giro in which he helped Dumoulin to victory.

At least take the time to bring out a statement that at the very least looks like it's finished, instead of having a photo (not even a screenshot) of your Word document with the spelling check still on

Rafaela Silva of Brazil, reigning Olympic judo champion (and hero of the 'from favela to Olympic gold' stories around her gold medal) has tested positive.

Rafaela Silva blames a 7-month old baby who she let 'suck' her nose as some form of playing. Baby uses asthma medication and this way Silva apparently (thinks she) inhaled it.

 

French cyclist Marion Sicot meanwhile tested positive for EPO and blames her period for the EPO levels in her blood (without really pointing to any study or something).

This damned mass spectrometry...

[heywoodu 15,135]

I am genuinely curious whether or not there are studies on the EPO levels in women during their menstrual cycle, because if that would indeed turn out to be Sicot's cause for the positive test, that would be absolutely huge.

Presumably the baby can not defend his/herself from these wild allegations. How very convenient.
