Cycling drug bombshell: Banned patches were ordered at Team Sky

 

 

Testosterone patches were delivered seven years ago to National Cycling Centre

The order was found during a probe into ex-Team Sky and British Cycling doctor

Sensational allegation made during GMC investigation into Dr Richard Freeman

 

Nooo, Team Sky or the surroundings of British Cycling breaking rules, nobody would expect that! :yikes:

Spoiler

:lol:

 

I wonder when the British cyclists will have to compete under neutral flag, like the Russians in athletics :evil:

I especially love this part :rofl:

A further request was then made to the medical supplier in Oldham asking them to send an email saying the package had been sent in error.

 

"Dude, they can't know we actually ordered this stuff, so please send us an email saying you sent it to us wrongly, but we know better hehe, suckers.

The net around Team Sky, Wiggins, Froome and all that stuff seems to be closing more and more.

So, Vincenzo Nibali (of Astana :lol:) as the last Tour de France winner if this keeps going the US Postal/Armstrong-road? :d 

 

I sometimes wonder why I still keep following this sport, but alright.

Then you also should ask yourself, why you follow weightlifting or athletics ... :p

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I think we should ask ourselves why we're still here, following all sort of sports? :p:facepalm:

 

I can only speak for myself...and, as I already wrote in the past, I still like the show, the competition, the action I can find when I watch sport events...just like going to the cinema...nothing more, nothing less...

 

and yes, I can also feel pleasure and get emotional behind some athletes and/or teams winning and/or losing...

 

it's just something "inside me", that I can't even imagine to control and/or stop...I can easily say that I'm addicted to the emotions and the adrenaline that sport gives me most of the times...

Oh I absolutely do. But always when I thinj about it, basically what @phelps said is what comes to mind. Why would I care about a random German person skiing 0,10 seconds faster than a random French person, or a random Australian person swimming 0,02 seconds faster than a random Canadian person? But always phelps' answer is what comes to mind :d 

 

Just in this case it's so cringeworthy that Sky has always been putting themselves on the front as the clean team, hiding behind their marginal gains (fluffier hotel pillows, wetter water in the showers, that kind of stuff), yet it has been stinking like holy hell for years and now all this comes along. I truly hope that farce of a team is gone by 2019.

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
