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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
