At least that nasty little gobshite, Landis, doesn't get to be a multi-millionaire off the back of it.

More in the Dutch press today, saying that the Vacansoleil systematically used TUEs to give its riders cortisone...
https://www.ad.nl/giro/een-uitslag-rijden-zonder-cortisonen-dat-bestond-niet~a49b154b/
The headline quote 'Een uitslag rijden zonder cortisonen, dat bestond niet' roughly translates as "A result without cortisone doesn't exist".
One of the authors of the piece, Thijs Zonneveld, is a pretty well known bike journalist (he ghosted Thomas Dekker's biog), so I don't expect that it's complete bollocks.

I may be wrong (my Dutch is weak so it's not an easy read and AD's website is pretty nasty) but the closest quote in the article body seems to be "Je was een hele knaap als je een uitslag zonder cortison kon rijden. Naar mijn idee bestond dat niet." = "You were a great guy if you could produce a result without cortisone. To my mind, that doesn't happen." Is that as ambiguous about whether it applies to only him or everyone as I think it is?

I may have put this in the wrong section....
but the evergreen Chris Horner is making a comeback in the US Nationals at the ripe old age of 46.
He is able to do it because the USA has no decent riders below that age ...
Looks like the UCI have read the last couple of posts.

Movistar's Jaime Roson has been flagged for a slight cock-up on the biological passport front.
Apparently this dates back to Jan 2017 when he was at Caja Rural. They've not yet announced the details of the AAF but he is provisionally suspended with immediate effect.
No idea if he was due to ride the Tour anyway.

I'm gonna guess that a lot of other riders, not as high profile possibly, still just get a wee "heads up" letter...
