In his book Tyler Hamilton mentioned the use of testosterone patches as part of his doping program.

I once tried nicotine patches and had some weird nightmares.
Just saying.

Did you dream that you had an imaginary twin brother?

The Cycling Podcast discusses the UCI opening discussions with IOC pet the International Testing Agency (not allowed to be called the Independent Testing Authority) and drawing concern from the Cycling Anti Doping Foundation https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cadf-objects-to-uci-discussions-with-international-testing-agency/

This could go south very quickly now.

Cyclingnews are publishing minutely detailed analyses of this. I think they have hired a legal correspondent or something. There was an entire article about the GMC changing the wording of one of the charges "to remove the notion of motive".

This is equally dense:

Shane Sutton is the scapegoat.
Apparently he demanded testosterone for his erectile disfunction.

Gives a new meaning to the phrase, Arise Sir Bradley.

The thing is that he ordered it for Shane Sutton and his limpness or he ordered it for administering to an athlete.
Either Sutton is lying in denying it was for him (quite possible as I suspect he's a bit easy to dislike)...
...or it was for a rider or riders.
Given that Freeman has admitted most of the charges and is likely to be struck off either way, I'm not sure why he'd lie about it...

Unless big bad Shane really did bully him.Looks like he's trying to shift a bit of blame ?

This makes me either think it's so bizzare it's true or I need to try some ?

This is the real deal Dave not your average over the counter wham bam...saying that I wouldn't like to hop on a bike after one of them patches 😁

Shane needed some testosterone to give to an unnamed rider as a PED, (hoping that the side effect of raggedy sideburns would not give the game away). The other sky doctors like Geert Lienders were all too pure and high minded, so Shane picked on weedy Freeman.

Shane knew what he was doing because if Freeman ever spilled the beans he, Shane, would just exhibit his basketball sized plums in open court and Freeman would be instantly discredited.

That's my interpretation anyway.

Your round or mine 😂
