Doping git thread

Freeman's QC says her summing up will have to begin on Tues - as she must speak to Freeman first & he's been "flat out" giving Covid-19 jabs all weekend.
To be fair he must be a dab hand with a needle by now....

Stop it you two - this is a serious topic!

I wouldn't put it past him to whip it out, plonk it on the table in front of him, and shout "See - what bloody erectile dysfunction!"

Carry on in a Jiffy, starring Kenneth Williams as Dr Richard Freeman, and Sid James as Shane Sutton.

I think Sid was ever so slightly more affable than Shane!

Interesting words here from Roan. He worked with Bolton for 8 years including during Big Sam‘s time there

Freeman tribunal rules that he "has been dishonest" and the Testogel "was to be administered to an athlete to improve their athletic performance". Hearing to resume 17th March to consider his fitness to practise.

Phew, I thought it may have finished. I couldn't face that.

I know, right? It's going to be like Emmerdale going off-air!

So, obvious question: which athlete and did he actually ever administer it? This must cast some shadow of suspicion over all BC and Sky riders during his practice and, as he was their top doctor, probably more over the top riders than the rest.

I see in YouTube comments people post ‘you can’t win a Grand Tour without doping.’
Please,without shooting each other down, do people think that that is true?

A hopefully factual question:
Is this basically the worst crime that they've been able to nail on him (or any staff/rider)?

(I know, we can pontificate about smoke and fires etc etc ... I'm just looking at what they'll actually be pinged for.)
