He was 43rd. Without this positive test no-one would have heard of him!

You're saying it was a good career move?

Part of me thinks:
Why on earth did he bother??
The other part thinks:
Yes, Ian, you may well be right!

The world's gawn maaaaaad ...

If he was a domestique he'd have had a lot of hard work to do out of the limelight. Perhaps a little 'pick-me-up' helped him along - made the day-job a little easier.

Using google translate, this seems to implicate Astana and Miguel Angl]el Lopez

Not the team certified doctor then 🤔

 

[Adam4868]

The Lopez defence line of claiming "never tested positive for any drugs or doping" should be enough for a guilty verdict alone

Let's be honest....there hardly flooded with talent.

Personally my view is Mark Cavendish will hold out until the wildcard teams are announced, then sign a short-term contract with one of them. It'll get him access to the Tour and the team more exposure than they would usually get. Given Israel P-T has 28, not 30, riders that actually may end up being it.
