I don't know who is the bigger nobber - the 93-year-old nobber the piece is about or the 12-year-old nobber who wrote it:

Editorial Intern Michael Better fell in love with cycling during the Armstrong era. He is always happiest on his bike. Michael can usually be found chasing his Strava PR on any of the local climbs or sipping a cappuccino at the local cafe.

"I am a grand tour winner"

For the moment.

It is fairly hard to come across synthetic testosterone. Supplement contamination seems unlikely.

Do you want some?

I have a box of gel and an ampule of injectable stuff.

PS you can't it's mine all mine. I have injections every three weeks but I am on my knees sweating like a lady on menopause. Just had a gel top up as injection not due till next week.

The UCI want us to speak out and report doping:

I wonder if I was to drop them an email saying "Astana, FFS" if they'd do anything about it?

He's having a rant again:
“The UCI has taken it from one extreme, where they used to just allow whatever you needed..."
How's he supposed to win?

Giampaolo Caruso has tested positive for EPO on a retro-test of a sample from 2012. Second positive for Katusha this year (if it indeed counts as "this year").

Nothing on there website,,funny that.
If the evidence from the IAAF ever comes out it would be interesting to see how many former Soviet block countries have dirty doppers.

The question is, if this counts as a 2015 test then should the team be suspended from competition? Will J-Rod be prevented from riding the Vuelta...?

EDIT: So according to the UCI, the "two strikes and the team is suspended" rule doesn't apply here because of the date of the original sample.
