Ross Tucker should do a column on the science of moving goalposts.

If I were GSK, I'd be thinking about suing Vayer for his slanderous questioning of my credibilty.

It does however highlight how difficult it is to actually establish where to put the goalposts - elite athletes are almost by definition freaks of nature

Where does a junior rider get EPO from though?

Also, check out Hasting's defense - a shared needle??!! WTF??!

Certainly one of the more unusual ones.

“On 3 August 2015 I bought EPO for the first time,” Evans wrote in his message.

“On 11 August 2015 I travelled to France for a weeks training camp with the family of a then-teammate. With me I brought one vial of EPO. This was found by the teammate's father who presented evidence to UK Anti-Doping. UKAD contacted me shortly after to arrange a deposition, in which I promptly admitted to all wrongdoing. I withdrew from the upcoming Junior Tour of Wales, the premier event on the junior calendar

He admitted his purchase on TT forum, all a bit naive

Same place as a senior rider. Black market suppliers are not going to be asking him for ID....

Well self-evidently, but looking back to the Genevieve Jeanson link I posted today, there was a back drop of a dodgy coach and credulous parents. Here we seem to be asked to believe a similarly-aged junior managed this on his tod (unless there's more than's being reported).

The other odd thing is that his chum's father found the vial of EPO. My kids occasionally have friends to stay, but it had never occurred to me to rifle through their effects.

Probably found it in the fridge.

I don't know enough (ie anything) about Evans' personal circumstances to comment on whether anyone else might have been involved.

The number of World Tour and Pro Conti teams that welcome back unrepentant dopers must be diminishing by now surely?

Maybe Bardiani, Androni, and CCC, and possibly Nippo Vini Fantini? Otherwise I get a feeling he'll join the growing list of dopers who end up riding Gran Fondos and carry on their evil ways.
