Doping git thread

[rich p]

It's been a while since the UCI list has been mentioned, however they have recently updated the provisional suspension list, and there's two Continental riders listed - Adria Mobil's Kristjan Fayt for EPO and Mattia Gavazzi for cocaine (again), having previously been suspended in 2010 - he made his comeback in the Tour de San Luis in 2013

Gavazzi must really love coke! That's the third time including a bust as an amateur.

Hadn't realised he'd been done as a amateur as well. Some people'll never learn.

I'm led to believe that it is very moreish.

Which kind of begs some questions about the use of thermal imaging cameras by the UCI. Or simply one question: why not?

The TV programme referred to in that report will be broadcast next week on Italian TV. They claim to have identiified 8 different riders using motors in these races, and some of them using newer, more advanced motors in wheels... expect the shoot to hit the fan.

I guess some of these images could be dodgy DI2 batteries but I'll wait for the program / proof before pushing that any further.

Here's a screenshot (taken from INRNG twitter) of Istvan Varjas, the Hungarian inventor, showing how small the motor can be

Let's see what the program reveals but I'm thinking bullshit so far.

Why? We know these systems exist. They've already been discovered in one case on the fringes. If the UCI are not yet testing bikes in ways that would discover them, then there will undoubtedly be people who are using them. Otherwise, what are saying is that you don't believe that anyone cheats. All the evidence points in the other direction.

This is a different program though - an earlier, French investigation, prior to these new allegations.

Ah right, didn't realise that, cheers
