How surprising.

I like the new novel excuse!

Kessler, who has denied doping, also gave an explanation for the positive tests. He told his attorney, Michael Lehner, that shortly before the Fleche Wallone, when he was tested positive, he swallowed the contents of four packages "with Chinese writing on them." He had received the packages from his alternative health practitioner, and assumed they were food supplements.

    What an utterly sh!te excuse! They really do take us for mugs sometimes don't they?

    Someone ought to remind him that the responsibility of what goes into an athlete's body is the athlete's alone. Twat.

    Nearly as good as Simoni's "Colombian cough drop" explanation.

    We should start a Pro Tour Pundit for the most inventive excuse for a failed dope test. VDB's dog medicine is still my favourite.

    Wasn't Ferreti's excuse that he was bringing a carload of anabolic steroids and EPO to treat sick children? Still got to continue managing though.
