Vania Rossi case

moray_gub

Seems she has been cleared by Coni and to think she was subjected to disgraceful accusations of child abuse over this. A sad case that brought out the worst in certain pro race posters.

She tested positive but got off cos the b sample showed negative.
Drat that micro dosing

She was cleared of any wrong doing which ever way you wanna dress it up.

EPO was found in her system - but below the levels necessary to convict her. So, any way you dress it up, she still doped. :roll:

Oh FFS. By the rules she agreed to she's innocent and CONI have, rightly, recognised this.

MG is right, she was subjected to some terrible comments on here.

EPO was found in her 1st sample but not in her 2nd so basically that means she didnt dope..............dress it up any way you want but thats the facts.

Those posters should hang there heads in shame over the comments.

Maybe so, although it's fairly obvious that MG started this thread in order to lord his moral superiority over other forum users instead of it actually being about the Vania Rossi case.

Not so if you will recall i had issues with those comments months ago ,its just not on to come onto a forum and accuse someone of child abuse in fact the mods should have acted upon it.

"Months ago" being the key words. If you had that much of an issue with it, you should have reported it to the mods back then. Dragging it up now seems rather pointless.

Erm - no. The facts are that there was EPO in both samples. But below the threshold to BUST her for it.


Innocent by the laws of cycling. But everyone still knows she was guilty and lucky to get off.

I'm not interested in the whole 'child abuse' side of it.


Besides - this isn't news. This was reported several months ago?

Perhaps you're right MG but I'll take their accusations over your sanctimony any day of the week thanks.

Are you sure? I thought they couldn't actually test for EPO. Rather, they look for specific levels and markers of cells in the body that are in specific states/levels that would not occur naturally, but those cells are in fact all present in natural athletes as well (just not in those states or at those levels)? Isn't that correct?

It was officially shelved today so I think MG is right mentioning it.

Kind of like how we all made hay with MG when Di Luca was bust

Pokerface

The test was actually for CERA.

"But the second test did not show up "the minimum levels of Cera required to satisfy the criteria of the World Anti-Doping Agency," CONI said."


They didn't say there was NONE - just 'not enough'. There's a big difference. That was back in April.

OK, fair point. It's 1-1.

on that basis we should prosecute anyone with alcohol in their system because they attempted to get drunk, even if they are below the legal limit...... because they were lucky to get away with it.

Pokerface

It's not illegal to get drunk

I believe it's illegal to be drunk in public, but seldom enforced, a bit like cars in the ASL

What is the limit of epo I can give my child then ? Just curious. And I thought ricco believed it too ?

There is nothing sanctimonious about questioning false accusations of child abuse again.

When did she give her child EPO ?

So what you are saying is things over a few months old should not be be discussed ?

But she DID take EPO (Cera). You are wrong. End of story. No matter how many times you say it isn't so, it won't change THE FACTS.

The facts are she had one positive and one negative that doesnt prove she had taken EPO , if you are prepared to discount the negative then you have to be prepared to discount the positive. But you wont do that because it doesnt fit in with your viewpoint.

Pokerface

Have you even read the facts of the case?

I'll say it again, and slowly so you can understand all the big words:

She had Cera in BOTH samples. Just because it wasn't enough under WADA and UCI rules in the second sample, doesn't mean it wasn't there.

If the second sample had come back 100% clean then I would 'change my viewpoint'. But it didn't.


My 'viewpoint' is based on the FACTS. Which you are clearly ignoring.

"CONI released the news on its website on Friday with the statement, "In the B sample analysis for Vania Rossi, conducted in the period from March 29 to April 2, 2010, the minimum levels of CERA required to meet the World Anti-doping Agency's (WADA) criteria have not been found."

So - that's one positive (A sample) and one 'not enough to meet minimum WADA requirements' (B sample). That's not 2 clean samples is it?

Are you always this intransigent ?

Ok lets take this slowly its one positive and one negative end of story, you can dance around the houses all you want but her 2nd sample did not contain the required amount in fact for all we know it could have contained nothing they would have still issued the same words if that had been the case.
