    He should just confess to wide scale doping for several years and blame it all on Armstrong. Then his ban will be reduced to six months and he'll get a job at Garmin.

    From the Metalek team website:

    An announcement has been released that Marcel Six has been banned by UK Anti Doping for eighteen months for failing to provide a urine sample after Canary Wharf, Tour Series.


    We understand the decision of UKAD and that rules are rules and Marcel made a massive error of judgment in refusing a test on the night of Canary Wharf. When you are aware of the circumstances surrounding the matter, an urgent private family situation, coupled with the fact he was tested 12 hours later at home (by UKAD) which of course proved negative, along with other negative tests at Lincoln and Stockton GP’s plus 2 further ‘out of competition’ tests, the headlines are somewhat harsh and mislead the reader to more serious wrong doing. In UKAD’s statement they quote Marcel was able to ‘demonstrate he was at no particular fault or negligent’.


    We have found Marcel to be nothing but professional this year and he would not wish to tarnish his name, cherished family and our Team. He of course accepts the outcome of UKAD and the consequences of his actions that evening.


    As a Team we welcome everything UKAD is doing for the good of the sport and will continue to support them.

    Once you've been notified you have to provide a sample at a location close to the finish, there isn't a specified time to provide it as such. They provide drinks to help you make a sample if you're dehydrated.

    By the sounds of it they have been after him for a while.
