    Twitter saying Mystery Russian is - Alexander Serebryakov

    Already suspended from a positive in April, now has another in febuary!


    I thought Mystery Russian was supposed to have ridden the Giro?

    Are you suggesting that a rumour on twitter may have been wrong? Suggest you think carefully before you make allegations like that.


    You're right, of course. Duly chastised.

    Nice one, how about Andrei Mizourov from 2009?

    I see an opportunity for a thread on who we'd most like to see retro-tested

    Aye, would be interesting.

    Baliani and Tabriz for me. Go from batshit to plain shit in a couple of weeks, or a day or two in Tabriz's case.

    And many races can't afford the tests so all the merrier for them.

    Go back a few years and I reckon we'd see 75% of races with new winners.

    More interesting is that there was a Russian riding for Euskaltel.

    Cobo, Valverde, Contador would be a good start.

    Wiggins, Cav, Cancellara, Gilbert, Boonen - just to check out some of the more recent big winners.

    Whispers.............What did Mizourov do in 2009?

    Ha. He's from one of the teams that people (not the baseless twatter groups but a couple of professionals) allege have a team programme. 2009 and 2010, he was ridiculously strong. Bee in bonnet stuff.
  • Tell me it ain't so:
    @inrng La Gazzetta reports Giro stage winner's Mauro Santambrogio's case. Alleged EPO in A-sample... but not B-sample meaning he could be cleared

    yeah just seeen this on velonation, it said the amount detected in the b sample wasnt enough to call it a positive b-sample. Could be micro dosing/degradation of sample. The latter would be a bit rubbish for the protocol.

    A - sample.
    B - sample.
    P - sample. :roll:

    The protocol is there for a reason. Like him or loathe him, if his B sample doesn't tick the boxes for a positive, he should be free to race.

    I'd imagine he won't get much favours from the peleton though.

    He's got to persuade someone to employ him first.

    Gawd, I can just see Savio doing that

    Alternatively, Torku Şeker Spor will need a new farcical winner for the Tour of Turkey next year

    Is his contract termination still valid now that he doesn't have a true analytical positive? Does his old boss have to take him back?

  • *new* team though, so if existing team folds new team wouldnt have to fulfil existing contracts, surely?

    You'd think he'd have a good legal claim if they don't.
  • Good to hear he was clean; cycling gets such a bad rap and it just isn't fair.

  • I just came across this tweet from Anthony Roux and as far as I can tell it was posted a week or two before news came out about about them. Telling.

    As far as I can make out from the google translate, it looks like he was contemplating suicide.

    Terpstra deleted his tweet, but it was along the lines that Santambrogio was doing it to get more followers.
