Yates.
Same surname as Sean Yates.
Sean Yates rode with Armstrong.
That's all I need to know.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -
Jesus what a week for British cycling, and also not good for OGE after all the accusations fired their way post Hayman's win at Roubaix.
It's a shame he was one of my favorites, we'll need to see what comes of this.
It won't spin well for Sky and British cycling with Heano, JTL and now Yates being a BC podium athlete. There will be certain area's of the media (I use the term lightly) who will use this as further ammo.0 -
Shame they deleted this tweet!

Another, lazy option would be to re-use some of the .gifs going around suggesting what life is like in the Labour press office right now.0

Orica will get away with very very little bad press about this, BC will take 99% of the heat here.
What an idiot.0 -
When was the last time Yates had contact with the BC program, other than riding WC? Surely all training and coaching is through Orica?0

On April 22, the team was notified that Simon Yates has an adverse analytical finding from a test conducted at Paris-Nice, stage 6 on March 12, 2016.
The positive result is for the substance Terbutaline.
The substance was given to Simon Yates in the form an asthma inhaler and accordingly, this was noted by the team doctor on the Doping Control Form, signed at the time of the test.
The substance was given in an ongoing treatment of Simon Yates’ documented asthma problems. However, in this case the team doctor made an administrative error by failing to apply for the TUE required for the use of this treatment.
The use of Terbutaline without a current TUE is the reason it has been flagged as an adverse analytical finding. This is solely based on a human error that the doctor in question has taken full responsibility for.
There has been no wrong-doing on Simon Yates’ part. The team takes full responsibility for this mistake and wishes to underline their support for Simon during this process.
The team is concerned by the leak of this information and has no further comments until there has been a full evaluation made of the documentation, statements and evidence that the team and Simon Yates are now submitting to the UCI in order to clarify everything.
This is gonna be....yupWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Can't help thinking that all this attention will lead Sky to pull the plug on their sponsorship. Even though Yates has never ridden for them the Mail quickly mentions JTL with a nice picture of him in Sky kit and many of the photos in Varnishgate probably have Sky sponsored GB kit prominent!0

Should be easy to check!0 -
Inhaler. There is your tie to Froome.0

Depends on the inhaler. Froome doesn't need a TUE for his, so probably just Sambutathingy.Shadowrider wrote:Inhaler. There is your tie to Froome.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Between this human error and the doctor giving Impy contaminated capsules it would seem Orica have no luck.0

Has Simon Yates had a TUE for this before?
Yes - six month ban for team stupidity
No - two years (it's not a four year drug)
I thought all first time bans were 4 years now?0 -
Maximum of four years. It's not a fixed sentence. Never has been.Shadowrider wrote:RichN95 wrote:This is an easy case.

Had a look on the clinc, it played out like this ALL BRITS CHEAT, FROOME IS NEXT, SKY SKY HEANO SKY, ADAM YATES, TYLER HAMILTON, (then statement released), oh you can't trust the daily mail blowing this out of context.0

Do you get TUEs on a use by use basis or can you get a more permanent one if a rider is using a particular substance routinely...as I might assume an asthma sufferer might? (I ask this with no experience of asthma personally!)0 -

"Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It works by dilating (opening) the bronchioles of the lungs by relaxing the muscles around them. This allows for easier airflow into and out of the lungs."
Does sound like something that could be abused if it was massively effective.0 -

Sambuccamol?
Is that what you inhale when you light the shot and drink it??We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

If true...... Thanks for hanging the doubt on everyone, Simon. As an athlete, you don't just represent yourself, but your team, your sport and your country. Your fans too.0
