    Lettuce soup that he doesn't try a pea of innocence and just stands up and says "Yam guilty!". Otherwise this could ragout for months - and that has no place here. That's the only thing that would salsify the fans right now.

    He should neep it in the bud. He's already gone to seed, a lengthy apple could leaf him brassica

    Doubt he has the cour(a)gette to rat-a-rouille the rest. Somebody would send "Jimmy the Carrotte" after him no doubt.

    He's old school, he'll never spit in the soup.
  • We need a root and branch enquiry. Oh for the salad days of 2008.

    Butternut condemn him yet. Could be squashed on appeal.

    Another racer gets found out. So what happens now, he's palmares get struck off, he gives back his winnings?

    It would be gold and silver medalists kicked down retrospectively from that olympics if he is stripped of his 2008 gold
  • He's not getting stripped of owt

    Tested positive OOC in Aug 2017

    No results to strip under the AD rules. Proof of doping now is no (legal) proof of doping in the past

    B Sample also positive.

    BMC officially announced his contract is toast today, after initial suspension.

    Game over.

    I have a pet theory that he was known to be dodgy. Remember when he was struggling to get a team and you had to wonder why a rider of his quality was having a tough time.

    He's been given a two year ban, so is eligible to race again in three months, it's been dragged out that long.
