    Looks like Rich might be right about Shane's need for some performance enhancement.

    Seems to me like Dr. (tbc) Freeman had a rather high opinion of himself and forgot to bother with plebian things like record keeping and patient notes meaning that he's in a rather serious amount of trouble with the RCGP.

    Though not actually with UKAD...

    Again as a fan of pro cycling it rather irks me that no questions will be asked of the former sport or club where he learned these habits though.

    Talk on Twitter that correspondence involving DCMS and a DM journalist have been withheld. These apparently discredit SS as a reliable witness and ‘could’ kill the whole Jiffy bag story.
    Damian Collins has already backed out as he is no longer an MP and the DCMS is dissolved - timing ... :)

    He seems to me someone who took on more work than he could handle and cut corners. Add in Sutton's behaviour to some staff and mental health issues, and I think he's most likely a decent guy who got himself into a bad place.

    Well that's much more charitable Rich, yes.

    Ma and Pa raver are in the business though and both were surprised about the lack of documentation. It's considered level 101. They basically assume he's going to be struck off...

    They certainly wouldn't write me a prescription, let alone source me drugs off the record. Pa wouldn't even sign one of those French health certificate thingums for me.

    I'm hoping Ravers have a more pleasurable working environment.

    Throughout all of this there was one account from someone at Sky which I always thought gave the most credible picture - nothing illegal, something that could be frowned on, Sutton is an arsehole. Note the last line.

    I notice that Collins says the committee carefully consider what evidence they will accept and publish. Given that they saw fit to publicly interview at middle-aged cat 3 amateur and bulked out their report with passages copied from the CIRC report, I'd like to know what they thought was unacceptable.

    It's a punchy letter. I wonder how anonymous it really is to those who know given the interesting choices of spelling and grammar.

    Is it just me who is interested in the potential of being an "unwitting porn"?

    Any reason why viagra wouldn’t have done the job? I mean for Sutton’s problems rather than the cycling cheating obvs.

    I think Viagra is a short term fix just to enable sex, while testosterone is more for long term rejuvination and well being

    Lack of testosterone equates to lack of sex drive. So a head issue rather than a trouser one.

    One of Pa raver's concerns is exactly that, The treatment for erectile dysfunction is Viagra, see also, the treatment of allergies is not Kenalog...

    Many years ago they may have been but not now...

    but it then kind of confirms the working theory on the jiffy bag "The offence is only committed if used in 'competition' time if used the day after it is not an offence." and the in competition time included sitting on the bus that hadnt disappeared after the end of the race

    and why is it "interestingly" that it was Nicole Cookes personal coach Fabio Bartolucci who was picked up by BC?

    If there was Testosterone "in the jiffy bag" that would be illegal tho

    (Or the use of it would be obvs...)

    The dysfunction stuff is just speculation. But it's not an unusual for a man in his 50s to use testosterone gel.

    As for the kenalog. It's not what you'd give a regular person. But ask Pa Raver if he was promised £1m to get a patient through summer with no allergy incidents, what would he prescribe? Still Piritin and come back two weeks?

    Hi Moderators.

    I seem to be having problems replying to other peoples quotes - with quotes included. And just on this thread. I don't know why. I can post without the moderation delay if I don't quote like this, even if I say really controversial things.

    Let's try:

    Helmets should be compulsory
    Cyclocross is just 'It's a knockout' on bikes
    Contador shouldn't have waited
    Froome wouldn't have won the 2012 Tour
    Carlton Kirby is better than Rob Hatch
    Shane Sutton can't get a boner
    (I believe at least three of these)

    Cheers

    Rich

    I would guess because he was arrested during the 2001 Giro sting operation in San Remo that left the likes of Pantani eating ice cream the following day, instead of climbing Alps....

    I think it might have been the use of a drug name beginning with 'V' and ending in 'iagra'

    Possibly because the committee has previously spoken to Cooke (the only cyclist they actually spoke to)

    That might make sense.

    Anyway I was trying to respond to your post. I was trying to say that we don't exactly know what Sutton's issue was (or if indeed it existed), and calling ED is just shorthand. So we can't really judge whether he was prescribed the right medicine.

    So basically, tomorrow were going to find out if...

    a) Team Sky is the new biggest fraud in Sports History

    Or

    b) Shane Sutton is an old man

    Tune in

    Which is Sutton prepared to admit to? He seems like he'd rather confess to being the Zodiac Killer than to not getting his pecker up.

    I think the erectile dysfunction part is heresay. More a middle aged man looking for rejuvication, whatever that means.

    As for the kenalog, it's not what you would give a regular person. But now ask them if they where promised £1m if they could get a person through the summer with no allergy problems what would they give them? Would it still be Piritin?

    I don't think anyone official has said it was for erectile dysfunction. More just standard middle aged issues. And kenalog is not what a normal person would treat allergies with, but if it may well be if you have a multi-million pound sports team and need certainties.
