What would you keep in a pocket that could help and you could administer without anyone noticing ?
I'm.filing this with the electric bike theories.
I posted the vid in one of the spoiler threads when it actually happened.
Apparently we are to believe he would take whatever it is out of his back pocket and take it, while riding along with cameras around him, as he was riding to the finish.
I saw some speculation it was a "finishing bottle" or something perhaps.
I prefer the more logical explanation that he was taking stuff out of Remcos pocket in case he needed to be put on a stretcher and in case of back injuries.
The UCI president has been under fire for terrible safety in races and he has no intention of addressing it - he's too busy sucking up to dictators. So to deflect attention he amplifies a half baked conspiracy from a twitter troll. As a bonus the team which has suffered the most from the lack of safety is the centre of it.
This is how bad politicians operate. Trump and Johnson do it all the time.
UCI president David Lappartient confirmed the investigation on Friday and questioned a statement Bramati gave shortly after the crash, in which the Italian mentioned knowing beforehand that Evenepoel had crashed as his "data had stopped."
"The directeur sportif said he thought Evenepoel had fallen as no more data was being sent," said Lappartient. "What data are we talking about then? After all, it is forbidden to send certain data. So, we are also looking at that point. If it is only about geographical position then it's something else, but sharing other data is not allowed."
UCI regulations allow the use of onboard technology but prohibit the transmission of data to third parties unless UCI approval is given, as per Velon or other data collection devices.
Meh. Not even jiffy bag conspiracy theory level.

The poor censored could have died coming off that bridge and Lappartient is talking about something being taken out of his pocket before being poured onto stretcher. 4FS
It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

He drank out of a white carton a few km before, then put the carton in his pocket. The chances are it was a finishing bottle and he was asked by paramedics to empty his pockets.

Plus how the hell do they get through doping control having taken something during the race? It's just another conspiracy theory for the batshit brigade to obsess over. If there was anything dodgy in the pocket then the more likely scenario is it would be tech related but the most obvious answer is they cleared his pockets so nothing would dig into his back on the stretcher. The first aid courses I've done have always said to check back pockets before treating a casualty.

It's the way the guy looks shifty when taking it out I think. It doesn't look like he is systematically taking stuff out to get him on a stretcher. But that still seems the most likely to me.
Re: what's in a finishing bottle and doping control - it wouldn't have anything banned, obviously, just possibly a bit grey. Apparently tramadol and caffeine is fairly normal but other medications can be included. Obviously there's been some stuff about tramadol recently. Finishing bottles are pretty normal (seems pretty normal to me to want a bottle with caffeine at the end of a stage). If it had a load of tramadol in it you could maybe see why they would want to take it out, even if it's technically allowed it isn't a great look.
I was prescribed tramadol after my hand reconstruction surgery. Great painkiller but lethal in the long run. I think any rider taking tramadol is seriously off their rocker.

It's a six second clip. Any cropped clip can be made to look suspicious to those who want suspicion. My guess is the long unedited cut shows him hanging around doing nothing until told to by the paramedic.
A finishing bottle is a high carb content with maybe a bit of caffeine.
hope this is a one off. Dont want the UCI to start searching twiiter for crazy theories and opening investigations.
No, we wouldn't want an investigation into why the UCI awarded next year's track Worlds to a dictatorship that rivals North Korea that has never previously sent a rider to the Worlds and where Lappartient's main backer Igor Makarov (a native of the country) has substantial business interests. Or why the UCI awarded said dictator the UCI's highest honour* 'not awarded to anyone since 2007'. But that's not on twitter, it's not sportswashing like a Land Rover knock off.
*The two previous President's don't know what this honour is.

If you don't take selfies then you're not really doing it. 😉
I am not sure. You have no chance.

2014. Bang up to date.

Well tramadol is banned for a start and very out of favour anyway. It's just an energy drink, like one of those mini Red Bull drinks.
