Ive been a cycling nut for thirty years, and I'm with you, I just don't know. I don't like Millar, but am trying not to let that cloud any objectivity. | ||

I suspect the BOA will be told to fall in line with the rest of the world, and rightly so!! If the world governing body of the sports concerned, and WADA are content for individuals to return to competition after serving a suspension who are the BOA to decide differently, another example of this country's holier than thow stance penalising its people.. | ||

"The only argument then comes as to what was the nature of how that prohibited substance got into the athlete's system. But you're a cheat, effectively, the moment you've got that substance in there.'' This came after the hearing where it was ackowledged that On the balance of probabilities, Cas said it believed a suspect food supplement was to blame. Are you a cheat if you have no knowledge of doing it? I realise there is a bloody good chance that he knew exactly what he was doing, but that's now what CAS found..... | ||
