Another great dayâs racing in Glasgow.
Was in the thick of it out on the course doing line of sight. My ears are ringing from using the bloody whistle. Not had this since the last time I went to a gig years ago!
The crowds were fantastic again, Iâve spoken to so many amazing people these last few days. Big thing for me, right out of my comfort zone.

Good effort for GBR there

Track. Whatâs C2 mean?
Silver medal had one leg. 
Basically just that, cycling with one leg or other high level of dissabily. Iâm C3 because I cycle with a prosthetic.

I guess itâs not obvious what other disabilities are equivalent to missing a leg. I assume itâs mental or nervous system for the gold medalist.
Hadnât seen a reference to this but Dr Freeman has received a four year ban from UKAD. The GMC and UKAD are convinced that he bought the T-gel for a rider. That rider would either be BC or Sky but we donât know who.

He was struck off as a doctor a couple of years ago, wasnât he?
I canât see him being able to work in sport even if he wanted to now

No, it couldâve just been any old rider.

You think he was doping a rider for a team he wasnât working for?
If it was for any old rider surely he could just have written them a prescription?
From UKAD
"In March 2021, an MPTS tribunal found proven the allegation that Dr Freeman ordered testosterone, âknowing or believingâ it to be for an unnamed rider in May 2011 to improve their athletic performance. It was also found proven that he had lied to UKAD under investigation when claiming that the Testogel had been ordered for a ânon-riderâ patient and had been returned to the supplier. The MPTS tribunal erased Dr Freeman from the Medical Register, a decision which was subsequently upheld by the High Court on appeal by Dr Freeman.
On 22 December 2020 (whilst the MPTS hearing was ongoing), UKAD provisionally suspended Dr Freeman and charged him with the commission of Anti-Doping Rule Violations. He was charged with an Article 2.6 violation under the 2009 UK Anti-Doping Rules for âPossession of a Prohibited Substanceâ, namely testosterone, in connection with an Athlete, Event or training."
He was struck off by the GMC. He shouldnât work in sport again, he is a doping doctor. Letâs not forget the jiffy bag, which was maybe for Wiggins and all the traimcinalone they had. Geert Leinders taught them well.

Fairly sure it was on the BBC yesterday, obviously didnât name the cyclist but I guess that unless they failed a test theyâre presumed innocent?

They donât know who the rider is so they are all innocent, even the ones they didnât catch doping

Plenty of amateurs who dope, plenty of reasons why youâd not dope on your doorstep.
I mean of course the Sky and BC riders were doping, but that doesnât mean it was him doing it with this order, and very unlikely they were sourcing the materials in such a shit way - much more likely to my mind that this was some off the BC/Sky books doping so as to make some money on the side.

No need to fail a test to be guilty of doping.

But surely an amateur could just get a prescription? They would only need a TUE if you get caught.
Following his GMC hearings he seems a bit flakey, I wonder if he was just a rubbish doping doctor. Certainly no Geert Leinders.
Just ask David Millar

You cannot get a TUE for it.

I didnât know that was a rule for amateurs so had a look. You can get TUE for T use but not for age related low T as a natural part of aging. Not sure a doctor could easily make up a reason for the valid TUE for testosterone either. For amateurs then it is just a case of knowing your glow time and use it appropriately, or perhaps inappropriately.
