I would to have someone on oath explain about the jiffy bag. It was for Emma Pooley, it got there after the team bus had left, it got there while the bus was there but Wiggins had left, no idea what was in it.
Josh Edmondson admitted doping whilst as Sky and Riding for BC.
Does JTL count as a BC/Sky rider who doped?
Probably, he was another choice I thought of using, although I think he DNSâd when he was in the UK team? but we only need the one counter point for the lawyer phone calls.
Interesting, considering he used to go out with GTB for a number of years.
Imagine some people at British Triathlon were sweating about that.
So you meant to include âsome ofâ in this
No, I think if I was wanting to suggest all, I wouldâve included the word all.
arr but he only doped the once, and just was unlucky he forgot to throw the empty can away with the vial in it.
Michael Hessman of Jumbo Visma suspended by the team for a positive anti doping test.
Uhoh
22 and doping, sad.
Truth, right there. I mean even Brits can be tempted once.
Millar never claimed that he only doped once
In that case I take my previous comment back. Off topic from pro-cycling but how some people are viewed having doped as pariahs but others get a free pass, itâs odd to me. Is it just PR? Tyson Fury being a good example.
I would have thought that if youâre not going to go âfull Lanceâ and dope your way to 7 Tour wins, the times to dope are at the beginning of your career when you need a big result to secure that lucrative contract or the end when youâre starting to slow down
No he didnât, its called artistic licence. But surely you dont fall for all his BS? St David of Millar, no sir I didnât want to dope, the bad men forced me, Lance did it worse, and it was only for a short while. Mr Brailsford helped he mend my bad ways and so did Mr Vaughters. Heâs is full of it.
I do think JV seems pretty straight up about this. He doesnât run the pretence that Brailsford did with Sky that everyone was 100% clean prior to coming to Sky. JV has always come across as his team is clean and he wants his riders to be honest about their past with him.
I find Millar irritating AF. He admitted what he did because the police interviewed him not because he suddenly had a change of heart. His voice just winds me up, I think thatâs all it is.
Iâm not sure that JV came out of the whole Lance federal investigation that well. Pretty much everyone who rode for USP came out and confessed, so it wasnât a big surprise when he did to, but it was a bit at odds with his âclean teamâ persona.
I wonder if Millar has forgiven JV for not picking him for the Tour in Yorkshire in his final year of riding?
Nope. A couple of comments in the podcast from this years tour confirms that. With the added insight that no one leaves a JV team on good terms with JV - they are all very peculiar characters. Pro sportspeople, you have to be slightly odd to get to that top level.
not all, but there does seem to be a high number
Lol Vaughters is one of the biggest hypocrites in cycling.
Touting Ryder Hesjedal as a âcleanâ winner of the Giro when he new full well Hesjedal had used EPO before.
Being very selective about what he said about his own doping.
