What a mess this case is. 2 of the 3 missed tests were just before the OG, where she won silver. Other race results stripped but keeps the medal. Missed a 4th test in 2026, whilst still not banned. Backdated ban. Except she competed during that time! 🤷‍♂️ cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/…

Komunikat Darii Pikulik w sprawie zawieszenia za niestawienie się 3 razy na kontrolach dopingowych. Szkoda, że temat zniknięcia Darii nie został w żaden sposób poruszony w przyjacielskim wywiadzie dla Kanału Zero 2 miesiące temu...

Great advert for missing tests rather than risk testing +ve. Rider able to race despite her infraction. 18 month retro sanction is rather ridiculous given she raced multiple times during it. Michaela Drummond (4th) denied podium in Vuelta CV Feminas. cyclingweekly.com/racing/oly…

WTF? To jest rozmowa sprzed dwóch miesięcy. Zgodnie z oświadczeniem zawodniczki CAS w marcu uznał jej winę.

🇫🇷 Bassons on why he forgave 🇺🇸 Armstrong 🗣️ "The primary reason why I met him is that a few years earlier, Pantani died. He died alone in a room after falling into drug addiction because he tested positive and was rejected by the cycling world.” 📰 domestiquecycling.com/en/new… 📸 Cor Vos

Imagine racing in the 90s at the highest level and claiming not having known about EPO. I was 18 back in 1992 when I figured out what the elite does - as a measly amateur! Oh, just 7 years before Fritschy here. GTFO.
Replying to @ClmPncn
Parce qu'à 21 ans je n'avais pas la prétention de penser que les mecs plus forts que moi ne l'étaient que grace au dopage. J'étais qui pour me considérer comme le mètre étalon ?

UFC fighter tests +ve twice for Ostarine. Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) decided that the ingestion was 'unintentional', so 6 month ban. Panel decided that the low levels found did not provide her with "any significant performance advantage". ufc.com/news/statement-on-ja…

This is separate, from 2017.
Given the recent accusations of cheating aimed at a certain Premier League club, I'm surprised that this story from 2019 has gone under the radar👇
