Arensman ends career because she is discouraged after finishing fourth at US CX champs between two trans women.
It’s the price we’re apparently willing to pay for this particular inclusiveness.

Two things today:
1. No top pro team wanted to sign Anna Kiesenhofer when I asked back in 2015.
2. Last year she decided to retire after Olympics because of her dislike for peloton riding. She did the warm-up loop today 3m behind the peloton - and attacked asap.

I don’t think you can be truly antidoping unless you want to see clean the sport you love clean. I would say you don’t truly love the sport unless you are antidoping.

Imagine there would be a legal shoe that makes you run your marathon significantly faster.
Now imagine this shoe would be sold by a company that directly & knowingly financially supports doping in running.
Would you buy the shoe and support doping?

I was attacked by Germans in 1997 when I accused Ullrich.
I was attacked by Americans in 1999 when I accused Armstrong.
I was attacked by British in 2011 when I accused Wiggins.

Ullrich comes across as genuine as ever. He says he thinks he would have been among the best without drugs but I’m yet to come across a doper saying the contrary.
He grew up in the GDR sports system so his claim that he started doping in 1996 seems unlikely. It’s moments like
Jan Ullrich: “900 cigarettes in 18 hours.”
But there was something else that stood out more. Tomorrow I’ll share.

It’s the golden age to get 2nd hand rim brake road bikes. I’ve seen some great ti frame & 2019 carbon bikes for sale.
Rim brakes are
- lighter
- less maintenance
- don’t squeak or rub
and they are ENOUGH. You can block your wheels on rim brakes. What else do you need?

Petacchi, who was banned for having been caught with 1320ng/ml salbutamol.
“How the hell did Froome get to 2000ng/ml?”
Petacchi asks because he was likely injecting the stuff himself.
So he actually knows well: Froome was injecting in addition to inhaling.

THE FUTURE OF PRO CYCLING
👉300+km stages, not 100km
👉no race radios, powermeters, bike changes
👉leave TV behind
👉mass start races to connect fans with pros

We agreed on working together in boosting credibility of athletes by
1) creating an OOC testing program that fills gaps &
2) setting up live broadcast from motordoping controls at big races.

Give them a second chance in life but any doper should be done for good with competing.
Talk to me when you’re cool having a bank clerk who stole cash to work for your bank. No one is ever going to hire that guy so why let dopers compete again?
@MrT_runner
Yes, I believe in lifetime bans. I think once you chose to use banned substances, you give up the privilege of competing in elite sport. But, there is no lifetime ban for first known offenses, so technically they are allowed back.

Leave me alone with your event featuring a doper. I’m not star struck because someone raced the Tour on drugs.

Valverde merely joined a long list of (ex-)pros that have been and will be refused GFNY as a platform. Some were never convicted but are highly suspicious, others were convicted like e.g. Alberto Contador.
GFNY does not need doped pros. Every rider is the star of our races.

You say “Why are you so obsessed about antidoping? They’re all at it so it’s a level playing field.”
You don’t have a team mate who won it all U23, had a signed world tour contract but walked from his dream/career/$$$ because he knew he would have to dope to be competitive.

It’s good to see Froome and Farah relegated to where they should always have belonged. They are prime examples of the influence drugs have on competition.
When average athletes can dominate a sport, it’s no longer sport. WWF doesn’t claim to be sport.

A titanium frame geometry can be aggressive if you make it. Stock titanium frames suffer from too tall head tubes which make for good touring bikes but are unsuitable for racing.

Froome was double above the threshold. That’s a positive test. Should be banned immediately and retroactively. Amount of substance indicates intention which means 4 year ban. Then he can appeal.

Yeah, we are fine with transphobes quitting. That price is pretty low actually, cycling shouldn’t be a welcoming space for misgendering and transphobia.

Now is a good time to remember how doping is executed and why dopers occasionally test positive.

The window of time an illegal substance shows up in a test depends on the substance and its half-life.
Athletes get tested in- and out of competition (IC/OOC).
The full decision presented against
