The Official Doping Post
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:22 am
This is the official Doping Post.
Because of the media coveage this is a massive topic this year and in this forum we are splitting posts/topics about the racing events (ie. non doping discussion) and Blood Doping discussion from one another.
Wikipedia:Blood_doping
The first resource with all of the info you need to know about the technicalities.
So, let the questions and discussions continue in this post:
• My newest info is that the Law courts just won the right to get blood doping evidence from Jan Ulrich's residence in Switzerland even though Ulrich attempted an injunction.
• German Public Channels ARD and ZDF coverage was stopped after T-Mobile rider Patrik Sinkewitz was found positive (in the A test).
• Alexander Vinokourov won stage 13 (time trial) and has tested positive. Both of these riders face a two year ban and forfeit 1 years income, for Sinkewitz that is 500,00 Euro.
• Many of the major sponsors of affected teams have publically questioned their continued sponsorship... a number of sponsors will review their sponsorship at the end of the tour.
