All seems fair enough to me…
That seems reasonable. I still maintain that a life time ban from UCI or similar competition has to be part of the answer to this issue. The rewards for success are so great that if an athlete has to take two years off they can probably wear the break given the risk/reward imbalance as things stand.
Not the best use of the English language, or a poor translation, either way, poor for a press release from a large organisation?
How is your Japanese?
All good to hear. Be interesting to see how strictly it is adhered to.
Fair comment re the press release though – Big multi national company etc etc.
Why shouldn’t they? Makes ma hink, will all the dopers ride with SRAM on their bikes?
Brilliant! So what about the translation – it’s the message that counts!
come on SRAM & Campag – step up and issue similar… NOW!
Maybe it’ll shame the UCI into action – 2 year bans are pathetic.
Now we’ll know where to get the good vitamins.
The teams using SRAM & Campag. 🙂
