You don’t win 4 TDFs since founding a team in 2009 without being ruthlessly professional and organised.

You just have to be marginally better organised than the opposition, no?

Jeez.. looks like you dont even need to bother with a TUE with the omnishambles WADA made at Rio

It’s the IOC that were responsible for anti-doping organisation at Rio and are being criticised by WADA, who were observing:

The IOC is responsible for delivering an anti-doping program for the Olympic Games that
produces accurate and reliable testing outcomes, and that effectively deters cheating or
detects any cheating that nevertheless occurs. The IOC delegates the implementation of
the program to the LOC, but retains supervisory control and decision-making authority
throughout, consistent with its ultimate responsibility.
The role of the WADA IO Team is to help instill confidence in both athletes and the public
in the quality, effectiveness, and reliability of the IOC’s anti-doping program for the
Games. It does this by observing (by random sampling) all aspects of the Games antidoping
program, and by meeting with the IOC and the LOC on a daily basis during the
Games to provide feedback and to suggest areas of possible “real-time” improvement to
the program at the Games, as well as by making recommendations in its post-Games
report for potential improvements to the program for future editions of the Games.

All is revealed.

I watched the testimony this morning from BC/Shane Sutton/Dave B. BC guys were denying they really knew anything, Shane got angry that Team Sky were being investigated and Dave B seemed to be enjoying himself, especially when he got to reveal the package contents.

What a difference five months makes….

Noted.

Blimey. It’s looking a bit of a clusterf*** now.
