Iban cleared


Iban has now officially been cleared of any wrong doing in relation to the "non-negative" doping test. Though I was quite confident of the outcome, you`re always bound to be nervous, so it`s no doubt a relief as well. I`m not suspicious of Iban at all, as he proved that he`s got naturally high testosterone levels years ago. This isn`t the first time this has happened to Iban either, it`s happened several times. Anyway, I`m just glad for him as well. Must have been awful for him. Well, here`s the statement the UCI released earlier today:


The UCI has noted press reports about three purportedly abnormal analysis results linked to the last Giro d'Italia. While regretting the premature publication of this news item, the UCI wishes to clarify the following points.
No breach of the UCI antidoping rules was committed by the Spanish rider Iban Mayo of the Saunier Duval team. A further examination conducted by IRMS has enabled any possibility of testosterone administration to be ruled out. This further analysis was requested by the UCI following the notification by the Rome laboratory of a T/E value in excess of the norm laid down in the rules; that finding made further examinations necessary. The history of this particular case shows the vital need to await the closure of the relevant investigations before reaching conclusions.
In the other cases, the analyses requested by the UCI are still in progress

Man, what a relief! Of course I've never suspected Iban for doing anything wrong, but in cycling you can never really be sure if a rider is using dope or not, so when I first heard of this I thought: oh no, not him too... But now I'm just glad that it turned out to be false alarm. But what a fucking blunder by the press!!

I think it was just a technicality picked up by the press in order to sell more newspapers.

You`re probably right, but publishing such stories is just mean. The newspapers are all trying to give cycling the badest image possible...
