Starts at 40:40. Wouldnt send him authentic test results. Make his lawyers fly to europe to see them on a screen. Once they arrive, the story changes to "oops we deleted them". Landis: "over and over they did things like that until you run out of money."
Fuck WADA and Fuck the FIM.

Months to make decisions and now this. Please explain how Wada is the least bit professional.
Get rid of them and FIM.
The Shop
the performers tend to take it in the ass as a result. unfortunate paradox.
ebikes honestly cant come soon enough. choice is nothing but a good thing.
Not a dig on Tickle but whatever it was his performance on a dirtbike wasn’t enhanced. However, this PED that made the list is potent enough of a PED to suspend him til...??? Seems kind of oxymoronish.
Why should/would this be any different than getting popped with a big bore???
For some strange reason i can see Chad Reed doing this and actually pulling it off once he retires.
There is no case to argue. The rules are clear. If you disagree with them that's fine; don't sign up in the first place. But don't disregard the rules that you've agreed to adhere to and then argue afterwards, once you're caught out, that they're unfair.
Also, can WADA actually do anything if a racing body ignores them?
And why would you want them to? Because 3 riders out of all those contesting FIM and AMA races worldwide for the last however many years under these same rules got busted for breaking them?
Pit Row
He tested positive for something that obviously gives NO performance enhancing properties
Furthermore he is in limbo for entirely too long for what was probably the equivalent of drinking a Monster (the crap that the series is based on)
My arguement is more for the lackadaisical approach of the testing/enforcing agency and the control it holds over his life for such a measly violation (violation nonetheless)
Let the punishment fit the crime more or less (kinda like getting caught stealing a candy bar vs stealing a car) and being told you can’t walk the streets or your penalty may be increased.
That is all
Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader: "Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools."
When an organisation decides that caffeine should be on its banned list then it has become clear that said organisation is well and truly overstepping its remit and is getting out of control and becoming power mad.
WADA is not fit for purpose in its current form and needs new leadership or dissolving.
A guy got 19 thumbs down over saying fuck drug cheats? The morals of the USA are gone, gotta cheat to win, yay that’s the new American way.
? on.
We have an organisation given power and authority and with it can irrecoverably affect an athletes career and WADA seem answerable to no one.
When we have professional athletes that are in charge of 200lbs of fast moving machinery allowing those athletes to take a stimulant/energy boosting supplement that would aid them in remaining focused and alert would be a good thing I would have thought.
What should be happening is riders now, who haven't tested positive, complaining about the WADA enforcement process and convoluted arbitration process. They need to speak up and get it fixed before they're going through the system themselves.
You're correct they agree to it, for that matter any of us who are amateur bike racers have too via our USA Cycling memberships.
EXCEPT:
Broc has stated that he did not ingest those ingredients. Nobody in his group can explain where they came from or how they got into his bloodstream.
WADA has declared him guilty by fiat, and now he's guilty until proven innocent. They have provided no way to appeal, no forum to plead his case, and no substantiation of evidence other than their own word. He cannot cross-examine the evidence against him nor face his accuser. Broc can only wait and guess how long his career will be interrupted. Meanwhile, all his sponsors that he worked his whole life to collect are committing support and funds to other riders and moving on.
Ask yourself this: What if Broc Tickle really was innocent? How could he prove it? How would the word even know?
But the problem most people have is the broken WADA policy of No communication.How do you appeal or know what to do next if they won't communicate?
I am an American and letting cheaters slide is NOT the American way.Very stupid of you to make such a statement because of 19 people on a forum don't like to to believe Broc was caught with a banned substance.19 people is a small sample size of an nation of over 300 million.
