So assisting in the CIRC is no longer a valid argument of cleanliness!
It just goes to show that despite what some people are saying on this forum those who cheat are still being caught. Good result all round.
No, it goes to show that some of those that cheat are still being caught. And they are the dumbest, most unsophisticated dopers - the very bottom of the doping food chain.

Yeah, that was a proper hissy fit.
He's also the guy who held on to the team car and was booted from the Irish stage race and then took to social media to lambast the comm, the officials and pretty much the whole country. Pretty much just a loser all around.

Maybe he had no choice. Maybe it was either take EPO or else no longer be able to keep up with the rest and end up out of the sport.
