BBC Panorama Catch Me If You Can HD BBC Documentary 2015. Rugby's drug problem exposed as RFU boss admits: We realise it's an issue. We're addressing it Bonymaen’s Nick Clancy became the 10th rugby union player in the UK this year to be suspended for doping offenceFormer coach says he walked away from the professional game in disgust at the scale of drug-takingStudy of South African schoolboy players returned 12 positive tests for anabolic steroids out of just 52 undertaken By Sam Peters For Mail On Sunday and Matt Lawton for The Mail on Sunday Published: 22:37 GMT, 6 December 2014 | Updated: 23:14 GMT, 6 December 2014 Rugby union has a doping problem, with one former international coach claiming that there has been ‘institutionalised drug-taking’ since the game turned professional. In a week when Bonymaen’s Nick Clancy became the 10th rugby union player in the UK this year to be suspended for doping offences, the most senior figure in English rugby has admitted that the sport has an issue with drugs that urgently needs to be tackled. former France and Harlequins prop Laurent Benezech lifted the lid on doping in rugby.
Has the biological passport delivered clean or confused sport? Tired of coming second in one of the most uneven contests in sport, the anti-doping authorities gave up. What is the point, they reasoned, of testing for drugs the cheats have swapped for ones we cannot detect? But this was not surrender, it was an ambush. No longer would the testers be years behind the cheats, limited to the occasional success of catching somebody too daft to stop doping in time for the evidence to disappear, or those who really had doped by accident. From now on, they would abandon the search for specific drugs and instead establish what an athlete's normal blood values were and wait for something abnormal to happen.
For a sport losing its grip on credibility, the biological passport was viewed as cycling's saviour and was so good even Lance Armstrong said it "worked". It was no surprise when athletics, football and tennis said they, too, would start using it. So why are athletes, from all sports, still doping? "It's a fantastic tool when used properly," he added. What teams can learn from the Tiernan-Locke case | CyclingTips. The Tiernan-Locke case – and, also, the Roman Kreuziger situation – have shown that there are risks to teams in signing riders from other squads. With the UCI biological passport potentially taking a couple of years to detect anomalies, there is a chance that one team will have to deal with the repercussions of what took place under the contract of another. CyclingTips looks at the Tiernan-Locke case, pinpoints errors made and asks what can be learned from it.
In the spring of 2012 Jonathan Tiernan-Locke forced his way onto the radar of Garmin- Sharp and other teams with a number of career-best performances. The-then Endura Racing Continental-level rider won two stages, the overall classification and the points competition in the Tour of the Mediterranean, then went to the Tour du Haut Var and dominated there. He followed those rides up with second overall behind Nairo Quintana in the Vuelta a Murcia. “Finally he agreed to come down. “That to me that was sort of inconclusive.

Yvan Vanmol . Dopeology. Flinke schadevergoeding voor Patrick Lefevere en Yvan Vanmol. Patrick Lefevere krijgt een schadevergoeding van 500.000 euro toegekend na een artikelreeks in Het Laatste Nieuws. Ploegarts Yvan Vanmol krijgt 100.000 euro. Dat vonniste de rechtbank van eerste aanleg in Brussel op 15 oktober. Het Laatste Nieuws beschuldigde de QuickStep-top eind januari 2007 van handel in en toedienen van doping. Die dienden daarop klacht in.
De krant gaat wellicht in beroep. De artikelenreeks deed destijds heel wat stof opwaaien. Twee weken na de feiten kwam directeur-uitgever Jaak Smeets van de NV Persgroep Publishing in Knack met een mea culpa: deze artikels hadden niet zo in de krant mogen verschijnen. Lefevere voerde aan dat hij door die heisa een sponsorcontract met Franke (badkamers en keukens) ter waarde van 34 miljoen euro mocht vergeten. De zaak werd gepleit op 1 september voor eerste aanleg in Brussel. In het vonnis (73 pagina’s) hebben de rechters De ter beest, Van der borght en De Breucker die zienswijze wel volledig overgenomen.

Shades of grey between MPCC’s ethical code and Team Sky’s TUE for Chris Froome Where does the line between performance medication end and performance enhancement begin?
And secondly, what’s more important: the letter of the law or the ethics behind it? They are questions that cycling teams face whenever medical practices are brought into question and it is a debate that has thrown the defending Tour de France champion, Chris Froome, into the public eye with legitimate questions raised over Team Sky’s anti-doping stance, the policy of the UCI’s handling of Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process and the grey area between Movement For Credible Cycling (MPCC) teams and the rest of the field.
As has been reported, Froome and the medical staff at Team Sky applied for a TUE at the Tour of Romandie due to the rider carrying a chest infection that had ruled him out of Liege-Bastogne-Liege. The substance involved was Prednisone, a glucocorticosteroid, a derivative of cortisol. Eight-day rule. Old doping accusations lead to altercation - VeloNews.com. By Neal Rogers Jemison in 1999. Photo: Graham Watson It was over in an instant, but the altercation between a Tour of Utah race staffer and Garmin-Chipotle team doctor Prentice Steffen was years in the making. During the stage 3 criterium in Salt Lake City last Friday, Tour of Utah team liaison Marty Jemison, a former U.S. Postal Service rider, punched Steffen after the team doctor made what Jemison considered to be an inflammatory remark about alleged doping dating back over a decade.
Jemison and Steffen worked together at U.S. In 2001 Steffen told Irish reporter David Walsh that in 1996 U.S. “Two of my riders approached me saying they wanted to talk about the medical program,” Steffen told Walsh, adding that he understood the conversation as to be related to doping. Discovery spokespeople attacked Steffen’s credibility, dismissing the allegations as those of a disgruntled former employee. “I got maybe 10 feet away, and he said, ‘no, come on, I want to talk to you about it.’
OutspokenCyclist | Show #127 – January 26, 2013. Op-ed: Thompson says cleaning house is the only way forward - VeloNews.com. As cycling’s latest doping conspiracy unfolded, I was more than a little surprised to read an article in which the author flatly stated that women’s pro ranks were unaffected, “since there wasn’t the prize money involved, etc., there was just no reason for the women to dope.” Oh really? With one general statement, the author can simply wipe away reality and, yes, the many women who have tested positive or otherwise been mired in their own controversies.
Where has she been? After spending 10 years in a sport that I passionately loved, I finally, regretfully, sadly, and quite angrily walked away with a sense of disappointment and resignation. Over those final years I was repeatedly subjected to pressures to be a “team player” by the very same people who eventually went on to work with the U.S. Postal Service and the coaches for up-and-coming riders of today that were “forced” to dope. Think about that. Maybe you think I’m being too optimistic about my son here?
I’ve watched him on a bike. Perspectives on Doping in Pro Cycling – 2: Inga Thompson | The Outer Line. (Editors’ Note: This article is the second in a series of in-depth personal narratives about the impact of doping on the lives of people within or now outside of the sport of pro cycling. This series presents alternative views of how the doping culture has proliferated in the sport; new revelations of how it has caused harm to the people, economics, and governance of the sport, and; why the Cycling Independent Reform Commission’s charter needs to look farther back in time than 1998 to make a lasting difference. Through this, we hope to stir constructive debate about how the sport can come to terms with the past in order to find a new way forward.
Watch for other articles and perspectives over the next several weeks.) Mention the name Inga Thompson to a modern cycling fan, and you might get a raised eyebrow. “Inga who?” But to fans and observers of the sport from the 1980s and early 1990s, Inga Thompson was perhaps one of the most successful and influential women in cycling.

By Matt Slater BBC Sport The world of international sports administration has thrown up some characters over the years, but few have come with as much baggage as Hein Verbruggen, quite literally, as he is carrying a leather holdall stuffed with binders and folders when we meet. The former president of the International Cycling Union (UCI) has come to a TV production company's office in Geneva to give his first interview to the BBC since we reported allegations the UCI had taken money to get keirin into the Olympic velodrome.
The 72-year-old Dutchman has got an explanation for that in his bag, but that is not why we are meeting. We are here to find out who is telling the truth: Lance Armstrong, the teller of perhaps the biggest lie ever told in professional sport, or Verbruggen, a man described by a contact of mine that morning as knowing "where all the bodies are buried". Verbruggen remembers it differently. Before I try to answer that, let me go back to the beginning. Play media.

Vero Image Kayle Leogrande, an American cyclist and tattoo artist, has filed a defamation suit against as many as 32 people. Kayle Leogrande is an American cyclist on the controversial domestic team Rock Racing. A tattoo artist in California, he has brightly-colored designs running up his arms and legs. But the ink that is making him notorious in his sport might be the ink he is spilling in a barrage of lawsuits. Leogrande recently served a defamation complaint upon Matt DeCanio, a fellow professional cyclist, and Suzanne Sonye, a former staff member for the Rock Racing team - which is stocked with several riders tainted by doping scandals, including 2004 Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton. The complaint, which seeks punitive damages from DeCanio and Sonye for “false and wildly incredible allegations,” also named defendants “DOES 1-30, inclusive” - meaning Leogrande and his lawyer are positioned to sue 30 more people if that’s what it takes.
What was the alleged slander? Vero Image. Italian cyclists rebel against UCI over Armstrong case. Rome, October 26 - Italian professional cyclists' association ACCPI on Friday challenged the authority of the sport's international governing body, the UCI, for its handling of the Lance Armstrong case. On Monday the UCI stripped Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him for life, but the move only came after the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) had done the same following probes into doping by the American rider.
ACCPI said in a statement that there were suspicions that the UCI had allegedly "not wanted to see" Armstrong's illegal practices and even more serious ones of the possibility that the body was allegedly involved in covering them up. Therefore, ACCPI called on the UCI to "take a step back so that cycling can regain credibility" and drop the role it has in administering sporting justice for cycling. "The UCI can no longer be the guarantor of the application of sporting justice," the ACCPI statement said. Lance Armstrong and the Prisoners' Dilemma of Doping in Professional Sports | Wired Opinion. Doping in professional sports is back in the news, as the overwhelming evidence against Lance Armstrong led to his being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and more. But instead of focusing on the issues of performance-enhancing drugs and whether professional athletes be allowed to take them, I’d like to talk about the security and economic aspects of the issue.
Because drug testing is a security issue. Various sports federations around the world do their best to detect illegal doping, and players do their best to evade the tests. It’s a classic security arms race: Improvements in detection technologies lead to improvements in drug detection evasion, which in turn spur the development of better detection capabilities. Right now, it seems drugs are winning; in some places, these drug tests are described as “intelligence tests” – if you can’t get around them, you don’t deserve to play.
Bruce Schneier is a security technologist and author. The Doping Arms Race as Prisoners’ Dilemma. French Federation Doctor Wants Tighter Corticoid Checks. Riders should not race with TUE, says Madiot French Cycling Federation doctor Armand Mégret has expressed his concern at the use of corticoids under therapeutic use exemption in the peloton, while FDJ-BigMat manager Marc Madiot has called on teams to rest any riders who require corticoid treatment rather than allowing them to race with a TUE. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s international standards for therapeutic use exemptions were implemented in 2005, a move which extended the previously permissible level of corticoids provided that an athlete had a prescription to show that they were being used therapeutically.
In recent years, the French federation has organised additional blood tests in conjunction with the MPCC (Movement for Credible Cycling) in a bid to detect corticoid use. Under MPCC rules, any rider from a member team using corticoids for medial reasons is expected to stay out of competition for two weeks.
