Anyone know when the results from the B sample test will be known?

That’s the reason certain painkillers and the like are banned in cycling, don’t want someone nodding off in the middle of the peloton

The racing may not have started but the meeting started when the riders sign in , sports like football and athletics usually do the testing after the match or race has finished and they are suspended from the next match or whatever

Isn’t it normal practice to suspend a rider or any other sportsperson until the outcome of the second test only then can any punishment be applied ?

Is that the sound of a reversing alarm I hear, with a u-turn like that you should be a politician, or maybe it was just a fishing trip looking for a few bites , if it was looks like you were successful

Innocent or not, like I've said already it's sheer stupidity,

It was Flint who wanted to move on

If it's something like a Lemsip or Night Nurse that causes a rider to provide a non-negative sample I still find it strange that this would happen especially after all the publicity from recent events . These types of medications are can cause drowsiness, that's one of the reasons they are banned . Surely by now riders know what's on the banned list and I'm sure team bosses will have stressed to their riders to be careful about what they are taking . If it's something stronger the I've no sympathy for any rider who fall foul of the testing regime. They're bound to know that there's always a chance that they might get tested. In both scenarios it's sheer stupidity if you get caught,.

Looking at my weather app , it's showing 94% chance of rain on Friday for Armadale

Always good to start the season with a couple of wins

A long term plan is only any good if they actually stick to it and don't scrap it after two seasons
