Pedalchick and Joey....three months later.

Newsgroups: rec.bicycles.racing From: "Chad Gibson" Date: 20 Dec 2004 19:22:12 -0800 Local: Mon, Dec 20 2004 7:22 pm Subject: And the LATEST US drug cheat is...... The source of my anger wasn't Joey, nor was my post directed at him. I actualy wasn't angry at all. I just found it funny; you getting bent out of shape over a little protein powder and snake oil 'get ripped' supplements that are LEGAL when you let a doper coach you. Plus, I simply don't like you very much. Joey knows how I feel about him, and if he doesn't, well he would have to be pretty dense. Although, constantly joking about doping, bragging that you know who is and isn't doping in the peloton, telling people that EPO is available over the internet or over the counter in Mexico, working for a pharma co, and taking enough Caffine and sudafed (back when they were banned) to make you see God in broad daylight right before a NRC crit next to the car, with teammates and passers-by milling around: then getting popped after a string of suspiciously good results for a less than mediocre career tail-gunner. Then loudly proclaming your innocence-that's pretty dense. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even classify my post as a personal attack-I was simply pointing out what I percieved as a double standard with you. On one hand, you defend J to the end, even tho he is beyond guilty and everyone knows it. You even went so far as to have people kicked off your team because they dared to say it out loud. Yet your gentle sensibilities are offended by a little Ripped Fuel being sold at your gym? So if some weightroom monkey wants to choke back every wonder drug cum shot that GNC can pump on him, that's not okay--yet, a guy in your own sport is a doper, guilty as hell, and you think it's just peachy for him to remain in the sport as a coach and advisor to lower cat riders and juniors? I say horse****, plain and simple. Why doesn't Joey have the balls to post anymore? cp |

Taking on the testers
One rider's effort to clear his name D'Antoni maintains his innocence By Phil Marques Special to VeloNews This report filed November 25, 2004 On September 24, the United States Antidoping Agency announced the two-year suspension of 27-year-old Joey D'Antoni. Click image to enlarge by Mike Hoffman D'Antoni in 2002 The track racer from Raleigh, North Carolina, tested positive for recombinant human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO), a synthetic hormone that increases the body's ability to produce red blood cells. D'Antoni is the third U.S. cyclist to test positive for the banned hormone. Former U.S. national time trial champion Adham Sbeih tested positive in August of 2003. More recently, up-and-coming rider Adam Bergman joined the blacklist. Sbeih argued he never took EPO. "I've never even seen the stuff," he said. Despite offering evidence in his hearing that his result would have been considered negative had the EPO test been run at the Australian WADA lab, Sbeih earned the dubious distinction of becoming the first U.S. cyclist to be found guilty of taking EPO and socked with a two year ban. Click image to enlarge by Casey B. Gibson For all intents and purposes, the competitive careers of all three men are now finished. Sbeih has since retired and now works in the financial industry. Bergman, whose case is pending before the North American Court of Arbitration for Sport, declined to be interviewed citing his the upcoming arbitration hearing. But those familiar with the CAS process say he has little chance of overturning a test result that has no way of being contradicted. UCLA Olympic Lab Director Dr. Don Catlin, M.D., acknowledges the lack of outside peer review for the EPO test. "I do not know of a single lab - other than a handful of WADA labs - that performs this test," says Catlin. "There is no demand for it other than for doping control. Maybe there is a clandestine lab trying to monitor athletes?" |
