German XC Racer Helen Grobert Banned for 4 Years After Testing Positive for Testosterone
@WAKIdesigns:
i only don't like him as had no care about destroying the lives and careers of anyone who threatened his little empire.
cheats are cheats. scumbags who destroy lives to protect themselves are criminals.

due process. ie giving her time to appeal etc before finalising the case.

@jptothetree:
look at the lance case, i'm usually pretty forgiving and allow them a second chance. In lances case no, not because of the doping but his systemic destruction of other riders who went against or threatened to out him and ruining their careers. He was a monster who would do anything to stay at the top and was in denial for ages until his sponsers left him for tarnishing their reps before he finally admitted to what he had done.
Maes i think was a situation handled badly, was he juicing, i doubt it, did the doc screw up royally, i think that is closer to the truth, a simple phone call at the hospital by the doc or after the race would have gone a long way to stopping what happened to the rider.

@PaulBoettig:
i think that was why he got the ban, if he had owned up straight away they prob would have given him a med waiver and the doc a word in his ear and let it go. i believe it was becsuse it was still in his system two weeks later when tested. Prob why he didn't fight it. though if i was the UCI that Doc would never be working at an event again if he didn't know what drugs where legal or not or the correct reporting procedures if he had to go off script to save the riders life.

How the Coronavirus Lockdown is Affecting European MTB Brands
I can understand why they might take a hit, but looking at West Australia emergency measures, mountain bike is still perfectly fine as it doesn't have large groups riding together, at most a gathering might be 20 ppl and most trails easily make the 4m per person rule. ppl still ride and commute on bike so shops will still have business from them needing the basics, ie tyres, tubes, maintenance etc, mtbing is only a small part of the HUGE industry that is cycling, if we ALL work together we can keep our locals open.

Pinkbike Poll: What Type of Mountain Bike Racing Are You Most Excited For in 2020?
@azogas413:
define gnar. 2 runs flat out mayte t6 mins max. or riding 40km in a day doing 3 runs down completely different tracks whilst maintaing speed and concentration.
might not have the huge jumps but just as difficult in a different way, and more riders turn up to events and have a go before or after the pros

Video: Kilian Bron and Jérôme Clémentz Explore the Faroe Islands
takes me back to when i was a little kid and living on shetland islands, the closest islands to faroe riding my bmx around in the summer. btw distance between the islands is about 207 miles so not far apart really.
shetland is a great place if you are into vikings and it was a viking colony for a while and a lot of history remains with still visable remains of villages and viking ceremonies that are still conducted each year.
btw the village i lived at was called bigton...all of 12 houses lol but such an awesome place.
