Maybe Sam Laidlow is simply a bad communicator. Doesn’t he realize that his statement on Twitter simply sounds like. I can’t got to PTO Europe. I tested positive with my A sample. In the middle of testing B sample. B sample should be fine (hopefully), should be back for Lanzarote.
I’m not saying that this is the case, but he needs to communicate better.
He brought the hatters on himself (if he did not test positive).
“Unfortunately I won’t be taking part in the PTO European Tour in Ibiza. I’ve got some personal issues to take care of and I’m also in the middle of moving house and a lot of things going on and it’s probably a bit too much. The season is very long and I want to make sure I deliver in Nice at the end of the year. I’m really, really sorry to any fans who were looking forward to that battle. All the best to the athletes there and I also hope that it’s an opportunity for someone who is further down the rankings to have an amazing race in Ibiza. See you in Ironman Lanzarote.”
