Seems it was Gressier that found Makhloufi’s bag...looking for prototype spikes. That’s a bit suspect in and ofitself. Anyway, young Jimmy then reported his findings to the authorities.
Read his statement under the post. For those that don’t speak French, you can choose to have it translated.

Ballz of steel. Need more like him. Would be a cleaner sport.
On the one hand I like that Makhloufi is investigated and am all for clean sport.
On the other hand I like gressier a bit less cause he shouldn’t be going through other people’s stuff and I guess I have a slight instinctive negative reaction towards snitches.
It's a tad weird, but then again you realize they're at a French training centre, which I'm sure feels like a locker room/storage area for French athletes. Should he be rummaging through someone else's bag that isn't his? Probably not, but if I went back to my old college locker room and saw a bag with potentially new spikes or whatever I'd be tempted too. Once you do and see tons of doping paraphernalia you definitely say something. This also makes the theory of him being framed more unlikely. If they were doing that, why not plant substances and why not have someone on the payroll discover it (to lower the possibility of the story falling apart).
Mak daddy is such an obvious doper. Those north Africans (think Morocco Algeria turkey) and all their rampant drug use is egregious. Those people have no moral compass and their government is corrupt.
gressier is probably doping too
Not the Smartest move by Gressier. Just Antioxidants, Contact-Lens Solution and Proteins ?! All it does is that Makhloufi is more carful next time.

Ummmmm, no.
25cc syringes, 10cc syringes, what appears to be infusion tubing, an Eastern European style auto injector, NaCl dilution fluid, and a box of something that is too blurry to read.

More likely he was actually looking to see if Makhloufi had left any doping evidence in his bag. I guess it would be difficult to admit that, because to suspect Big Mac of doping without evidence might be seen as 'racist'.
True hero for the sport, in any case.

Remind me where Turkey lies on a world map, yankee baastard?
“The night I rummaged through the bag was to see if there were any new prototype tips. I read that I was jealous ... that's not it at all. It's just that at one point it shocks me to see so many products. The reactions make me laugh, because in the story it seems that I am the bad guy when the only thing I did that was not correct: it was to have rummaged in a bag that not mine. But when I found out about it, I had to speak out and I'm very proud of it. The reactions mainly come from people of Algerian origin. It is important not to touch the hero of the nation, it seems. [...] I did a good deed, I try to make my sport as clean as possible by clearing all the cheaters - at my humble level. I think it's good to open your mouth and not be afraid to say things. Cheaters should be on their farms or their homes, not on the slopes. It's my point of view. "

So, do you agree with his words?

So he was violating private property. What a hero.
Perhaps Ghost1 can weigh in on this. He has been to the French Training Center, and seems to know quite a lot about Gressier.

Can’t have it both ways. Don’t say you want dopers out and complain when one is outed.
Gressier is a noble man for standing up to cheaters and we need more men like him.
Algerians can eat the truth just like we did with Lance

Lol. Now that's funny. I hope that was a troll. Yeah, Turkey is the evil Islam and all but it is so far removed from Morocco/Algeria its not even funny. If it wasn't for the head scarves many women wear you may think its another European country. Algeria & Morocco not so much.
I just spend a month in turkey. I'm from usa. I was shocked at how westernized and european it felt. Honestly not many women wear hijabs at all. I was in several major cities and some smaller towns too.
I do find the towers screaming the call to prayer incredibly annoying though. Its so ridiculously loud.
Wasn't Hesch outed by someone going through his stuff too?
Looking at the pics supplied by Gressier, I analyzed the accoutrements found in Makhloufi's locker. Though Makhloufi is likely egregious in his doping, none of that is really anything that would be SPECIFICALLY indicative of anything nefarious. It could be easily explained away by legal use. Though, it should be noted that he dilution materials as seen could also just as easily be used to mix with powdered testosterone as well as epoeitin alpha. The same NaCl could be used for the listed ascorbic acid or Mg sulfate. So, without actual drugs/ped’s present, it is non-incriminating. However, syringes used for the test and epo are typically 1cc to 5cc syringes. The syringes seen in the pics are 10-25cc syringes- far too large to utilize for test/recombinant epo. The secretagogue shown is junk. Any protein like that is broken down and rendered useless by stomach acid. It theoretically should stimulate increased growth hormone and igf-1, but has no such effect taken orally because of the reason described. Curious that he would be injecting l-arginine. It’s a theoretic vasodilator, so I suppose he is just anticipating increased blood flow. Many fertility specialists claim it to help with ED because of the aforementioned vasodilation.
I don’t know what the powdered ampules neatly arranged in the white box are, unfortunately. I cannot see a label.
Curiously, he also has 3 types of dilution fluids. I thought I saw infusion tubing previously shown on the news broadcast, but did not see these pics on Gressier’s story. Of course, the auto injector was not highlighted either.

I have always viewed Gressier as annoying and a show off but if he rids this sport of Mak filthy
Not saying this is the case by any means but lets be real..
If this idiot is willing to openly search through his bag what was preventing him from trying to frame him either?
