Also this "cut off number" for OFF score is complete sophistry, the allowable limits are individually tailored and change depending on the time of year, claiming there is an arbitrary objective limit is either a deliberate attempt at obfuscation or whoever wrote the piece doesn't understand what was written. Either option is troublesome.
I started watching cycling in the 80's when my compatriot Robert Millar was competing , so we're the seeing the usual attempt of trying to provide no checkable facts. However some statements have been made that have been contradicted with varying degrees of authority.
From the time after completing the race to the temperature on the day. Also the statement that none of the values were taken around a good performance by her has also been shown to demonstrably false.
The continual smearing against Dr Ashenden is particularly calumniating. The guy is a dedicated anti-doping Expert, helped create the EPO test, headed up the team that created the test to enable bloodbag usage detection. helped create the whole Passport system. Called Armstrong out about his samples with EPO from 1999. When the UCI were trying to be more cloak and dagger he just quit and explained why instead of just staying quiet and getting his money. So calling him a "so called expert" or trying to insinuate he won't be able to understand the data is frankly laughable for anyone who knows about him. Thank god cycling has him i say!
I understand how a lot of folk feel, pretty heart-breaking to find out your sport is not what it seems. Or have the main person saying things like "i almost died of cancer, there is no way i would take anything that could jeopardise my health" It's unbelievable that someone would have the gall to say such things untruthfully. However elite athletes are extreme personalities hyper competitors.
It's coming out , it's just a case of waiting, Coe is in charge atm and trying to smear the Doctors with insinuation, he won't be in power for ever though.
This is a depressingly familiar scene for all cycling fans.
