Don't dream it's over. Or perhaps it is.
undergo an altitude research programme
hmmmmm

Team Principal, Sir Dave Brailsford, said: "We have strong monitoring and compliance processes in this team, with the full cooperation of riders and coaches. In our latest monthly review, our experts had questions about Sergio’s out-of-competition control tests at altitude - tests introduced this winter by the anti-doping authorities. We need to understand these readings better. We contacted the relevant authorities - the UCI and CADF – pointed to these readings and asked whether they could give us any insights. We've also taken Sergio out of our race programme whilst we get a better understanding of these profiles and his physiology. We want to do the right thing and we want to be fair. It’s important not to jump to conclusions.”
Fair play.
I have nothing useful to contribute to the thread, but I like the title 🙂
Curious that it's Sky raising the issue and not the UCI. Suspect it's the last we'll see of Heano this season.
Also read today that [url= http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/keisse-wins-100k-euro-settlement-against-uci ]Keisse had won a E100k settlement[/url] from the UCI. Really don't understand this one and suspect there's a better explanation elsewhere. Wonder if it will have a bearing on any future bans that the UCI try to impose on other riders?
On a similar subject, what's the latest on JTL?

Same thought occured to me, but I can't find anything other than he's been scrubbed from the Sky website pending the outcome of a British Cycling hearing at an as yet unnamed date.
Altitude is known to cause physiological changes, which when you live at sea level is all well and good. But if you had a team of Nepalese Sherpas, what is there natural heamocrit level, how does it respond at sea level, etc.
At the moment everyone is guilty until proven innocent, problem is we don't know all the answers as to whether every positive is guilt or something else.
Awe he'll be alright, just tight policy and a good policy at that.
You'd think this would be fairly understood, or at least previously observed, given the number of Colombians riding in the professional ranks.
Didn't Charlie Wegelius have to have a special dispensation for his naturally high heamocrit levels?
