More suspicious events from British Cycling & UKAD.

Weeks before the London 2012 games a world class cyclist rode away from an anti-doping control officer disappearing out of sight for over an hour.

Thread with more of the same key players involved.

Both the rider in question who rode away and the group of riders in question regarding the nandrolone tests where both high natural occurring levels and contamination were ruled out were part of Shane Sutton's squad of riders.

As Shane's squad under went testing for nandrolone in an unacredited WADA lab against WADA's rules as few as 10 British Cycling staff were aware, including the gang: Brailsford, Sutton, Peters and Freeman.

Close to this time March 2011 Dr Freeman was also ordering another androgenic anabolic steroid testosterone.

Both drugs aim to improve muscle mass, muscle retention, increase rate of recovery and help reduce body fat percentage. Potenten performance enhancing drugs.

This is another alarming case involving British Cycling where UKAD failed to find any wrong doing.

Questions remain over why was the disappearing rider case not followed up?

5/

Furthermore, questions over the efficacy and credibility of UKAD are in question after their involvement with the nandrolone testing due to negligence in keeping documents.

Lack of investigation into Shane Sutton's doping past, where witnesses left uncontacted by UKAD...

Least of all let's not forget the 13 month long Wiggins jiffy bag saga where Triamcinolone the powerful corticosteroid used to strip fat and retain muscle mass was likely used. This ultimately led to no findings of any wrong doing.
