3/11/2019 12:26am Sponsors can elect to suspend sponsorship. Has happened to track and field athletes such as Tyson Gay who failed drug tests. Companies have some responsibility in cleaning up the sport (and not supporting drug cheats) IMO. No, the photo with Graves is definitely not Ryno Power. The supplement is on page 5 of this thread and it's called "Alphamine" by...

3/10/2019 11:20pm 1. - Taking not one but TWO banned substances really starts to stretch the plausibility of 'accidental ingestion'. - RR and JG are sponsored by Ryno Power, who stake their whole business on supplying supplements to elite athletes who get regularly drug tested. Clearly, the Ryno Power supplements weren't tainted. Why were these guys taking other supplements containing the banned...

you know that rude in fact won that race, even if it gives little diference in performance it will be something none the less, so an advantage. when you are on the top of the sport you don't have big diferences, so some marginal gain will help a lot. Even though it isn't a big dopping scandal as some in road or xc, it is still something. and as it was the first on this sport it should care some kind of example

3/9/2019 7:30am EWS changes from ‘that other website’: “Anti-Doping and CADF Following the start of the UCI and EWS partnership in January 2019, we are a registered partner of the Cycling Anti-Doping foundation.

It's all mind-blowing, but that very last train with Brendog, Andreu, and Silva is just one for the history books. Looking back at what it has taken to get the sport to this level...the individual and collective progression of riding and building is beyond belief.

carll Added a comment about feature Prize Purse Strings: Drawn Too Tight?
2/25/2019 12:44am
Tracks are getting faster and more dangerous by the year and these guys and girls definitely deserve better salaries. That said, no one is living off prize money alone. It's a nice bonus but the real money is made in sponsorship and endorsement deals, which placing well in races provides access to. Bike companies and major sponsors (RB etc) should be paying their athletes more. Listening to the Rennie podcast on here a few months back, it was disappointing to hear how little the Aussies were paid to ride in the early to mid 2000s. Perhaps if the pro riders...

2/23/2019 12:15am While Josh has quite the Instagram following and has carved out his niche with his fun loving, jibbing thing, I seriously doubt that this will translate into sales of their DH bike. Like it or not, star power and results sell DH bikes. One only has to look to the success of YT's signing of Gwin or Commencal with Pierron...

2/17/2019 5:34am Completely agree. Surprised that there hasn't been more of a backlash from sponsors, most of the media (Pinkbike basically gave the guys a free pass) and the MTB community at large. Will be very interesting to see what punishments (if any) are dished out. I share your cynicism and will be not surprised if it's just a slap on the...

It has... Rude still on Red Bull and all his other sponsors still on board...What bull sh!t is that!! Graves, everyone is on the recovery trip and wont call him out for fear of being branded as satan! I am pretty saddened by the mountain bike community. It appears that top level riders are now bigger than the sport. I cant see the EWS taking this further, which is weak as f@ck! So on the basis that drug taking is acceptable, lets all get on the programme!

Sorry, but you do realise that both of them have admitted to doping. Forget the bull sh!t they are pedalling about it being a mistake. They failed the drug test! No sponsor should or can stand by them as it sends the wrong message. What is 2020's... support them through their problems! BULL SH!T! I feel sorry of the boys that didn't cheat. They missed out on the podium, the bonus' etc. I ain't got time for those two... fake kings of the sport!
