Here's a fact for you. Naming sources isn't a good way of keeping sources.

Orbea confirms their 2019 EWS squad:

A Big Welcome to a New Orbea Enduro Team The Orbea Enduro Team project started out in January 2018. It was our return to the Enduro World Series following the Orbea Enduro Crew.

This goes along with our nature that just won’t let us settle for second best, that makes us always strive for improvement and evolve in everything we do. It’s a part of our day to day and our philosophy at all levels. As...

Well reading all the posts I struggle to grasp where @jeff.brines is being emotional and defends RR and JG. To me (overall) he's just saying "wait until the hearing and let the riders have a chance to defend themselves in front of the institutions" On the contrary I feel that people asking already for strong punishment or calling them cheaters are the ones getting all worked up and emotional. So to get things as straight as I can, we only know ONE thing: Graves an Rude both tested positive to Higenamine & Oxilofrine at the Olargues round of EWS 2018...

Good post...and good point in bringing up the fact Richie won that race. I think one thing I keep failing to articulate is the fact I *do* believe sanctions should be imposed. I just don't think it'd be fair to ruin either one of these guys as a result of something like this - for all the reasons I've pointed out. So yeah, we should add, "taking that EWS win away from Richie" to the list of things imposed. I know, doesn't mean much now, but it should still be the case as you are right, we can't be sure...

Huh? Stars? Nothing matters? How is that at all analogous to me suggesting performance enhancing drugs are more varied in their nature than you are suggesting. Again, you keep saying the EWS rules are clear. They aren't. http://www.enduroworldseries.com/ews-general/ews-rule-book/#_Toc5075851… Outside of the race in France (which was tested under the French anti-doping policy) there isn't consistent structured PED testing at the EWS carried out to one specific protocol. Its not clear if they'll test in competition? Out of competition? Just the top riders? Random riders? What list is being tested against? How do you submit for a TUE? Where can an...

Hilarious all the 'outrage' expressed by some of the people commenting. In their head they're probably picturing Jared and Richie getting out their blood bags at every liaison and shooting up with Super Soldier Serum before the start of every stage.

Please explain then, why caffeine is allowed? It has been shown to improve performance and is a drug... How about a supplement such as magnesium. Again, proven to improve performance, and in this case is a "supplement". There are hundreds of compounds that could be considered "performance enhancing". Some have been allowed and will continue to be allowed. Some were allowed, now are not allowed. Some were never allowed. Its not as straight forward as you are making it out to be. Again, you keep arguing why I shouldn't rationalize my take all the while doing very little to rationalize...

Please articulate this one... First off, I'm not saying the testing wasn't real, I'm saying supplements such as these fall more in a grey area than EPO. EG - I could order them online right now, or go to a health food store and likely find something with them in it - and buy it without a license or a doctor on US soil. Sorry, but that's not the same as a pharmaceutical. Second, I'm suggesting doping is very vaguely defined in enduro. The EWS itself has only a few hundred words in the rule book (at the end) on...

Lot of mixed feelings on this one. On one hand I've been around competitive cycling, in just about every discipline, for most of my life (20 years?). Doping and cycling have been synonymous since I can remember. Like others in this thread (and on Pinkbike) I also want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but struggle to do so, as I was probably the biggest "lance is clean" guy going...and was made to look a fool. (this happened other times too) I also find it a bit unnerving and a bummer to see that photo of Graves taking...

So much talking, but so little proof to back it up. Honestly, the fact that Stikman says ”Charlie and John hanging is an interesting rumour” gives the rumour more weight that the rumour itself. Or he is trolling us all and enjoys his popcorn right now...

I would personally like to see Intense Factory Racing as it is, as they are probably the most fun bunch out there. I don't know how relevant this is, but I have seen them at the track walk at the Worlds and nobody else was louder than them, cracking jokes all the time...

Rumor in Slovenia is, that Vid Persak is finally getting some-kind off-factory support... waiting to get this officialy and what bike brand he will be on in this season... Im stoked for him no matter what will he get out off this! And hopeing, that Monika will get some factory support too for this season - she deserve it!
