I think the RR stardom was meant inside the EWS circles, as in if a 50 and below placed rider was found dirty, he would have been banned from the sport for longer or something along those lines.

6/25/2019 2:13pm i don't think it's about nationality, being from the US it's probably better for that, but some rider from a big team, with a good public image. if it would have been someone like Florian Nicolai that is probably one of the best riders there, or Kelan Grant, i think there carrear would be pretty much over

I'm willing to give him 1 free pass, and IMO, Richie just used it.. Given his DH history, I'm sure this isn't his first piss test.. Considering the fact that they gave him a reduced sentence, we can call BS all we want, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time... If he gets popped again, I'm thinking his sentence won't be so light and he will have a harder time getting anyone to believe any story.. I'm curious how this would have played out if it was a top French rider....

Just circling back. Reread Graves' post on Pinkbike (in the comments). He 100% takes responsibility for taking a banned substance, though he does so under the veil of "I didn't know". I believe what he's saying, not sure it makes it right, but I believe him. I posted above that Graves is circumstantially admitting its his water bottle. He's saying "I used these substances", Richie and Graves are buddies, etc etc. What are the odds someone else was using the same esoteric substance and handed a bottle to Richie? (if you believe the whole bottle thing) End of the day...

6/25/2019 1:44am from those print screens it doesn't fell like it will be a good one, and this if from the ones who didn't like the joke he made on top of this issue, there will be countless others that didn't publicly speak. i feel that the one he is good friend's with will be fine, but the rest not so much

Why carry the camera, deal with it on race day. It takes away from race focus. They use their gopros to help memorize trail. This year less practice is allowed than ever before. CDC and NAEC are legit races and top pros have done race stage gopro footage. Some do cut course, cheaters will cheat, ain't never gonna change. Tape and rules are to keep the honest honest.

6/24/2019 1:42am i know what you are talking about getting that boost of caughting guys in front , i've done that and yes, it motivates you, but i don't think that's at that level. And that for me is just is stand out performance that is easier to talk about, he was Dominant those 2 series, and then signs with Redbull that...

6/23/2019 4:30pm i do think that before Red Bull he was with a lot more stuff, that overtake on Damien Otton (who was2 in that stage) that he passed like otton was stopped isn't normal, and it was the last season where he dominated. we have seen more than one guy dominate, like Maes, but not that much of a margin and...

Specialized pants on both of them. #teamrumors2020 EDIT: maybe they're just his friend's pants, since, you know, he 'forgot his kit' or something.

6/23/2019 2:16pm i think that he is guilty and that he shouldn't race this soon, but even though i think that he is capable of wining clean on the right day, he will not because he has not raced in 8 months, the other guys are race ready and in the right mind set when he is not. To add to that...

Interesting from the EWS 2018 rule book: "With the interest of keeping enduro mountain biking clean and to avoid the spirit and reputation of enduro mountain bike racing from being brought into disrepute, any cyclist, regardless of cycling discipline, who has previously been found guilty by any court or regulatory body of any use of or involvement with banned, performance enhancing drugs will not be entitled to compete or take part in any Enduro World Series event." However, the next paragraph has an option to appeal in exceptional circumstances and the EWS board can grant an exception. So there was...

And this is what they were on in 2018. In 2015 and 2016 you probably could have had blood bags hanging from your bars in EWS.

6/23/2019 1:12am would be interesting to see what would have happen if the rider caught wasn't someone with a big name like RR or JG, i think the story would have been different

He should be forever known in the history of enduro racing as been a drugs cheat. Doped up the eyeballs and when he got caught he weaselled his way out of it. If I was one of his fellow pros I would be disgusted seeing him back.

Bare in mind these were not “for the camera” just functional proper scrubs. I’m going to have to go with Mitch for the pure violence and Finn for the finesse and precision
