Wonder why TdeF are doing so many night tests, must suspect something odd and widespread
Armstrong unhappy about it, as of course he would be 💉💉💉
Jonathan Vaughters, the manager of EF Education–EasyPost, applauded the tests, saying it would have “saved the sport 25 years of drama” had it been done during his era.
Vaughters, who rode with Armstrong on the US Postal team in 1999, the first of Armstrong’s record seven Tour wins, of which he was subsequently stripped for doping, said it was a “very effective” way of catching cheats.
“I don’t post here much,” Vaughters wrote on X on Monday night. “But I’ll roll this grenade down the aisle: 2am testing is one of the very effective ways to prevent peptides [EPO, hGH – Human Growth Hormone] and testosterone micro dosing.”
“If [the] UCI had tested us in 2001 at 2am? We’d all have been suspended and saved the sport 25 years of drama.
“It’s unfortunate that Tadej and Jonas have to atone for the sh*t we did. However, I’d take some lost sleep for some gained credibility. I should apologise to both of them, honestly.”
