That's too bad about Genevive Jeanson. I really liked her and was hoping she wasn't boosting, despite her high crit level a few years back (she blamed it on the tent, didn't she?) and now this.

. . . not!

Comparing the Tammy Thomas case to Jeanson is innaccurate, at best. Thomas' case involved steroids, and I don't think it takes a modern Sherlock Holmes to look at her and know SOMETHING is amiss. Jeanson's case involves alleged use of EPO--a substance for which the test accuracy is coming under increasing scrutiny. While I have no great feelings for Jeanson one way or the other, to compare her to a bulked up steroid user is blatantly unfair.

Also, keep in mind that given recent questions about the accuracy of the EPO test, Jeanson's only real "crime" may be her propensity to be difficult. She is definitely not known as Miss Congeniality in the racing community, both for her communications skills --or lack of them--and her extreme will to win that has seen her win races by some rather wide margins, increasing her leads in breakaways that left some with the impression she was "piling on." She has often raced without a team, and has often reminded me of Jeannie Longo, another famously, ah, independent person in the female peloton.

So it seems obvious to me that while the whole judgement process is supposed to be fair, she has little chance of them cutting her a break like they might for someone in the same circumstances who is better loved.

And while she may very well be guilty as H-E-double-hockey-sticks, her "to hell with this sh*t" reaction to professional cycling brings up another issue that we can only speculate about. How many other racers--or potential great racers--have silently said the same thing and gone off to pursue other things because they have seen what happens to people like Scott Monninger? He could prove conclusively that he had not doped intentionally, yet who was STILL banned.

In the present climate of "Accused=Guilty" any professional cyclist who doesn't watch everything they eat, drink or use as a supplement is playing Russian Roulette with the testing system. Those who gain humor at the expense of people like Jeanson are simply thinking exactly what D*ck Pound and the UCI want them to think--namely that anyone who is accused is automatically guilty. Yes, yes, I know Jeanson has been found guilty already--convicted, if you will. But I am really beginning to wonder about the efficacy of this test as well as some others, and how much the campaign to eradicate drugs in the peloton really has to do with drug use vs. making the UCI and WADA look good.

End of self-righteous rant. Whew!

Whether or not the EPO test is accurate I have no idea, but it is the accepted test, so...
I don't think anyone was trying to compare Jenson to Tammy, her pic was posted as a joke, if you will.
With regards to Monninger, well, yes, it is the athletes responsibility to know what goes into your body. It doesn't matter whether he -meant- to dope or not.
And why should they cut Jenson a break?? She tested positive.
Hey, maybe all pro cyclists could just go on strike like baseball and hockey does, until they throw out the EPO test?

I'm a Jeanson fan and think that this is a very sad day for women's racing. Jeanson is a rider in the mold of Longo, relentlessly attacking solo, winning big and humiliating the rest of the peloton. Whether the charges against her are true, I can't say.

Maybe if she wasn't a repeat offender then they would be more considerate. I mean she didn't even show up for one of her tests after a race, and that doesn't happen because "you forgot about it".


And while she may very well be guilty as H-E-double-hockey-sticks, her "to hell with this sh*t" reaction to professional cycling brings up another issue that we can only speculate about. How many other racers--or potential great racers--have silently said the same thing and gone off to pursue other things because they have seen what happens to people like Scott Monninger? He could prove conclusively that he had not doped intentionally, yet who was STILL banned.


He like many others got lazy. Its his job to know what is in the stuff he puts in to his body, if there is a chance its tainted then why risk it? See look you said it here "In the present climate of "Accused=Guilty" any professional cyclist who doesn't watch everything they eat, drink or use as a supplement is playing Russian Roulette with the testing system." If USADA and WADA can't hold people responsible for what they(the athletes) take, then whatcan they do?

Plus "Accused=Guilty" isn't true, Miller is coming back this year.

i'd hate to be thornburn or dotsie c. or someone that has had so many races shaped by a (typically) thought to be doped up jeanson. i'm sure she is a wonderful person (and still so young).. but a lot of folks think this has been a long time coming. seeing her destroy the field at redlands in impossible ways and having friends in the women's peleton livelihood, sponsorship, and entire seasons affected by the actions of a doper really makes me feel pissy towards the idea of her. there are some amazing athletes in women's racing (support women's racing!)... and they have to fight for every tiny scrap of sponsorship or prize money they get.. and.. a women's race is not a field full of dopers. when you look at jeanson (she is so tiny) and see that she is destroying the men's 2 field in most time trials.. you know something is off (this is my logic.. i have no proof .. but two failed dope tests and a missed test to go on).... when she solos away from the field and puts five mminutes into them on the sunset loop ... likeit's nothing... something is up.
now they just need to catch L.G....

*all this is personal opinion and not reporting of facts... i'm just saying... its one thing if everyone is juiced... but when only one or two in the field are doped and the sport is fighting for its own survival. most of those girls only make 2k a year.... anyone that races a bike.. is good for bike racing... women's nrc racing is cool.

Roy . . . I meant the photo . . . I think it’s pretty transparent that the photo of Thomas was posted here because her appearance is so ridiculous. She obviously does not look like a female with a natural hormone balance. The implied comparison was obvious. Jeanson, on the other hand, certainly doesn’t look physically unusual. I think Inomalley has a better point. If anything, her appearance is tiny, yet she does routinely beat even the men. so her appearance vs. her performance might indeed be an implication, but in the opposite direction.

Hysbrian . . . Millar freely admitted his guilt. To me that’s different from an athlete who vigorously denies their guilt. If anything, athletes who try to defend themselves are dealt with even more harshly in this system than those who we KNOW are guilty because they admitted it. But you also have an excellent point about her not bothering to show up for a test. In this day and age, “I forgot” is a very poor defense. Or did she have some other excuse?

And lastly, no matter what I think about her guilt vs. innocence, I’m with fiamme red--there’s something undeniably entertaining from watching a nnoconformist who is so good she doesn’t need a team. But it also means she has few friends to help her out in this situation, where politics DOES count, just as it does everywhere else.

I've made that point before. If the UCI wants riders to organize and make things REALLY complicated, I can't think of a better way to do it than the way they have been recently. To me, it's only a matter of time before some opportunistic sports agent or lawyer is going to see the $$$ possiblities and begin organizing efforts, and then "le merde" is really going to hit "le spokes."

That's a pretty all-encompassing statement. I'm also intrigued by your portrayal of Millar as a "pretty boy." What exactly makes someone a "pretty boy?"

To me, the important element here is that he knuckled under, did not try to defend himself, and therefore will be allowed back on the road. Jeanson attempts to defend herself, and is set to be banned for life. I think it would be very interesting to do a statistical study comparing the efforts made by riders to defend themselves in these circumstances vs. the severety of the punishments they ended up receiving.

As for the posting of the Thomas photo, it was all about making fun of her appearance, as Shino's honest reaction clearly demonstrated. Why post the photo of Thomas in a thread about Jeanson at all except to imply a comparison?

because they're liars and their livleyhood depends on their lies. plus, there aren't any examples of anyone changing their stripes on their own with only one or two examples. both friends of the jerk who have been ridiculed on this board for doing so. plus any admission of guilt is treated as a positive blood test by the uci and wada.

alot of things. he didn't have the spine to stand up to the police and he doesn't work hard enough and he's still good enough and he doped anyway.

I think a fundemental difference between Millar and Jeanson is that

Jeanson tested positive twice and missed a test.

The EPO tests suck. They are inaccurate and unreliable. They yield very different results on the same sample pretty much every test. That is why I sympathize with those who are suspended. The only real way to catch people is with admissions or with the goods, like Millar. Yes, he is obviously a mental weakling. If he had been smart, he would have denied the whole thing and told the French police to go eat feces. Why couldn't he stand up to some interrogation?

nice people dope. jackasses dope. happy people dope. sad people dope. people dope. there isn't a type.

I didn't mean she was nice so she didn't dope. I meant she was nice, as compared to what people said about her coach. She may have been dominant on the road, but she was nice off it, or at least during the minute or two she spoke to me.

This is a subject I hate. It takes outstanding performance and implies cheating. For the most part I would rather coach riders who have more to gain from leaning how to ride than from taking EPO, but once in a while I work with a top rider and I always have to ask what they're racing against. In the case of Aimee Vassee the big question in '04 was if Genevive Jeanson was going to show up at Mt Washington . I'm always quick to point out that lots of riders dope because there's just so much money on the line. So, with $1500 on the line for the women's race I helped start the rumor that there would be drug testing at the top.

I hate the idea that every great athlete is on something, I hate the idea that the podium is now seen as the dopers showcase. The only thing I hate more is riders who give 110% effort and dedicate their lives to the sport only to get beaten by riders who take shortcuts (I'm talking drugs, not the small cyclocross racer from the northeast with the initials PC). If the controls get the message across that drug use woun't be tolorated, this will have served a purpose. Somehow I think it's just going to end a lot of careers and the trend will continue...
