Cycling South Africa reports that David George has, as per the provisions in the SAIDS rules (Article 10.5.3 Substantial Assistance in Discovering or Establishing Anti-Doping Rule Violations), made application to SAIDS for a two-month reduction on his two-year sanction.
The Panel has considered the application and has, under the provisions of the SAIDS Rules, determined that a two-month reduction be granted in respect of the sanction imposed. Mr. George’s period of ineligibility has therefore terminated on the 4 September 2014, making him eligible to compete with immediate effect.
Cycling South Africa respects the independence of the SAIDS process and its rules and regulations.
Have a look at the links Ross Tucker posted about the article Iwan put up, very insightful and interesting, seems any PEDs will have long term effects. My own personal opinion is purely that the benefit of cheating still outweighs the drawbacks of being caught. Totally.
