Kirsty - I noticed that you wore Betty gear in your race this past weekend and the kit for the brand is made by Hincapie Sportswear... owned by confessed doper George Hincapie.

Just fyi


I am not sure Kirsty would even know that fact as I certainly didn't and it would give no indication on their website of that fact. Just as most people don't know that you have been to the Island House triathlon how many times??? There is a difference in knowingly supporting a doper directly and unknowingly supporting a doper indirectly. If you have been in the sport as deep as I am you know doubt know some stories that are not public but are true and can be truly sad.

If there is anything that came from the 2016 election (regardless of political affiliation) is there is a huge difference between what people say they are going to do (exit polls) and what they actually do (votes tallied), maybe because of fear of being bullied. I respect any professional that has the courage to call out doping in public. It isn't a popular choice and often receives blowback. If they don't know before, they will shortly after, and that is it takes tremendous emotional energy to get thru the blowback and that affects workout, recovery, etc.

As for me, I have been outspoken about this publicly over and over again and that is the interference of the lead vehicle in races. It can have a greater effect than doping IMHO and I always bringing it up at pro meetings and sometimes in public. I have been fighting it for years and I have taken abuse. I have never seen Luke bring it up or fight for it, maybe he has but not in my direct presence. I would also state publicly if I ever had a TUE for anything. I wonder if Luke, Beth, and Kirsty would do the same? But most pros aren't this bold as they don't want to rock the boat so I understand if they don't but I am not going to gang up on on someone that does as I already know how much courage it takes to say "screw the *cool* kids, screw the fame, screw the wins and success, screw the money"

Curious why would you make this about Kirsty? Are you affiliated with Wyn in any way or is this just a Beth friends thing? Fwiw, Beth has always been kind and I too want to believe that it was contamination and hope it is. I have said this publicly, I want to know what brand it was. Forget about the lawyers, forget about the settlement, NDAs whatever, and do the right thing for your peers, for humanity. Help them out by shedding light on the product that got you banned. Too many sealed lawsuits have allowed too many shady actors to perpetuate for too long.
