As far as I know his decision to move back was a personal one and has nothing to do with doping. Not going to go into more detail but you can see that much from following his social media.

Never actually tested positive for doping but convicted of having blood taken in 2005 when everyone in cycling was blood doping. No indication he ever took drugs and no infringements in Ironman. Served his ban and been subject to all the testing since including I'm sure Kona this year and the weekend. Are you implying Europeans dope or the fact Austria borders with Germany where all the latest stars are coming from? When are people going to let things go? I'm anti doping but another Weiss or Sutto hate thread do we really need?

Can't speak to the doping threads, but as far as when we should just "let things go" when it comes to people who did what sutto did, maybe you should ask victims how long it affects them for.. (hint: it's the entire rest of their lives)

Sure. Let doping go after a while. People grow, evolve.

Don't ever ever ever just "Let sex crimes go". F###. What fu##### world are you living in you need someone to tell you This?


Damn.

Obviously not in your world...

That's playing word games a little bit. Per the WADA code you get sanctioned for an Anti-Doping Rules Violation (ADRV), not directly from the positive drug test. A positive drug test is just circumstantial evidence of an ADRV. There are plenty of other forms of evidence that are just as strong or stronger than a positive drug test.

No it isn't? He has never tested positive for doping but was convicted based on evidence that someone said he gave blood to be enriched and yes that is punishable by the WADA code.

While it is a beautiful country over here, it bewilders me with what unconditional enthusiasm and national pride some of my countrymen and -women (fans, but also race organizers and the tri federation) celebrate his successes. I guess most people just like to see the home-team win and easily glance over some of the shadows.
I like how some tri-websites (mostly German) have apparently made it a policy that they do report on his victories (he has served his ban after all and is within the rules), but whenever they the do, the article ALWAYS ends with a mention of his murky past.

if you can read this
YOU'RE DRAFTING!

What is the link you perceive between his re-location and likelihood of doping?
It's not clear to me why this changes anything.

maybe based on what happend about 10 years ago

https://voxeurop.eu/...opean-capital-doping

and this funny article
https://www.irishtimes.com/...ing-claims-1.3332925

Sure, Austria has a bad record on doping.
But Weiss is Austrian. Surely there's nothing suspicious about him moving home. Why would you suspect the move had anything to do with doping? I still don't see the justification.
If it was someone from elsewhere moving close to a current, known doping hub for no other apparent reason, there might be a reason to be suspicious. However, it wouldn't have even occurred to me that a guy's decision to move home might be a cause for suspicion. There are surely any number of more likely motivations?

i could not care less what he does ever since he replied so openly on the ask me anything thread ( thats pink as it has to be one of the most pathetic threads on ST)

I don't much care either. I know very little about him and had fact check my last post to be sure he was in fact Austrian before my last post. I like triathlon but I don't follow the pros.
I was simply puzzled as to why this guy's relocation was reason for suspicion. It's the entire point of the thread. I remain puzzled. Another low quality OP. Throw a question in the air with no rationale and see what happens.

Exactly.. Based on that, every American must be doping like Lance Armstrong did..

The humongous flaw in that logic is that Dopestrong never tested pisitive either.

It merely illustrates that dopers are able to avoid testing positive for a whole career.

The humungous flaw is you are selective in what you are reading and not taking my whole post in context that most people who have replied seems to think the same.

i think what the OP implies that since weiss moved back to austria his running has improved ( and a few month ago a pro called weiss out ( i guess the results at 70.3 and kona do not support that claim)

If the poster had other factors in mind but didn't mention them, that's his problem. I'm not going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He either didn't have more to say or couldn't be bothered saying it.

Last I heard you can EPO without an RX in Switzerland.

Well he is a very well known doper so....

And you seem like a reputable source. Sounds legit...

I saw Tyler Hamilton (or was it someone else?) claiming that in the Lance Armstrong Netflix documentary. I don't think that has been the case for a good few years.

He also has gotten leaner in the last 18mo. His cycling hasn't taken a step back either.

Is your point simply to differentiate between violating the anti-doping rules, and actually testing positive? If so, I am not sure that changes the reason for the "interest" in Weiss' return to a location with a strong history of doping.
