Posthumous doping accusations

In 2007, at a forum on the legal issues of testing for performance-enhancing drugs, Greg LeMond told a story about a former teammate who had left his team at the time, Gan, in favor of an Italian team that would provide access to doping products. Although LeMond did not mention Casado by name, the events describe Casado perfectly. LeMond suggested that Casado's death was the reason he retired from cycling.[1]

gollark: Now, yes, you can say "but programmers should just be perfect all the time and not make mistakes", but that is very stupid because people make mistakes and good tools make those more obvious/make it harder to.

gollark: C's lack of safety got us Heartbleed, quite notably, and a ridiculously large amount of other bugs.

gollark: C has its place, but its place really should be much smaller.

gollark: C bad for many tasks

gollark: Did you know that the "wish for infinite genies" thing was actually thought up and spread by genies so they could escape their imprisonment?
