Israel - Premier Tech to be target of pro-Palestine protests at Giro d'Italia and Tour de France
CyclingWednesday, 10 April 2024 at 07:00
Pro-Palestine activists have called for Israel - Premier Tech to be confronted by more protests than ever at both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France this year, in light of Israel's ongoing invasion of Gaza.
In a post on the official Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) site on Monday, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel wrote: "We call for more protests than ever along the race routes of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, which will start from Italy this year."
The organisation refers to Israel - Premier Tech as being "Israeli government-sponsored", stating that the outfit serves to "sportswash" what it calls a "75-year-long regime of military occupation and apartheid."
Israel - Premier Tech is not directly connected to the country's government, but the squad has a strong association with Israel through its co-owners, Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams and Israeli businessman Ron Baron.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
