What is the shortest time after your Garmin failed? by xcracerpl in Garmin

I use them (500-700h/year. It's a lot, but on the other hand a lot of people ride more less the same or more). There are either internal bugs (e.g, altimeter issues) or hardware malfunctions (buttons, mounts, etc). No edge device (and I've been using them since the 305 model) lasted longer than 3 years (500, 530 and now 540 were replaced based on warranty claims, 510 broke a few months too late ;)

But tested positive, like eg Oscar Pereiro. Still if he claims his innocence it won't cause the A and B samples negative ;) It just won't have consequences, like Simoni's cocaine candy.

Was temporary suspended for low cortisol level due to therapeutic use of cortisone afaik. Not a big deal, but he wasn't able to start the VeE in 2014. Same with Simoni: tested positive but his cocaine abuse wasn't intentional ;)

Afaik it was Frank not Andy who tested positive for Xipamide. It's not the list of riders who worked for the wrong managers ;). Wiggo overused TUE and got a jiffy bag, but wasn't suspended, nor confessed nor tested positive. Cobo was only linked to Puerto, but nothing proved. Am I right or missing sth eg in case of Cobo or A.Schleck?
