ASO still refusing to admit Astana in TDF
ASO still refusing to admit Astana in TDF (http://www.cyclingnews.com/
news.php?id=news/2008/jun08/jun04news ). It's simply ridiculous that the ASO is refusing to let Astana enter the TDF. The ASO should have put forth a set of condtions for Astana to meet if they wished to enter the TDF. Astana is the dominant spring team now and they deserve to ride in the TDF. |

The spots are all filled. Who would the ASO kick out to make space for Astana, and what excuse would they get? Be realistic. |

I'm not saying I agree with ASO's decisions, but you don't get it. They told Astana they'll let them in after a year with no scandals. It's clear. Astana could sweep the top ten in every race they get into, and that wouldn't help then get into the Tour of France. In fact, it would probably hurt. |

Altho weird, as long as Bruyneel and Contador(true yellow jersey contender but cloudy relationship with Operation Puerto, true or not) are with Astana, ASO isn't going to let them in. ASO doesn't like Bruyneel and the last thing ASO wants is another doping scandal with the yellow jersey. |

Guilt by association has been very destructive to cycling. It's clear to me now that the UCI needs to act now and reasassert it's governing role. |

Oh yeah, this is a different team from last year. I think ASO has made it clear that Astana can establish that it is a different team by not ****ing in anyone's soup. Bob Schwartz |
