Wow...that probably means that the word is that Basso is guilty, if anyone ever had doubts about it. That could make the 2007 TDF interesting if Basso races, everyone will league agains him and DSC. Although yesterday's decision paves the way for the grand tours to prevent DSC to run if they have Basso in their ranks. Bad news for Ullrich too... |

These are odd kinds of "gentleman" who make "gentlemans agreements" to exclude riders based on hearsay and innuendo after all. |

Please explain this for the simple minded - a team can be excluded if the others get together and decide that one of its riders has cooties? Isn't there a procedure for determining if a rider should be excluded? And doesn't that process involve arbitration hearings and stuff? Ron |

, " wrote: http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/11301.0.html Fat fxck Johan, Thom W, and King Uni-baller are left holding the bag. Bravo! Errr ... No. "A decision made at a special meeting of the International Professional Cycling Teams (IPCT) group on Friday could threaten the future status of the Discovery Channel team." "The group voted to exclude Discovery from its membership over its signing of Italian Ivan Basso, who is implicated in the Operación Puerto inquiry, according to a source that attended the meeting in Brussels. However, the vote does not mean that the American team loses its UCI ProTour license, which enables it to race in all of the ProTour events." What part of ³the vote does not mean that the American team loses its UCI ProTour license, which enables it to race in all of the ProTour events² indicates that they were booted from the ProTour? They were just booted from the Internation Professional Cycling Teams group, which really serves no function whatsoever. -- Steven L.

These are odd kinds of "gentleman" who make "gentlemans agreements" to exclude riders based on hearsay and innuendo after all. A gentleman lives and dies by his reputation. The "I've been ruined!" exclamation seen in bad movies and books not only refers to their finances, but also, primarily, their reputation. If a gentleman can avoid scandal, while schtupping maids, harlots, and strumpets by the score, appear at society and church functions while sparing no effort to destroy his business and personal enemies, and in general successfully conduct their double life in private, that, sir, is a gentleman! A violation of a gentleman's agreement should come as no surprise to anyone. Particularly to the gentlemen who are outraged that they weren't quick enough to violate the agreement themselves. R |
