Looks like each placing in any past UCI event will now need to be edited to include an asterisk with the qualification "still pending CAS review." Maybe the time has also come to end the ritual of assigning an order to racers based upon something as inconclusive as finish time and go right to the legal proceedings. DR |

They give Poulidor fans hope that he will yet get the all time record for the 8 or so TdF victories that he deserves. But it gets complicated, I'm not sure how we factor in virtual wins by those who did not compete in any given year. DR |

F In horse race betting, there is a 'first past the post" option, so no matter what infractions happened, the finishing order remains the same. Maybe we should do the same in bike racing. Phil H |

Better lawyers, pr flaks, chemists, etc... My great fear is that, upon suspicion alone (and disregarding any issues of jurisdiction), they will even posthumously revoke the _name_ of "Mile-a-Minute-Murphy." DR |
