TdF '07 - Here we go... again
From Eurosport... Any riders implicated in last year's Spanish 'Operation Puerto' anti-doping investigation will not be welcome to compete at the Tour de France. "Cycling cannot afford to let riders named in the case enter the Tour if they are not cleared of suspicion," race director Christian Prudhomme told L'Equipe. Linky: http://tinyurl.com/37pdvt I wonder how much cash Disco will have to pay for them to let Ivan ride? -- gplama |

Hmm...If Basso's case was dropped - does that mean he's been 'cleared' of any cheating-type-thing ?? And...If 12 months down the track, and NOONE has 'copped the bust' - how long IS the expected period that they remain 'under suspicion' ?? The doping thing sh1t's me as much as any other. But if I smoke weed, and get 'randomly tested' by workcover, then I'm screwed - no matter how much pastry I throw at them. If this multi-million dollar organisation can't put a line through this crap, and get on with the job - then WHO THE F..K CAN ??!!?? BECAUSE I'M GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF OVERPAID F..KING BUREAUCRATS RUINING MY FUN !!!!!!!!!! Thank CHRIST for Stuey ! ! gm -- gravelmuncher |

"suspicion"and thus ASO moaning will continue from Francais until Prudhomme can organise a local winner of le Tour and as long as "L'Equipe" sells papers to its doting "Publique", (so it can pay its insiders at the Lab in Châtenay-Malabry and secreted in UCI, to "fix" things) -- rooman |

Sorry about the yelling and the potty mouth - I'd just got home from a party, and was a little bit lubricated. *Note to self - no forums after parties...* gm -- gravelmuncher |

I could imagine a challenge in a court to such rules, but we all know how long that would take. |

TdF '07 - Here we go... again
From Eurosport.... (ok, so technically this is Giro talk not TdF) Ivan Basso was suspended by his Discovery Channel team after Italian investigators reopened a doping case against last year's Tour of Italy winner. "It has always been Team policy to hold our riders to the highest standards while respecting their rights and privacy. For these reasons we have requested that Ivan not race until we receive more information and this issue has been resolved," said Discovery's General Manager Bill Stapleton. -- gplama |
