    European Newspaper step in:

    Actually they printed the "he lies" story, only after he had retired. And whenever they see money bills being waved at them, be it german marks, us dollars or british pounds, they begin to drool all over. It's good though, that they build some pressure to UCI, but I don't trust them to be at...

    Rabobank pulls out of pro-cycling

    Stephanie McIlvain - what now ?

    Apparently you don't have a clue how an arbitration procedure develops. If Lance hadn't renounce his right to a procedure,judge and jury wouldn't have been the same as the prosecutor.

    now that's pushing FB's profile photos way too far for the competition:p I reckon that he's OK anyway as long as he smiles like this!
