In no way trying to defend him. I just going to point out he was never prosecuted. Investigated and brought before a Grand Jury but the investigation was dropped without charges being filed.

Looked like he dropped back to drag Thomas up the last 2 k today.

I don't have an opinion on this so our opinions aren't different...cope with that. It's post like this that make this forum so nice. I forgot why I stopped coming here.

I agree and I am hoping he's trying to peak for the second half of the tour. Stages 11 and 12 are where he can make an impact.

I agree in hindsight he should not have resigned, but....There is a pattern here - they sign these guys to win GTs and expect them to be happy in these mismanaged attempts backing multiple leaders. Lopez, “The atmosphere in Movistar was always very tense,” López told Colombian TV station...

I'm a fan and would love to see him come back to anything close to his peak but.... This just seems so odd that any doctor would not test for bilharzia for anyone complaining about fatigue with his medical history. I don't care if he's a pro athlete or just any random old man like me. As a...

the 2011 Vuelta win was to cover the 2012 Tour win Sky /Brad kept from him:D

So much hate for this one. should have left SKY after 2012 may have won a little less but would have been treated better by fans. Alberto was on the inhaler all the time but he's a god and it never gets mentioned. He clearly loves the sport and riding. Even the monastic lifestyle it...
