Hmmm. My mistake, I thought there were more points reaching further down. Well, then you are right, it's incomprehensible. Cadel is just getting ornery.

I'm guessing Cadel is more motivated by Pro Tour points for the team than by the Giro points competition. Let's not forget he's getting on in years and these days riders are worth the points they earn. If he wants to continue making the big bucks he needs to bring in the points for the team and...

The Austin American Statesman reports that he may be worth as "little" as $60m, rather than the $250m often cited. The value of the whistleblower suit alone could bankrupt him entirely if so. http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/armstrong-sells-austin-home/nXJPb/ I think he is trying to...

Cipollini's magical season of 2002 involved reinfusions of blood prior to his major victories according to Operacion Puerto documents analyzed by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The highlights: Cipo reinfused blood 3 days before his Milan-San Remo victory Cipo reinfused blood 4 days before his...

Simple: Ekimov spat on Simeoni. He is a well-known doping omerta enforcer, a criminal who enforces mandatory doping and expels clean cyclists from the sport. The UCI can't have this guy heading a cycling team. If Ekimov withdraws, I would be willing to bet Katusha gets its license. The UCI...

I have zero doubt this is going on. Zero. Lance is a professional criminal (con-man/grifter) and I would be willing to bet he is frantically shipping his assets to fiscal paradises and hiding them behind shell companies. He has known right from the beginning that he was engaged in a large-scale...

With the elimination of Johan Bruyneel I would say that Astana is the single team that gives cycling the worst image. Vinokourov's blood doping is not good. But beyond his suspension, he is everywhere in the Padua investigation papers, as is the entire team. Let's not forget he has not...

I think that when the Padua investigation results come out, Astana's position in the World Tour will become untenable. Preliminary reports suggest that these results will show Astana engaged in full-team cooperation with the Michele Ferrari organization. Team salaries were paid into accounts...

Enough with this. Contracts fraudulently entered into have no legal force. Those nondisclosure agreements have no force of law. May as well be toilet paper.

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate your honesty. I don't know if it will be raised, but it seems to me to go to the critique of USADA's procedure that we are hearing all over the place, "the riders got a sweetheart deal to keep their results if they informed" etc. I don't buy it, I think...

JV, Given that you have admitted to riding doped most of your career, why is it that your career results have been allowed to stand? Do you think this is just? Doesn't it make a mockery of doping enforcement? I mean, this isn't to knock your current efforts to reform the sport, nor...

Pat and Hein were taken on a private spaceship to Planet Lance. On Planet Lance, liars sue truth-tellers for libel, and win, over and over and over again. Liars always get away with lying, and those who tell the truth repeatedly lose libel and defamation suits or are forced to settle. On...

Actually, Freire's statement looks to have been created by the same public relations firm. "I don't think I've done anything I'll be caught for." http://www.abc.es/20121029/deportes/abci-freire-entrevista-201210291335.html Freire's statement was actually portrayed by some as an "antidoping"...

Plenty of hard evidence that Verbruggen knew Armstrong was doping. Plenty of hard evidence that when Verbruggen called Andreu et al. liars, Verbruggen knew he was committing criminal libel. And if you think the USADA decision was speculation and hearsay, I can only say "I'm sorry. Sorry you...

Hahahaha! Where does it say he's suing the UCI? He's suing McQuaid and Verbruggen personally. That means they can't use UCI funds to defend themselves, they have to use their own money.
