Well, i believe, that for many people here, you are the last person they take seriously about Kreuziger (and Rujano) :D

yeah lol, Ryo. That alone is not excuse, because he was on antibiotics and performed well on TdR. That's just a sign, that there could be "some medical problem underneath", as hrotha said.

He had to use antibiotics during Tour de Romandie, so... Martinelli on Saturday 5 May 2012: How is Kreuziger? "Better than last year, for sure. We have prepared him gradually for the Giro... I think that Roman, who will miss the Tour and focus on Vuelta and the World Championships, could...

What team have won last UCI Road World Championships or Olympic Games? Cycling is only seemingly a team sport. The most important is GC of riders, also KOM and points classification is valuable and watched, while almost nobody cares about team classification (yes, there is prize money for teams...

They certainly had doping program, but now with lack of money...I wouldn't be so sure about that. Btw. I believe if some of North Korean players were tested positive, FIFA wouldn't be bothered at all ;) It's not about belief ;) It's about evidence, testimonies, facts... Btw. you said: "I...

Question was "far less or more" ;) Actually there are not less tests in football. Of course, it has much more professional players, so you can't test everyone every month, but top players/teams are tested regularly (and still no evidence of systematic doping, unlike cycling) and will be much...

How about they were clean? Is it too simple? :D None have came out positive at WC since 1994 (Maradona) - different countries, continents... they are all doped, but nothing comes out. Seems like Blatter is more powerful than Mossad, CIA and FSB combined together... How much exactly is "Far...

I hope for too, but I'm afraid, Andy will ride with AC their own league. ;)

I don't think it's the same. And it was battle to the last ITT mainly due to this fact. For instance - Andy looked like he could easily climb with Sastre to Alpe d'Huez, but he had to stay with Frank.. etc. As for short ITT - bit exaggerated, i think;) I would like to see improvement in long...

Probably not much, as he was 3 years old at the time of revolution :) But that was not the point. What i meant to say - it took a long time to his father to get rich, so he grew up like a normal boy, not like a son of millionaire. And I dont think that the current (relative) wealth of his...

Nope. The GAP was already there in 2008. Only Andy had to ride for Sastre and Frank, not for himself.

Eh, that was about RK ;)

13th in 2008 x 9th in 2009 despite much stronger field and gastric flu during 2nd week. Maybe small, but this IS progress. If you read correctly, at least ttrider is - "...he will never win or even top without considerable luck, he simply hasnt got the class"

I dont think so, he wasn't BORN INTO a rich family (1986 - it was still under Communism), so he is not spoiled brat. Actually he is very motivated, determined and single-minded.

That is true. As Mrs John Murphy said, his dad went into business (initially gas stations, then real estate, for instance http://www.hotelrankl.cz/en/) after his career and did well
