If USADA is the governing body that banned Lance for life, are they also the body that could remove his ban? Interesting article in Colorado Springs newspaper about Lance and Tygart (the head of the USADA). Sounds like they have buried the hatchet and are now buddies. Favorite quote in the...

Re: Re: It is a legitimate question. In the US, it appears that the USADA is responsible for implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) in the United States. For example, reading the USADA annual report from 2016, it appears that testing at the Tour of California was implemented by...

I have a question for someone a little more knowledgeable about the sport than I am. Who is the body that is responsible for drug testing at the Grand Tour's. For example, at this years Vuelta ... is it the UCI that does the testing? ASO? or the Spanish anti-doping group. Is it just one...

You could tell something was up at the TDF. Furthermore, it appears he completely shut the season down after that race. I suspect this was a decision that was made a while back. Good luck to him.

Re: Re: They have to find something to fill the void ... often times its drugs and womanizing ... that's what happened to me

Let's hope today was TJ's "post rest day" bonk. He needs to remember he is only 2:15 off the podium with the TT still coming.

Does anyone know if Slipstream Sports publishes their financials? or are we just to assume that they will spend this black box of cash in the most efficient and prudent way. (Maybe a big raise would be in order for the individual that thought up this scheme?) My prediction is they don't raise...

Yep, another good day for TJ, especially after what happened yesterday.

He did a good job getting back up and limiting his losses. Still being 4th in GC after crashing twice is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, can't imagine how this isn't going to significantly hurt him over the next few days.

Great ride by TJ today ... one day at a time.

I don't know if it was true at this years Giro, but usually that bad day comes immediately after one of the rest days. At least that has been his history at the TDF. Really strange.

Re: Re: TJ needs to channel all this hate in order to release his inner Lance. :razz: In all seriousness, I would prefer him to go to a team Sky rather than Cannondale. There seems to be a "sense of urgency" to Sky which I think would benefit TJ.

Re: Re: I think you misinterpreted my point. I am well aware he wouldn't be going to Sky as a leader (it doesn't appear he has options to go anywhere as a leader yet alone Sky). TJ has made a lot of money over the past few years and I doubt he aspires to be a domestic at Sky. IMO if he...

Wow, I did not realize that Sky was in the conversation as a possible landing spot. Not sure how I feel about that. It strikes me as less of a night's watch thing and more of defection to the White Walkers. Could you imagine the meltdown on this board if TJ were to go to Sky and resurrect...
