    Playing God: Eufemiano Fuentes

    With a little google translate help we find that it says' Here are the cards that accuse Cipollini', with a little pic of the notepaper listing the PEDs. It then says it exclusively reveals what Spanish doctor Fuentes prescribed the cyclist in his 'magical' 2002 : EPO, blood doping and hormones.

    Nicole Cooke attacks drug cheats in the womens peloton

    How many doctors do you think there are able to advise a champion cyclist with dodgy knees how to regain champion status ? In fact, let's contemplate that a bit further. Every cyclist I've ever known who's gone to their GP with a problem that is caused or exacerbated by cycling is instantly...

    Wonderboy: The Movie

    Surely Richard Wilson, aka Victor Meldrew, as Liggett. He already knows his lines. I don't belieeeve it!

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    No. Just more bad timing. He was never likely to be renewed at Sky after 2 years of far too many injuries and no serious results. The rumour was always that he'd be off to BMC. Movistar is a surprise for sure, but can you really think he organised a new team contract in a week or 2? This must...

    Omerta Beginnings in EPO Era

    It's not like Omerta began with the EPO era. The drugs and the silence have been widespread since the beginning of cycling. There have been very few riders who could moan they were being beaten whilst being completely clean themselves. The retirees of 1990ish were hardly likely to kick up a fuss...

    Wonderboy: The Movie

    Surely Brian Cox has to play Fat Pat Max von Sydow to play Verbruggen

    Just read Joe Papp's twitter feed to get the name.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Well, if this article is well-informed, all the riders have been interviewed and passed. So Rogers' past didn't catch up with him. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/9638457/Sean-Yates-fate-proves-Team-Sky-will-show-no-mercy-in-doping-cull.html

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    I wonder what the terms of his leaving are. The paper suggests he left before he was pushed. Previous reports say this means he could leave with his contract paid off. Is he allowed to work elsewhere during that contract period. Because I can imagine he'll have no trouble getting another DS job...

    Sunday Telegraph is reporting Yates is gone from Sky. https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/262300753681592320/photo/1/large

    Armstrong's financial situation

    Yes, whether he won those Tours is going to come down to a definition of the word 'official'. Here's the contract http://d3epuodzu3wuis.cloudfront.net/C001.pdf I know one thing. The only winners will be the lawyers.

    Wiggins, a man in love!

    Well, the British press has recovered from its summer cycling love-in and is back to doing what it does best: knocking down those it built up. The Mail is generally anti-cycling anyway, so I imagine it didn't take too much hubris from Wiggins to set them off digging for dirt. And they found...

    Exactly. Even Patrick Jane couldn't find the Red John mole within the CBI.

    Roger Hammond. Better check when the next UCI DS course starts.

    Money Laundering & Doping In Italy. Armstrong, Menchov named

    Surely it's Moreno's older brother, Leonardo Moser, then? Pro from 2005 to 2009.
