He has blood withdrawals scheduled for this weekend and racing will risk his passport profile too much. The blood must be withdrawn on Sunday in order for it to be available for reinfusion on the second rest day of the Giro. So, if he races, he runs the risk of screwing up the schedule and...

I watched the coverage after reading the CN live coverage and saw when Cancellara lost the race. He was closing the gap to the front group and was about 40 seconds down when he started asking Ballan, Hushov, and Flecha to help. Then he sat up to whine about them not working and the gap went up...

Contador's possible suspension... Based on the Valv.Piti decision, my thinking is that because Clentador resumed racing and is currently participating in races, any suspension doled out by CAS would start on the date of the decision. Following this line, if they decide on June 30th and give...

Should the case be appealed ? Yes Who do you think will appeal to cas ? Both Will you accept rfec’s verdict if cas supports it ? It is not my role to accept or reject the verdict. Will you put behind this case if contador’s acquitted by cas I have nothing to put behind me, it is...

On this Python, you and I are in complete agreement. 1 year is a compromise by RFEC to not be too hard on Contador (I expect them to find a way to get him back on the road before the Vuelta starts) but still punish him to satisfy the UCI.

There is a big problem for AC in doing what you suggest... If he admits to organized doping with those guys, he is confessing to a second doping offense and he gets a lifetime ban. Landis was a has been with no chance at returning to the upper echelon of cycling when he used the nuclear...

I seem to remember a 2 year ban for a guy named Ivan Basso. I also just read an article on the front page of Cyclingnews.com about Jan Ullrich where it says he has been essentially banned from the sport after his DNA was linked to OP blood bags. So, to say he was the "noly Puertee to serve...

I agree, especially in light of the new article suggesting that Novitzky isn't going after individual riders but after the distribution ring. Could LA miss out on charges and only the distributors (not the users) go to jail? Of course I will be called a fanboy for saying this. I just...

Unfortunately for the prosecutors, they don't get to have a preponderance fo evidence as their standard. They have to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury. If there is one juror that doesn't belive it rises to beyond a reasonable doubt, their case is toast.

Listening to some of these posts makes me think that LA will soon don a silver suit, shave his head and get a hairless cat as a pet... Soon we will hear about sharks with laser beams or something in his plan to take over the world!!!

I was thinking of a number of people on the forum who clearly seem tho think they know more about cycling, doping, and running an organization than Pat.

Putting your guys on a beef diet in Tenerife will have them dropping weight and building lean muscle. It works wonders:D

Thanks Hitch and the others who posted on my comment. I appreciate positive feedback on this site!

Floyd should go back to college, get an education and get a job, like the rest of us schmucks that got too old to race.

Interestingly, there was a point in the new CN article about methylhexanamie and the costa brothers getting trapped by a supplement. at the bottom talking about Actovegin, it had the following statement: So, if you only do 150 mL transfusions of your own blood, and then do refills with...
