    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Well... if I was Mark Cavendish I'd be laughing. There's no point signing if he doesn't want to stay there, so they have to let him go. I'd love for someone to make a meaningful stand against this nonsense, I just can't see anyone doing this for a good reason though. Yates to retire quietly...

    Who are the 'Riders' in the documents?

    If Rider 4 is Julich though, it will only be when referred to in relation to doping activity. Julich is named in other affidavits, but these statements are not implicating any wrongdoing.

    Who are the 'Riders' in the documents?

    Payments from Rubiera were on the Health & Performance statements.

    Jack Robertson Exhibit A (Appendix A) is almost as entertaining as Exhibit B. If only Ferrari's son wasn't such a suck up, but the parts where he clearly acts as a conduit are interesting enough. There are a few fun parts at the end, but not really relevant to Lance. Page 61 talks about...

    He was quoting random rubbish from one of Lance's lawyers on BBC Radio about three hours ago, I bet he gets paid quite a lot to spout that nonsense. He started a rant about how Tyler and Floyd were tarnished, bitter, blah blah blah, etc., then someone else either in the studio or the phone...

    It's getting late, but I can guess it's to do with lack of corroboration. Hincapie is the only one who mentions Rider 4 with relation to EPO. JV mentions Julich, but not with reference to drugs. Considering the amount of individual redaction IDs, it's far too late for me to combine all the...

    I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but if anyone fancies a quick getaway before it starts getting too cold: Hotel Fontanals Golf €100 a night, including breakfast, a round of golf, and all the privacy you could ever hope for.

    Jack Robertson, Exhibit B in Appendix A has a lot of scans of statements. According to page 105 this is where the Vino evidence should be, possibly even Kashechkin and others. It's also on page 105 they talk about all of the clients attending the summer camp. I don't know why, but I imagine a...

    Page 107 is a nice one. I'm only just on the appendices now, but it would be nice to see the full list of transactions to Health & Performance, especially the ones from Vino. Looking at some websites, looks like the company is now dissolved.

    USADA's Reasoned Decision 202 pages

    Page 159 to 163 is teeming with frustration at the UCI. Looking at the UCI correspondence, especially Pat's letters from the 3rd and 17th September (Appendix D, bottom 2 documents) it's not hard to see why. If I received this kind of thing at work, I'd take a long hard walk and maybe kick a...

    USADA's Reasoned Decision 202 pages

    Pages 111 to 114 makes for some sombre reading. For anyone who has ever been exposed to peer pressure, it is a scenario which is all too familiar. But with that background? You'd think a good manager would know the story. If Zabriskie's story is true, to be led on for a few years then be...
