It’s like with Alberto [Contador], they say AC is Alberto Contador. [Prosecutors cleared Contador of involvement in the case. –Ed.] In the end, it’s definitely not my problem.”
"We (me & AC) like our credibility. Tugboat just has sour grapes."

Those were not bets. That was a careful business decision, the type that requires quite a bit of thinking to pull off. For Hein it was a very good decision. Hell we may not be able to get rid of him even with the info we have, never mind touch the cash he made or the companies he established. What about the heat? Well, these type of greedy old men are like teflon. Nothing sticks. Sleeps well at night. Back at the office on Monday.

Naw. UCI are the bumbling Theon Greyjoy is more representative of their ineptness.
You were under the impression I suggested it were bets?Dazed and Confused said:
Kill the king, long live the king. That kinda stuff still works for the foolish public, they only want bread and games, 2000 years of 'civilization' and ceasar Hein still rules the plebeians.
No pardon required, I'll try to be less cryptical the next time, my fault.Dazed and Confused said:
Strange that Canc had to go to Spain for his BBs. I would've thought he was a Ferarri client being a Swiss rider.
Still not surprised. those wins where he rode away were truly doped.

ganging up on me on the historical stuff. Ok, but I do see a difference. The Romans needed to keep the same people happy all the time. I would probably use a more modern analogy to UCI's games: The stock market. The market always needs new gullible clowns in order to make money. UCI has shifted the focus to UK.

You should remember that he won the olympic timetrial and was second in the olympic road race. The same race where poeple were caught with cera. So there was serious testing for cera. So i guess he didn't use cera.
And i agree with cancellara that we should turn the page and get on and bust those on the new stuff these days...
Anyone, with such direct connect or even direct rumor needs to speak up and put it down as it is if they are truly innocent, not start what we all know as the default lame defense of the past that has only bit them in the rear BIG time. So far its all about word vs word, and the word putting him at bay is so far pretty darn good, versus his.
Mr Cancellara it's so simple: just ask for the complete naming in the fuentes case and you are home free with the fans.
that is of course if you are as innocence as you say

Nah, he'd just say that he needs not know which dopers he all beat to his great victories. And sacrificing peace of dozens or hundreds of fellow riders just to get his own barely disputed innocence re-affirmed....
Buffalo said:
He trashed everyone at the Olympics in 2008 on a course he should never have been able to compete on, RR or TT. And Cera testing was already in full swing - that's where they got Rebellin and they'd already got Ricco & Piepoli at the Tour. Had they got Sella by then? Seem to remember it was a OOC in July/August.

CSC had three in the top five right?
Surely those 2008 Tour rumours were correct, it fits.
Possibly. They were very strong in the 2008 Tour as a team.
Would have been rather "interesting" to see Cobo, Piepoli and Ricco in the Alps that year.
Rebellin was caught after a retest in 2009, I think.

How about we sit down and go through the book and find out what Canc did or didn't do if you believe in miralces and then move on? Otherwise Canc is hiding his doping.
