I'm with you. Holding my breath that nothing takes place relating to Astana and this raid!Vino attacks everyone said:yea, where are my blood brothers?
not soon enough, with sky power and money, i doubt they are stupid enough to put them in the hotel roomMaxiton said:So when are they raiding the Sky rooms?
How stupid are you? You actually think the french would raid a french team to take the heat of a British team? Possibly the most idiotic post of all timeclipperton said:the tinfoil hat wearer in me says that the timing of this is just emperor rupert's ploy to divert attention away from the team sky ****-taking.

It has a lot of credibility. There is an extremely high likelihood that anyone with a 5 or higher is doping. That doesn't prove that anyone with a lower number is clean, just that their blood values at that time weren't suspicious. It has little relevance for the Di Gregorio case, he became a suspect in 2011, the list is from 2010, and it looks like he is suspected of buying steroids, something that wouldn't show up on that list.Logic-is-your-friend said:So how much credibility did the leaked suspicion list ever have? Di Grégorio was listed with a mere 2 on that list. If i'm not mistaken, there have been other riders caught from this list that weren't high up there?
The French never blinked nor hesistated to clean their own house. They can't be accused of naivety.FignonLeGrand said:How stupid are you? You actually think the french would raid a french team to take the heat of a British team? Possibly the most idiotic post of all time
Then how come they haven't been able to catch anyone in over two years from those high on this list?Lanark said:It has a lot of credibility.

Because the biological pasport has a large margin of error. To avoid false positives only the most extreme cases can be prosecuted.Logic-is-your-friend said:Then how come they haven't been able to catch anyone in over two years from those high on this list?
they(UCI) dont want to catch anyone. the blood passport was a way to let teams/riders dope to a level. they were told if you go way over the level we will ban the rider. it is also a good tool to threaten. that there is no positive means that riders can be pulled up on it for varying levels.Logic-is-your-friend said:Then how come they haven't been able to catch anyone in over two years from those high on this list?
In the face of some recent intense competition, too.FignonLeGrand said:How stupid are you? You actually think the french would raid a french team to take the heat of a British team? Possibly the most idiotic post of all time

Before this season I belivewebvan said:I think the title "Cofidis Raided" title is incorrect, it seems that Di Gregorio was arrested (and his room possibly searched) after he was found calling a dope reseller (likely the other two guys arrested).
So when did Sanquer leave Astana ?
You see that was how the news was reported at the time and unfortunately or fortunately i am not a mod so cant change itwebvan said:I think the title "Cofidis Raided" title is incorrect, it seems that Di Gregorio was arrested (and his room possibly searched) after he was found calling a dope reseller (likely the other two guys arrested).
