Hm, should I cry after this news if all elite cyclists use doping? Ill start believing in clean cycling only when riders will begin to die slowly like flies when they go uphill in the 3rd week because their hc really goes down and they lose physically 7-8% of energy compared to the first week. While they push 1700-1800 w/h in the third weak, I'm absolutely calm about cleanliness of the sport.
Cycling reputation doesn't interests me much. I'll follow regardless riders, names and vox populi.

EPO is about recovery as much as it is about performance. One rider just simply taking EPO doesn't mean he's suddenly better than an entire peleton. It just might mean a subpar athlete is now able to compete. Now if his entire team was doing it, then he could feasibly be killing everyone. But the fact that he wasn't outperforming everyone doesn't necessarily mean the entire peleton is juiced up on EPO.

If he gets a lifetime ban, as far as I know the most he can get it reduced to is 8 years. Similar to Armstrong.
Besides, why would you want the likes of him to only get a 2 year ban with his previous in mind?
Remembering as well, what evidence did he disclose to get his last ban reduced anyway. Di Luca said he never gave up names.
Is it true that this is the third time? Any Third time, OUT! rules?
Gotta say that I found it pretty funny that his team apparently told him that "You figure out how to get home yourself!"

They should give him the opportunity to ride again just like it was the case with Zoetemelk.
Would be nice to see Di Luca back in about 1 or 2 years so that he maybe can win the world championchips.

I feel that an underdone rider who is past his peak being so competitive at least shows that either the peloton is less juiced up, or at least is on lesser juice so surely that's a good thing. Because if they were all just as juiced up we probably wouldn't have ever noticed him in this Giro.
And 'cheering' for him in 2009? Does that count too? Him or Menchov. Two cheating b*stards, only one gets pinged.Moose McKnuckles said:If you were cheering for DiLuca, you don't deserve those 30 minutes back.
Just call him a drug addict, is sufficient.
Imho Vini Fantini should be thrown out of the Giro.
A-hole is the translation.

I am not the most conservatie guy at this forum when it comes to PEDs use, but I kinda agree with this. Its over no il Killer, take a rest and start thinking about your future outside of this sport
Luckily this shows that doping no longer gives you a significant advantage, when a clean rider like Visconti could drop Danilo a couple of days ago.

So full blown EPO doping doesn't give an advantage against an apparently clean peleton? Yeah that's brilliant.
brilleaben said:
Haha. There is no omerta when a positive drops. That's what the omerta is for.
It's true Di Luca has been a cretino not only for what he got caught
but for the type of attacks he made on the road - hardly any intelligence in them - nothing of much use for the team. ... And that day Santambrogio lost those minutes after another dud Di Luca chance failed.

Knowing I have 0 cred on the doping issue - I still can't help but think, "really Di Luca? Are you that ****ing stupid??"

Utterly stupid of him. Obviously he wanted to win a stage. How did he think he would scam the test when that happened. The strategy probably was to train doped up and compete clean. Here i was thinking that he was on his road to redemption but it turns out that once a doper always a doper is true.

Di Luca = Ricco.
They should let the pantomime villan back in so they can shake their fists and shout threats again next time he gets busted. Always the low hanging fruit - Di Luca busted himself. No new significant catches.
