Well Ferrari does raise an interesting point. He appears to be suggesting the UCI are "hand selecting" people they want to take down on the bio rather than it been done on blood values alone.

Michele could take down the UCI in a day with the knowledge he has.

C'mon Michele!!! Enough with the waffles. Bring it all down! It's obvious from the cheap seats.

Except, Hajo did exactly that at the IAAF just days ago and no one is talking about the IAAF being disassembled. IOC in particular is quite silent. Too busy talking about Bach's plans??

This is the mother of all corruptions. The same governing body has every vested interest to control, with all the economic insentives this presupposes, who is doped and who isn't.

For this they let LA get away with it for as long as they independently were able. Given that the investigation is "Italian," little will change.

If the investigation into Pantani's death is anything to go by or the Amanda Knox we can expect some form of decision by 2021. For it to be reversed two later.

I'd given up on Padova long ago so this was quite a shock.

Still, seems like there are names missing that should be there (including non-riders). Given the quality (or lack of) amongst the names mentioned you wonder why this new business model was introduced. No longer the F1 World Champ? Getting desperate as the noose tightened? Or is this just the tip of the iceberg?

It's not like anyone at the UCI wants their Ferrari payoffs to dry up either.

Surprised this has not been brought up yet but the report finally connected Sky with Ferrari :eek:

Why no celebration? Possoni working with the evil Dr. Ferrari.

As I understand it Possoni used to work with Ferrari. He was forced to stop by the team....but Ferrari has a Svengali like hold on some of his clients. Ignoring the doping for seconds.....they don't feel they can perform without his guidance. I understand Possoni started working with him again, even though his team and Fed said it was not allowed.

A few of us hinted at this last night as we were shocked that SKY had not come into the firing line like they usually do, especially when one of their riders was directly connected with Ferrari.

Just figured that most on here didn't even really know who Possoni was or that he was even at SKY which says a lot about people's level of knowledge here.

Now just watch the revivionist-back dated claims of Possoni/SKY awareness.

A Sky / Ferrari link. Who would have thought. Rogers is in the frame as well, along with Yates.

Cycling is funny stuff, sometimes.

Hed had a tailwind. Nothing to see there.

Odd that a Sky rider would have to go to Ferrari when they supposedly have this super secret, undetectable, team wide doping program. :rolleyes:

Not sure where posters have claimed a team wide doping program, mostly a GT team doping program as the 1 day races showed no results and the GT team spent so much time on Tenerife.

But Possoni went back to Lampre so maybe he did not get near the 'program'.

So Tiralongo, another Astana rider to be added to the list. Ex Lampre/Panaria-CSF as well. Wonder when he was working with Fuentes.

I have had several angry PMs from folks who are ****ed because I don't think Sky have a team program.

I agree with you. Their lack of results point more toward Froome not sharing whatever rocket fuel he is doing

Interesting to note that Vino only want 12 riders on the program. Wonder how the guys who were left out feel?

Same with Wiggo. Whatever it is/was the UCI 'never tested positive.'

Ran out of budget for more?
Good number to field a strong team at many races?

So, if Vino's got 12 WT riders on a program, none of them test positive? Well, except, very suddenly, very recently.

This is why I believe the UCI is sitting on a mountain of positives. It's hard to believe they don't have all kinds of positive scores because of these revelations along with Horner's and Kreuziger's scores.
