I wanted to post something but then I figured I'd better not because I don't want skidmark to come up with a rolleyes smiley.

Hahaha, the wrath of the rolleyes...

edit: also, not sure what I think of this news. I liked Kolobnev, but I think he should get more time suspended than this.

No roster sports? Some bad blood?

Could probably ride for RusVelo, but they just got their AGR wild-card taken away, so that wouldn't make sense.

Well there was also some *****ing about the team "not giving him full support" blah blah blah. Even his roommate (Silin) ended up leaving to Astana because of that

Well, I didn't hear of any bad blood between them after Kolobnev left the team, however he didn't get too many points last year, and depending on what sort of shape he's in, when can he start producing results this year?

diuretic?

So let me know if I have the facts straight? For a diuretic, sold over the counter for patients who may have been retaining liquids (thereby jeopardizing his kidneys); the rider is 'suspected' of cheating and utilizing it as a 'masking agent', and it's given a 2 year sanction; Must return all prize money earned since the test took place (Prize money shared with team members, staff, mgmt); And must pay back to the Russian Team SIX times his yearly SALARY of one million euros(6 million Euros)? I wish I was his lawyer. I would have filed a class action lawsuit against UCI, Katusha, The cyclists union, and lawyers who devised this racket; And last but not least, the World Trade Organization, for allowing 21st century indenture labor. AKA Slavery. This ain't the Czars period anymore
(PD I'm not an Int'l Labor Attorney, but I'm acquainted with an LLP which doesn't PLAY STUPID GAMES)
