Talking about Italians, and as a totally inapropriate off threader, what has Basso been up to lately?
I wonder how deep Petacchi and Cunego are in this doping ring. Pettachi was already caught before, and Cunego has shown such a form decrease over the last couple of years that most, including himself, believed he weaned himself off the goods.
Didn't he even have a tattoo saying he is anti-doping?
Ballan's performance in the last 1-2 years has been staggering as well, so I was under the impression that he had been using less than he was using before. Fear of the bio passport?
On the other hand, they might still all want to make a quick buck by selling the goods...
