Mellow Velo said:Well, nothing, it appears, changes at good ol' Liberty Seguros.
issoisso said:meh. extremely predictable.
One of the top myths about doping: "he can't be doped. he's a nice guy". That has zero influence in it. zero.
I'll go to your "wind tunnel". Maybe I'll get the "Drag Factors" that I need to improve my calculations.franciep10 said:Wow that's a lot of money out of my pocket, In February the entire Liberty Seguros team was in my wind tunnel doing time trial training, and nozal seemed like such a nice guy.

franciep10 said:That's not what I'm saying, I know a lot of nice guys in cycling that have been caught. All I was saying is that he's a good guy, it just show that good guys dope too.

Hoy me he visto sorprendido por la noticia. No entiendo que haya dado positivo. Han sido 7 años en el campo profesional y he disfrutado mucho haciendo lo que más me gusta: montar en bicicleta. Nunca he tomado, bajo mi responsabilidad, conocimiento y consentimiento, esta sustancia ni otra que estuviera prohibida para la competición. Así, mi única declaración es que soy inocente y nunca me he dopado.
BroDeal said:I don't get it. Why is it that every rider busted for EPO this year is using CERA? Once it became detectable, it seems like a very bad choice because it stays in the system so long.
LastRide said:How long does it stay in the system?
Perhaps these three guys had it worked out that they would be clear by the start of the Tour of Portugal but got caught out because they were tested 2 days before the start.
Race Radio said:Any truth to the rumor that Armstrong is actually Biaviian?
Garry Allen said:Allan Davis and ? another Australian rider went to Astana when Liberty Seguros collapsed, contract wasn't renewed this year
BroDeal said:Schumacher got caught for CERA at the Olympics. If he has half a brain in his head, he stopped using it after Ricco's positive was announced at the TdF. That is a big time gap.
issoisso said:The Liberty Seguros team is officially over.
That's another DS who spreads organized doping out of the sport then
Heh. Even Gianni Savio's comment was (I'm paraphrasing) "I'm extremely surprised. That Rebellin tested positive? No, not at all. That he was dumb enough to use something everyone knew was detectable"

BikeCentric said:Well Manolo drove Once out of the sport with his doping program with that team, so hopefully no sponsor is stupid enough to go for try #3 on the Saiz roulette wheel.
