McQuaid Conspiracy Theory

Theory:

McQuaid tipped-off the Schleck brothers about AC's positive and hooked them up with backers for a new team, meanwhile not telling Riis a damn thing, leaving him with his prized, poison Alberto Contador. Riis finally hears the rumors about the dope test at the Vuelta, and sends Andy home.

I'm fond of the idea that McQuaid is so crooked that he is capable of something like this, but didn't Cancellara admit that he had been approached by the Schlecks this time last year about the possibility of a new team?

Why pick on McQuaid?...he didn't make the -frenchy- rules of the UCI, only adheres to them. It like the republicans blaming Obama for their financial mess and wars??????????????

-so I’ve heard the rumor-is it truth?
**yes- We got the go ahead from “you-know-who”…….Is going to happen after the Tour—same way the “traitors” have gone down…
- OK-what about Vino & the Kazaks? Are they going to cause any trouble?
**NO--they’ve paid the bills—Unlike AC….
-Really? I thought he was playing by the rules….
**pleeeaaassseee…. The mothef*ck*r thought he was royalty: no “taxes for me” –hahahaha--- you know that sh*t don’t work like that—also he made upset a lot of people in town –specially “you-know-who”….bottom line: Who wants to have a guy like that winning everything and not paying his share? – Who the f*ck he thinks he is?
-I see…. so it gets done and then what?
**We have already talked to the “Luxo” crew-they’re ready to step in with the young kid—stand up guy-everybody seems to like him….
-well—“bertie” was likeable too…
**true –but this business–not a f*ck*ng congeniality contest – you win-you pay your share…you know it-he knows it- everyone in the peloton knows it…
Ok-then its done--let me get the word out and proceed...

McQuaid is crooked, but come on. I tend to think cycling is as bad as the rest of the posters here but doubt that anything like this is going on. Also, he hooked them up with backers for their team that currently has no title sponser?

The Schlecks were gone before the Tour de France started. The only way McQuaid could have known in advance Contador would test positive for Clenbuterol is...:eek::eek::eek:
