Aguirre said:wait a bit, the substance is not banned! the riders are not suspended, the substance might be used as maskant, but in itself is not a dopping case.
It might end in a further investigation too and a small sanction.

Intelligent Being said:Why am I not surprised? Mosquera goes from having only 1 win in his entire career to being one of the best climbers in the world and dropping everyone in the Vuelta at the age of 35. We don't need no stinking doping test to see that he is clearly a doper. This isn't rocket science, people.
The Hitch said:You dont know much about Mosqueras career do you? Libertine Seguros did a very nice post on this a few weeks ago showing where Mosquer had been all his career and his performance at the Vuelta wasnt that surprising.
Intelligent Being said:The same Liberty Seguros with Manolo Saiz?
The Hitch said:No, a poster on here called Libertine Seguros who seems to spend most of his time watching continental and Portugese cycle races, the places where Mosquera was competing before he moved up to the Vuelta in 07.
Intelligent Being said:With a name like that, it's hard for me to take what he says seriously.

Apparently Mosqeura is also free to ride according to the spanish federation
icefire said:Yes, the article says that according to both UCI and the Spanish Federation the positive for that substance leads to a warning but not a suspension. Now, my question is what the *** is a warning and what it means in terms of disciplinary actions?
Sevilla and Mosquera doing a 'Delgado'
TeamSkyFans said:you get forced to ride the 2011 tour of california as punishment
The Hitch said:Sad news. I liked Mosquera. I knew he doped ( and yes FoxyBrown, i did say that many times on your thread) but i am of the opinion that doping is still rife. I am sure Nibali doped as well, positive or no positive. Same with Peter, same with Andy, same with Dennis and Carlos (mentioned on this thread).
