UCI is making a rod for its own back.

They are creating a big barrier to entry for the top tier, by going after the lower rungs with a baseball bat as scapegoats, and protecting the stars of the sport, who can afford the sophisticated programs.

Be good if more like Kohl stood up, and said "we are not doing anything different".

He was also busted for supplying drugs as well. Sounds like he's being hammered for the two'fer.

Priamo has nothing to lose by spilling the beans.

I understand what your saying here but I always try to take these things on a case by case basis. Di Luca was a big name that was taken down this year for example. Kohl gobbed as much as he can but how much of it is bitterness etc etc?
Anyway Priamo was found positive & also found to be a supplier. He should be crushed accordingly & has received a 4 year ban. Tough luck Priamo, bloke knew well what the consequences are. Try flogging EPO to your street sweeping buddies in your new job.

The UCI wasn't involved in this case. The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) appealed the decision of the Italian national anti-doping agency.
