Perfect!

But the test was taken at Dwars door Vlaanderen, had the unpronounceable volcano exploded then?

Susan

Yes. 4 days previously. But hadn't spread to mainland europe yet.

Shock horror! The smallest name in the squad gets nabbed.
Wow, I'll go back to sleep...........

Yeah, thought it might've been someone higher up. I was thinking Horner before I opened the thread.

I'm sure I read somewhere that something like 40% (or maybe higher, I can't remember) of pro cyclists have a prescription for drugs often used for asthma..

"Volcano ash. I couldn't breathe".

Except it was March 23rd. A tad too early for Ejyafjallajökull-defense (the ash didn't start spreading until April 14th), but I like how you think. :p Maybe he can get a back dated TUE or something.

EDIT: Btw, I see you changed for avatar from 12, to 11. What's the significance?
 
Weren't he and Beppu the ones that Trek wanted Bruyneel to sign to they could market their bikes in the Orient or something like that?

This is interesting, but odd - a sacrificial lamb perhaps?

It is more commonly known as the "tongue twister volcano" or, sometimes, the "Scrabble volcano."

That's gotta be the scrabble bonus level or something.

I just realized it's been 8 years since a Bruyneel rider was caught red-handed. Wow, it's been forever.

The Giro d'Italia that starts in 11 working days . Because Weekends aren't days. They're heaven :D
