Santambrogio tests positive for EPO

[Vino attacks everyone]

And when I pointed out the obvious some days ago my post got deleted by Trollmod Netserk...

What Zam said

 

[gooner]

So Nibali will have 3 stage wins now.

To bad though, It is not like the italians got to many climbers left up thier sleeve any more. Nibali, Pozzovivo with a honorable mention to Scarponi (and Basso ofc )

Stop it. More importantly!!!

De Greef 20th in GC!!! OMGOMGOMG

Anyway, sad, but so obvious too.

 

[Spicco]

So Nibali will have 3 stage wins now.

And De Greef gets his 20th place in the GC

Shall we wait for the B sample?

Also says that it doesn't matter how much EPO you take, if you don't transfuse you will not be able to compete against those who do in the third week (unless you're one of those mythical riders with super natural recovery powers).

I think there definitely was a drop in performance after the 2nd rest day, so the EPO delivery probably didn't come through (or the rest of the peloton did a transfusion).

The writing was on the wall once Di Luca was busted. Almost seems old-fashioned to get busted for EPO these days, thought Ferrari said you'd be crazy to use it a few years ago. Obviously these two are crazy

47th instead of 48th in the giro... Nothing more to say, evil is still in the peleton. It wore yellow fluo and we knew it when we saw it.

Would be nice if someone from the peleton actually opened their mouth DURING the Giro.

If a Blanco rider were to do so they'd come across as a sore loser

To what purpose? Anyway, several riders hinted at this during the giro.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Well, he had 2-3 months of fame.

Cycling is so much cleaner now.

 

[sublimit]

There were no German sprinters at the Giro so we might be waiting a while for that.

I'm bet Cav is happy he went for those intermediates on the final stage. When all the suspensions play out, he may need them. (or not at all if Nibbles gets busted)

 

[Bala Verde]

This only shows that Vini Fantini-Selle is not sophisticated enough.

Bunch of amateurs.

 

[Afrank]

So will Vini Fantini survive this?
Got to admit, part of me wants them too. Only because they still have the best kit in the peloton.

 

[maltiv]

I really don't get the guys (mostly on twitter) who use this to criticize UCI. We should applaud them when they catch a cheater, not criticize them.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

wow what a suprise, not

I said it stinked from the day I saw the tirreno.
Also seeing that fat face full of epo go in the Giro was ridicolous

The Clinic called this one a month ago.

They wont recaluclate points. Never do

Mountain domestique wants a better contract. Needs points for that. Moves away from his WT team to get them, with a little help of EPO.

Definitely something the UCI need to look at. The points system just sucks.

Good to know.

I thought this place was just a mad house? Pointing fingers at innocent riders?

Many people called it in March.
