Are we finally going to get the returns on Astana Shack's 7 DNA drips?
It's gonna happen sometime soon. Certainly, before Le Tour. Timing is everything, in this sport.

I think they'll wait till just before the tour, so they can put all these guys in handcuffs, does sound more like the French police with cycling :p (or I hope, still hope to see another action like Festine, made for fantastic television)

I think someone will attack the UCI again

That would be sweet. Or results of CERA retests from the 2008 Giro? We've got a backlog of news they owe us.

Bye Bye Bertie, Bye Bye RadioShack... Menchov for the Tour :D

I had a free bet on him last year. He didn't look so hot after that humanplasma thing.

Speaking of which, did NADA ever release the names for that?

If Contador goes, I'll be clocking out too. I've got the French Open playing in the background to ease the transition. What's got me concerned out of all this is the "Pepe the 'trainer'" mention from 2003. I didn't know until I read it at Astanafans that Alberto is trained by Pepe Marti. I saw that he was with Discovery before Astana, but don't know about 2003, or if there was another Pepe around.

On the OCLAESP, I've never considered Contador to be in the running. Leipheimer crashed out, leaving seven guys who followed Armstrong and Bruyneel to Radio Shack. It wouldn't make sense that six of them would have done infusions and left one out. Besides, if Lance knew Contador could be busted for something, he would have made sure he got caught.

Hahaha, really made me laugh. :D


On topic, i think its definitely US related, more a continuation of the ongoing scandal then a brand new one.

That's easy to fix - order the camera motos away from Basso and let the tifosi push him up the Mortirola.

From the sound of the Hushovd article, surely he's talking about the Giro? Who's looked a bit rum to you guys? Personally, I haven't really seen much to raise an eyebrow. But there's still today and the Gavia to go... (slap them down Carlos!)

Having said that, Liquigas do seem to have become Team of The Year and had to drop Pellizotti. As for Sagan... I hope not, but kind of hard to buy, frankly.

I guess you didn't see the other thread yet. Pellizotti will be at training camp with Liquigas next week and plans to ride the Italian Championships and Tour de France

It sounds like it's a "bomb" not just one or two random guys getting pinged.

In which case, Liquigas would be where I look first :(
