Denis Galimzyanov tested positive for EPO .... my chances of Top 10 are gone. It was my most expensive pick. Just four teams has Denis Galimzyanov including the leader Mello Velo.

this is something that we should try to improve in the game...
the doping or the injury have a big component in this game... we should try to introduce a sort of insurance to avoid that. For example, introducing at the beginning of the game some riders as substitutes that should enter in the team in these cases. Going in details, 3 or 2 (or even 1) substitutes for each team, and each of us can choose the value of them: of course, you can use a substitute only if he costs less than the dopers or the injury riders, so you can decided which riders cover and which not.

what do you think?

Dont think is needed. Its a part of the game and anyone selecting expensive rider should realize the risk. Technically you should stay away from risky (read expensive) riders.

Galim or Offredo are not so expensive (like Nibali or Cancellara), but loosing them, sucks anyway...

Any rider that cost 3x the average is expensive ... even 2x the avg ... at least IMO

Galims is 3x the average, but Offredo is only 1.3x the average... but the problem is that you not only loose his value, but you loose also the opportunity to gain points... staying on Offredo, if you choose him, you hope at least that he can double his points, so you loose the opportunity to have 600 points... and that's quite a lot...

Personally I think doping is rightly punished in real cycling, and its appropriate that it should be so in the game too.

... so, if I choose a guy that is doping, I should "pay" (loosing the game) since he's an idiot? :rolleyes:

a couple of years ago I was involved in an other game like this one (more or less) and to avoid to get issue with the doping, I took a guy that IMO was really far by the doping.....

I lost that game :D

You could even take it further and introduce festina rules where the whole team gets docked after too many positives.

the UCI didnt respond to my email asking to see the blood profiles of all the riders I was considering.

I was very surprised last year when ingsve didnt withdraw his team following Alex Rasmussens whereabouts violations.

The reality is its part of cycling so its part of the game, and is dealt with sensibly by Hugo's rules.

Looking at the numbers over the last several weeks, I noticed an ominous trend. Here are the rankings of last year's winner, ingsve, since week 8:

8: 65th
9: 54th
10: 50th
11: 36th
12: 39th
13: 38th
14: 35th
15: 32nd

Slowly and steadily, he is climbing up the board.

Well, people shouldn't be too worried. I have several riders that are underperforming this year so right now my hopes are not too high.
