The UCI takes action?

[BroDeal]

What are the chances that any of the riders will belong to one of the teams that is suspected of being under the UCI's protection? Maybe McQuaid, Verbruggen, and Armstrong can get rid of Contador to pace the way for Armstrong as team leader.

The UCI must be afraid of what Walsh will reveal with his new book. The Kohl affair is not helping either.

I'm starting a guessing game: Which riders are going to get named?

Horner, Astana
Di Luca, LPR
LL Sanchez, Caisse

One of those, or all of them

For me, I'm thinking it has to be names big enough for people to think the UCI is doing something without taking out any of the Tour de France favorites.

We have to keep in mind that this is the UCI. No riders will actually be sanctioned. Their teams will be notified. The UCI's shadowy blacklisting of riders will then come into effect.

Horner? That would not be in Armstrong's or Bruynee's interests. Won't happen.

How about Valverde? After all, there wouldn't really be anything to lose since he's already been tagged by CONI, and they've already said he isn't welcome at the Tour.

Sure it would. They would pay him back for his sh!t talking AND they could make him the scapegoat and really go overboard in condemning his behavior as being completely contrary to their desire for a clean sport. Win win.

*Contador cannot be touched-- If he goes down- so the whole team- just won't happen.
*Valverde is already out of the tour
Riis will make sure his top guys won't get touched.
They might f*ck somebody from Cervelo Team.

But, hey-- The UCI has been threatening the entire peloton since the f*ck*ng Bio Hazardous (sorry-Biological) Passport was in the making and really nothing has happened since its announce...

once more: U C I IS F*CK*NG THE SPORT

Silly season takes on a new meaning these days. Now it's the who-should-we-find-positive-and-ban lottery just before the TDF.

It's too bad the UCI is so self destructive.

The UCI are also meeting tomorrow, to finally pull the plug on the Astana licence, unless wages for the remainder of the season are not forthcoming, by this time.
Wages bills are only up to date, as far as May 31st.

I am not sure about that. He could talk you know.
