poor Vincenzo must feel very let down by his team mate's actions

I guess we've moved away from the pdf update system then?

the big guys get hidden in PDF files, while the small fish gets a press release to show that the UCI are serious about anti doping.

 

[mrhender]

If anything this is circumstantial evidence as to doping beeing a cultural and wide-spread offence...

 

[whittashau]

Looks like a desperate attempt to pick up a WT contract by him. Clearly it didn't really help him perform that well.

 

[Puckfiend]

Hmmm. Looks like Iglinsky is not interested in being one of "the cool guys".

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

poor guy. havent done a single good result in years. Really needed some results to get a contract. Oh well

It probably was, but being lazy in training and not a great responder was his main problem.

Old school?

Just showed the Menchov thing was a special case/mistake/corruption.

 

[SeriousSam]

Has Lance tweeted what an idiot he is yet?

 

[Beech Mtn]

Has UCI done away with the pdf thing altogether? Couldn't find it on their new site (not that it was ever meant to be easy to find)

Wonder how this affects Astana and the MPCC?

Wonder how this affects the rift between the Kazakh and Italian factions in Astana also?

snipped...

Nothing will happen. Astana will fire him immediately and claim he was rogue.

allready done. He did it by himself. Case closed

Dave.

Definitely not part of the new clean generation.

 

[elduggo]

can't he just claim the EPO positive was due to cross-contamination because his pharmacist had just served someone EPO when he went to collect his antibiotics?

That excuse doesnt work on eastern european riders.

Well, there you go. UCI probably saved Astana from getting rid of some deadwood themselves. Frees up a bit of cash for a case of wine too.

 

[hrotha]

He probably did do it on his own, right after Vino told him to improve his results, no matter what it took, wink wink, if he wanted a new contract.

 

[the sceptic]

that Astana transparency seems legit.

 

[therealtimshady]

Why ?? The eneco tour is rubbish

 

[Digger]

these guys like Di Luca, Santambrogio, Ullisi and now this guy - yet are beaten by 'clean' riders like they are Juniors.

 

[westerner]

Neal Rogers on twitter trying to sound all anti doping. Though looks like he may have got the 2 brothers mixed up.

Iglinsky admits to using EPO. Can’t help but recall how much flak I took over my April 2012 piece questioning Astana http://velonews.competitor.com/2012...ises-as-former-liege-winners-fall-flat_214608 …

 

[Benotti69]

no doubt this will be rolled out as another guy who didn't train hard enough, not committed and eating nutella who needed to dope to compete......

Yeah this sport is CLEANS.....
