Aguirre said:sorry, we will see him at least riding the worlds, and of course the Vuelta, and you know he is able to win... both, then your argument that this cyclist make dirty our sport is more valuable even that UCI's arguments and rules that will allow him to take part?
There is just silence over him (oh!!! the Tour is over and we all know how paranoic people become just before TdF starts) not only because CAS is evaluating the proofs, but also because if these proofs would made him guilty he will be allready out of the game. But there is not such evidence. Then CONI's crussade that will be desintegrated into the air, if it is not allready.
Speak, if you want in 6 months again!
I guess some people should "read" cycling beyond the journalistic sensationalism
Digger said:You're so right. DNA is totally unreliable.
Izoard said:I don't think it is a given that Valverde will be riding the World Champs ... he was off the hot plate while the Tour was on, but I think the UCI and CONI will be returning to this subject soon enough.

Aguirre said:Please, proofs, proofs, proofs, facts, facts, facts.
Aguirre said:Tom Danielson did a great ride, not only deffending the jersey, but also attacking Valverde and the rest. He can do a great Vuelta.
Is he back? Is Garmin's card for the last 3weeks tour of the season?

Hammerhed said:It seems to me that Mosquera is very reliable and consistent and regularly has good showings in the Spanish races. I wonder why he has never been able to move up to a first tier team?
anubisza said:There are now quite a few races that the UCI are going to have to change the results of should Valverde be found guilty.. It's a really shocking state of affairs.
ak-zaaf said:the puerto thingy is from 2006, no need to change results at all.
Parrot23 said:Good for Tom.Van Velde and Wiggins' influence is likely helping, so he knows he can do it. Like Swedish tennis players, etc.: it took Borg to win, then a whole host/generation of Swedish players followed.
If Tom can stay injury free, it should add an arrow in Garmin's quiver in future Tour in the high mountains. They need a guy who can climb with the best if they are to even have a hope against the Conti's and Schlecks, etc. Doubtful, but the more competition the better.
