When will ASO comment?

Lance says the ASO have no reason to throw them out of the tour, i think the ASO's view will be that the attention on lance and shack will be detrimental. Think they will throw them out on the bases of bad publicity rather than levelling any allegations.

It's a tough call. The ASO, like the UCI, is more interested in cycling looking clean than being clean. That's why they called off and then pretty much muzzled the dogs at L'Equipe. They haven't broken a doping story in a couple of years.

I'm still putting all of my hopes right now in the AFLD and OCLAESP. All it takes is one DNA match with something from the illegal infusion kit and this whole thing gets real in a hurry.

Gotta cut it short - the Eurosport UK announcer, Blazing Saddles and a guy at Velonation literally made me sick to my stomach:(

Imagine if Christian Prudhomme says he allows RS team to participate ONLY if LA is excluded? wouldn't it be the greatest payback ever? :D

Levi wouldn't have the "bottle" to attend also.

Klöden in the position he never wanted to be, leading a GT team. Although there's always Tiago/Janez/Yaroslav/Haimar - we all know what hog juice does to these guys.

I wouldn't expect anything to be decided until acutal evidence comes out.

And if it does... then I'd expect Astana to be out as well.

If Bruyneel is the issue for RS... and Contador won with Bruyneel last year...

well there are probably dots to be connected.

ASO acted very fast when Puerto broke. They definitely had no time to judge the evidence then.
