That's disgusting. But why do they catch Kolobnev than, he was with Katusha so he has a link with Russia itself in money-terms because Katusha is like GreenEdge a national cycling project isn't it?

I have no idea...I'm far from a font of knowledge on the subject...it's just that I'm in a Friday night due to a fantastic organisational oversight

Nygaard against Belgian press: "Management of Leopard understood nothing of cycling"
He stated that the sponsor really understood nothing of how cycling works. They were never satisfied and really expected that Leopard Trek would be able to win every race they rode. Nygaard had some examples to back up his claims as well.
About the Tirreno 2011 TTT, where Leopard posted the 7th time and Cancellara dropped some of his team. "The management asked me which riders had dropped so I told them their names. Then the management told me to sent those riders to the station and let them go home. Because they weren't strong enough to hold Cancellara's wheel they should train more before coming back".
Even good results couldn't satisfy the management. In the weekend where Cancellara won the E3 Prijs and Bennati got 2nd behind Boonen in Gent-Wevelgem everyone was super happy.... except the management of the sponsors. "I got an angry call from the upper management why we weren't able to win both races. Totally absurd in my eyes", said Nygaard.
------------------------
 I found this story amusing. Imagine they had the same results as Rabobank or BMC this season so far... they would've burst out in tears or fired half the team

I missed that. Anyway, that's not important anyway.
The important part is how laughable this news is |

That is similar to Sky in a way. Whenever I watch Sky Sports News or Sky News here in the UK and they get to the sport section there is never anything on Team Sky (the actual team they sponsor) or Cycling whatsoever, its ridiculous. Then when they do a piece on cycling, the presenters have no idea what they are talking about! The BBC even reported that when EBH won Stage 3 of Tirreno that Cavendish was beaten by his team-mate (technically he was!) but they made it sound like he actually beat him in a sprint, when in fact Cav had said he wasn't feeling 100%. |

I doubt that. The interview was published in Jyllands-Posten yesterday (which is where it origins from)  |

It was indeed on a Belgian news-site, but it indeed isn't on Cyclingnews.

Sure, in the cyclingnews article I read on the 15th it said it was from an interview with a Danish newspaper.

Chilean rider Luis Mansilla (8th in Tour de San Luis) caught on EPO. Seems like we really can't trust those Chileans suddenly performing so well between the pro's. Last year it was Arriagada and now this. |

Alejandro Valverde seems to be pretty self-confident. Evidentally, he targets the overall classification in the Tour (Here's the article):
"My idea is to fight for the general classification," said the 31-year-old, who already has two top ten results in the Tour to his name (in 2007 and 2008). "It's clear that the amount of time trial kilometres favours those riders who are specialists against the clock, like Wiggins or Evans. But the Tour is the Tour, it is very long and anything can happen, it can be over at any day. So I will do my utmost to be there, to do the best I can, even if, to me, the favourite is Andy Schleck."
It's a bit surprising imo. The course doesn't suit him too much, does it?

Longo included in the French Olympic Preselection
The EPO her husband was purchasing had nothing to do with her
And OK, she had some whereabouts problems three times.
What a joke
Aquarius I want to hear you condemn this strongly
