So now we should remain to be okay with teams where almost half of their at least former riders are proven dopers, or suspicious riders and where also the personnel is linked to it, nice.
Many of you are strictly against doping and UCI covering it up, but when the doping team is being stripped of licence, not many like it, strange.
Of course i know UCI are corrupt lames, who will fock up everything, but still.

I guess the problem is: clean riders get punished, too.
But I see what you mean

You would hope they would exclude teams on a legally watertight basis instead of creating a farcical situation like this...

True, that is why i wrote about them doing it in a wrong way and focking it up, but still the message was clear and i am glad for that. Now i am not glad with Katusha coming back, idont believ anyone from this team a word, Purito first in the row...
So Katusha are the only team in the WT who has a dodgy past and present?
If the UCI are going to follow this idea (which is actually a decent one) of removing all tainted teams, well then i reckon 2 current teams may survive, possibly 4.
Because as people here revel in pointing out, almost everyone in cycling has a link to doping in some form.

Where i said something like that or gave that impression? ( reffering to your fist paragraph
That would have not been a bad move in the end. I want to see clean sport and clean cycling, not some sort of closing the eyes in front of almost everyone cheating. I even would not have a problem with all the cycling races being shorted to something like half of their lenght, to make it more possible for humans to compete there...
