The Luxembourg Anti-Doping Agency (ALAD) has dismissed any case against Fränk Schleck for his contact with Operación Puerto protagonist Dr Eufemiano Fuentes.
So, let's recap.
- Frank goes to a gynecologist who just happens to be running a doping clinic at the time (and was later busted for it and confessed) for "training plans";
- Frank says great things in interviews about the training plans that Riis devises for him....yet now he says that Fuentes was the one doing his training plans;
- Frank's performances improve tremendously all of a sudden by "huge coincidence";
- The fact his teammate and friend was also busted and confessed is apparently also a large coincidence;
Makes perfect sense. Besides, everyone knows that gynecologists are performance training experts, especially when it comes to men's sport 
Is there anyone who actually believes him?
No, not really. But the above has not been enough to convict the guy for anything, so he rides on. Maybe Team Saxo should have fired him, but on the other hand if there is no case against Schleck, he could sue if he were fired. |

Evans claims the Giro were using his name to publicise itself, and that he was never planning on going, the Giros response:
"In 100 years, the Giro has never had to take advantage of the name Evans to publicise itself. If Evans wants to come, he will nevertheless be welcomed."

Every one of those guys has said they'll ride the Giro, with the exception of Evans who was quoted as saying it, but apparently never did. |
