The difference is easy to spot, too. I'll bet whatever amount that if we put the Tour of Morocco running on a TV in front of you, you'll go watch something else, because there won't be any riders or teams you support racing. I'll watch and I'll be just as engrossed as watching a Tour de France stage. Probably a lot more, considering the Tour tends to be extremely boring compared to most races.
That's actually right what you said here 
Thank you for being respectful and not launching into an angry non-rational tirade like many people would

Absolutely gutted one of my favourite riders  absolute hero. And if you think there are no drugs you cycling you are seriously mistake. Look where he was on gc and he looked like he was suffering. Anyway he won the tour down under years back with ag2r if i remember right  anyway the next positive will take a few weeks as it takes time to analyse them. I guess 2-3weeks |

Again, I introduce the Alex Sanchez Corollary. Alex Sanchez was a professional baseball player who was the first player suspended under baseball's new steroids policy in 2005. Steroids (primarily HGH) had always been associated with hitting home runs in baseball. In his career Sanchez had hit, count them, four home runs.....
Basically what I am saying is that just because a rider doesn't do what drugs normally are said to do doesn't mean they aren't using them. |

Official statement by the team (paraphrased, obviously)
Mikel is innocent because our internal controls detected nothing, blah blah blah, we'll stand by him all the way, blah blah blah, B sample. blah
"our internal controls". right. as if.
Thanks to the internal controls of the team, Landaluze was not selected for the Tour. He tested on EPO during the Tour...
The team suspended him before the UCI found something. After the UCI announced that Landaluze used EPO, Euskaltel reacted with a press message saying Landaluze was officially suspended for the team as well.

Except Landaluze tested positive at the Dauphiné and again out of competition after the Dauphiné
Plus the team only suspended him after being informed of the positive by the UCI. Plus he wasn't at the Tour because he hurt his wrist.

He tested positive only after Euskaltel already made the decision to not select Landaluze for the upcoming races (besides the Tour he also was not selected for the nationals and for the Vuelta of Madrid). And his wrist... well yeah that's what they said maybe but after the UCI suspended him it came clear the team did as well.
Here, look at the official announcement of the team following the suspension of Landaluze by the UCI:
Ante el comunicado recibido de la Unión Ciclista Internacional sobre la potencial violación del Reglamento Antidopaje del ciclista Iñigo Landaluze en el transcurso del Criterium du Dauhpiné Libéré'09, el equipo ciclista profesional Euskaltel - Euskadi afirma que en dicho proceso no existe ninguna responsabilidad de este conjunto deportivo.
Además, queremos informar de que el mencionado ciclista ya fue apartado de su participación en los Campeonatos de España en aplicación del Código Interno del equipo y que actualmente se encontraba a la espera de mantener una reunión con los responsables de este equipo a finales de este mes al regreso del Tour de Francia.
Esta situación de apartamiento cautelar ya habÃa sido puesta en conocimiento de los principales patrocinadores del equipo ciclista profesional.
El equipo ciclista Euskaltel – Euskadi quiere dejar claro que de confirmarse estos resultados en el contraanálisis, emprenderá las acciones legales que considere oportunas contra dicho corredor.

I don't believe them for one second. This is the team that in 2005 said they'd prosecute him for doping...until they realized there was a chance they could get him off on a technicality so they immediately changed their speech to "we'll support him till the ends of the earth"
