Ullrich already said he wouldn't want those titles, but if that affects the rules or is just being nice...

Remember Fabien Taillefer ? Once a junior (or espoir ?) Paris-Roubaix winner, once caught while riding for Roubaix, now retired.
He's given an interview to Ouest-France, claiming 10 out of 12 riders doped at Roubaix, using corticoids, and Guimard knew it.
Nothing new, but that's just some more confirmation of various rumours.
Here and there I've also read a couple of nasty things about a couple of French pros. What's worrying is that even the young ones are involved. Bit disgusting if you ask, but that makes sense if you consider that they're looking more promising that the previous generation. |

So the most times winner of the Tour de France is Anquiteil, (unsure on spelling), with 5 titles, I think, if wrong someone correct me

They didn't remove Riis title from 1996 ? Because if they had, then Ullrich would join the club. 
Why am I laughing after all, Ullrich probably wasn't worst than any of the four others... |

Probably not. But he got caught too fast, the longer you can hold on, the bigger your name gets and the harder it is to still fall. |

Funny article on the BBC news website, showing Tour winners who had been caught doping since 1980. Apparently Delgado and Roche were clean. Rewriting history somewhat there. |

Well, seems like we can start being hopeful about radioshack again.
RTL.lu received notice that Johan Bruyneel is leaving the team. The article also says, that L'Equipe journalists believe that Bruyneel had something to do with Fränk Testing positive, in order to force the brothers to stay at radioshack... (I wouldnt be suprised if that is true)

This Is the only way to do it. Fun fact: If they would strip Armstrongs title from 2005, and going from the official results before the Ullrich investigation, and would reassign it to the fastest rider who has never been LINKED to Doping, Then we would look at the rider that initially finished 24th overall (after the Ullrich investigation 23rd)...
BRING IT ON, I DARE YOU UCI, ASO AND CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME!

Bruyneel leaving Radioshack is one step, the next is out of the cycling world. GET OUT! |

I do believe Bruyneel was going straight lately. Otherwise he would've gotten some results out of Schleck |
