And Boonen was "alleged" to be a cocaine dealer?

Kayle leogrand is said to be suing USADA because of their intention to test his b sample after his A was negative. This might seem suspicious BUT you must realize that any riders that there is a doping case for will not be allowed to ride Tour of California, ANd the beurocratic nature of USADA means that the case would likely not be resolved for another 20 years.
Many see it as an attempt to keep Rock Racing out of the Tour of California.

Wait, that doesn't make any sense...
If the first test was negative they're going to run a second test... why? That seems a bit biased testing procedure unless ALL competitors have botht he A and B tests run.
I thought the point of the B sample was to confirm the results of the A sample. If the B comes back positive... how would they confirm it if the A already came back negative?
This seems like an attempt to discredit someone in the media by searching for something... not an attempt to actually punish since there will be no chance of an actual suspension if one of the samples is negative. |

But it could keep Rock Racing and Leogrande out of the Tour of California.
It makes perfect sense if you take into account USADA's win at all cost stance.

I agree with barring them from competing, but not with the way it's being done. It should just be "you're all very obviously doped so we won't invite you".

for those two you can argue sporting reasons. Fast Freddy is too old to live up to his nickname and Rahsaan's braids aren't aerodinamic so he'll never be fast...
Not that you'll care but I don't trust that team one bit. Not that I trust many teams.
I'm looking at my last sentence and thinking whether I should laugh or cry.
Ah, who cares....I'm out to see the game with friends. Rock & Republic be damned...

Jonathan Vaughters with the very definition of a backhanded compliment:
I really want to give Johan [Bruyneel] props for taking on the Damsgaard program for Astana. Everyone deserves a second chance."
Considering Vaughters' previous statements, there is no way in hell he's referring to Astana.

Just a shame he's saying it in that implicit way. |

I wonder what has happened to Tyler Hamilton. His two websites are down (tylerhamilton.com and tylerhamiltonfoundation.org), and he's not listed as a rider upon Rock Racing's website. |
