I suck 
Oh wait, we're talking about Lance. In the spirit of Lance, I must come up with a retarded excuse.
I...uhh....I have a genetic bone condition that prevents me from spelling correctly. Here, I have a TUE for it.

Talking about Lance, he finished 21th in the 1st stage of the Tour of Gila, an uphill finish there.
He finished 1'45 behind Leipheimer and even finished '30 behind Marc de Maar, who just returned from an injury  |

Sorry, I keep mixing up the Walter Virú and Jesus Losa investigations
Those names are from the Losa investigation
Here's a link if you still want it though

Random thought on Frei's "I've been doping since 2008".
At the time Damsgaard was running the internal tests of the Astana team and kept assuring us there was no way anyone on the teams he was controlling were doping.
As I've said a ton of times before. Damsgaard was in on it the whole time. I'm sure of it.

The ex-team doctor of Xacobeo said that they put him aside in the Vuelta 09 because he didn't want to engage in doping practices, instead Xacobeo hired some old Liberty Seguros doctor who did co-operate.
Hmm, that puts Mosquera's awesome climbing in a different light? |

Kai Reus is able to resume competition again, and will do so in Frankfurt this Saturday. I hope he's had enough bad luck for the rest of his career. Go Kai. |

So Fery Rabon probably won't ride TdF this year as was mentioned in winter.. At least great train for Greipel: Rabon - Goss - Greipel

If I remember correctly Bos will ride Vuelta this year. I never heard anything about him riding the Giro. |

Like I said, Bos always said in interview he'd do the Vuelta, Van Poppel said the same in pre-season interview here in dutch magazines.
Maybe Isso confused the Giro with the Vuelta I don't know. But Bos and van Poppel never spoke of that |

Probably a translator fuck-up. Because in Dutch press there is no word of it. Only Vuelta. |

Don't worry about Lance. He may be old, but he has young blood.
Spoiler Or at least he will have during the Tour

"Yes. 7 times. 6 for EPO, one for cortico.
PS: your father defended dopers in his days. explain that you hypocrite"
I actually came close to answering him the other day when he made a similar comment about the Trentino podium. It's not that I don't agree with him. It's just that he's a massive hypocrite
He is like 18 or 19. I would not pay too much attention to him. (No offense to the 18/19 year olds on the forum) |
