Errr yeah, sure. How many months/coming up to a year have we heard that story? And how many times has it not appeared. I seriously doubt anyone will be "named" soon.
May I just reitterate my doubting was, in fact, 100% correct:
CyclingNews wrote:
UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani clarified remarks that appeared in the Guardian yesterday. "I never said that there were confirmed cases or that anything would be announced before the Giro d'Italia. Never," Carpani told Cyclingnews.

Maybe they were sure yesterday, and not so sure today.
They could be sure again tomorrow.
Stay tuned.  |

ISD may yet sign José Rujano on loan for 3 weeks to ride the Giro.
More than a decade later, Café de Colombia will be back sponsoring a team. The team is currently know as Colombia es Pasion and should be Pro Continental next year, and start riding grand tours.
CONI has summoned Luca Paolini as part of the Oil for Drugs investigation
And the funny part: Di Luca forgot he was due to start in the ITT at the Giro del Trentino, so he didn't show up at the start house and thus lost a lot of time.
Tour of Turkey will be 2.HC next year |

They could just give him the money, tell him to stay at home and achieve exactly the same thing.  |

At the last moment, Sastre has decided to skip Romandie
Also, Hushovd is a little too banged up from the classics to take part in a race as hard as the Giro, so he's changed his mind and will skip it.

Cyclingnews has become extremely annoying lately, for some reason.
And today they're at it again. Bennati's going to miss the Giro. How do they report it?
"Cavendish sprint rival out of Giro".....
I'm going to stop reading that site |

On the paper Menchov is the big favourite if I checked the right start list.

Nah, not with the TTT in mind. There's a very real chance Dekker will reach his peak here, after having trouble throughout the year, the Amstel was the turning point. If he's good in Liege, he is going to be great in Romandie.
Would be nice and symbolic, in the race were it all went wrong last year, to make a definite comeback... |

oh yeah I forgot that's a TTT. But I think that Cadel will be the leader for Silence in Romandie.

Or as Hinault did it in 1980-1981, not only in the same race, but also the same city as well.
There's something poetic about it. |

The Freiburg University enquiry into the goings on at its lab and the operations of doctors Lothar Heinrich and Andreas Schmid is final:
They consider it conclusively proven beyond any doubt that there was a systematic doping program associated to the Telekom/T-Mobile team between 1995 and 2006 (DUUH!).
They also have evidence of Klöden, along with a few now retired riders receiving doping "treatments".
The doctors are also accused of not having told the riders of the large negative impact doping has on their health in the long run.
EDIT: the investigation took two years and included the testimony of 77 witnesses, large amounts of payment receipts (for doping treatments) and the retesting of 58.000 blood and urine samples.
When contacted, Andres Klöden refused to comment.
