RCS want to start a best tour battle with TdF..
and dirty way it is..
Italians and french have always discussed who has the best tour. It seems like what counts is who has the most spectular route and who has the best stars. |

It's a conspiracy to kill cycling. Astana gets invited, and UCI will reveal the 4 riders who'll face bans and the 23 riders list during the Giro, that will cause Astana to be thrown out and discredit cycling for good. 
Not sure whether I'm joking or just guessing... |

You're forgetting Bryuneel Aqua. No riders of his will ever get caught. |

True. The legal aspect of these passports are yet to be tested though. |

No big surprise there... But 14 cyclists? Isn't it a bit too much at this point?

Lotto have fired Volodymir Bileka, Popovych's "soul-mate". Guess why.
EDIT:
Zaterdag 3 mei jl, heeft de renner Volodymyr Bileka, per fax de ploegleiding op de hoogte gebracht dat hij ontslag neemt uit Belgian Cycling Company nv en de wielerploeg Silence-Lotto en dit om persoonlijke redenen.
De ploegleiding aanvaardt het ontslag en wenst hem succes toe in zijn verdere loopbaan.
funny how it's always "personal reasons", eh?

This gets better and better. Pat McQuaid has said to Gazetta dello Sport that he wants Basso as an anti-doping ambassador. He compares Basso's case with Millar's and says that those cases look a lot alike. |

actually they do. the difference is Millar is looked at as a saviour for some insane reason.

That pisses me off big time.
Then he had the nerve to critisize dopers at last years tour,he should keep his head down and shut up.

he served the right length of ban and returned to try and improve the sport
i would think it fine for basso to return and do the same
however i don't think it is right for liquigas to break the rules of the ethics charter just to get a rider who could win something - it hradly promotes the sport in a good light

You just can't have a doper recently banned head an anti-dope campaign.
Be it Millar or Basso
