Popo is in the dots!
Soler definately fits the Rumsas theory.
I feel bad for Discovery haters out there right now. But there's more tests left...who knows? lol.

Of course its soler.. He is a rider who is badly known, and suddenly he rides together with the big favorites. Btw, he is the most ugly rider in the peleton, not his foult.. Did you see the way he was riding in the mountains? It's not slalom! And he looks like a 60 year old!..
oh, I'm not nice right now.. Sorry.

I don't hate Discovery. just Bruyneel's antics and some doped riders that he hires 
as for Soler fitting the Rumsas theory, we hadn't really discussed that one 
the last time we'd stuck by the Garzelli-Mayo theory or somesuch. riders that "magically" drop their performance when the drug tests are upped.
EDIT: still nothing on the big websites...

Well almost all south american's claim to be 4-7 years younger then they really are. So I think Soler(if he isn't caught doped) will retire in 2 or 3 years.  |

The funniest thing is that tv commentators for eurosport romania said during today's stage as a joke that Soler needs to be caught doped so that Contador could have all the distinctive jerseys except the one for the best sprinter |

News on this:
Unconfirmed reports have said that a prominent rider tested positive on last Sunday's Pyrenean stage to Plateau de Beille.
Tour de France organisers ASO have called a press conference for 11 am on Saturday, where they are expected to elaborate further on the situation.
So at 11, we'll find out more

Barloworld better not have to withdraw, i mean think of Geraint, the youngest rider in the tour at 21yrs old and has to abandon with 1 day to Paris
if he does have to abandon i will kill Soler, Geraint has worked too hard to stay in this tour to be chucked out because of him

According to TV2 Norway, the press conferance was actually about the future of the tour and the conflict between ASO and UCI.
And according to the Tour-boss, no new rider has tested positive. And he blaimed the media for spreading rumors.
TV2 also says that Soler has been reported beeing sighted in the starting area.

so, he admitted there is a positive?
when will they reveal who it was?
the only reason I can imagine for them not revealing right away is:
they're hoping Evans gets yellow today so they can suspend Contador without having to suspend the maillot jaune. |

that's a good theory, i am still hoping that it is Rasmussen, but i doubt they would be delaying their answer like this,
i'm just so glad it's not Soler, for Geraint's sake

No , they didnt admit that there was a positive , they did the opposite : say everything was rumours. |
