I guess that explains why he pulled out of the Cervelo job.
He didn't pull out of it, really. He did have trouble with the current general manager meaning that they terminated Sunderland's contract after 'mutual agreement'.
However, when he became available on the market, he was pretty much bound to sign with the new British team
A German professor is saying that a new EPO product is being use - it's called hematide. It has the same 'pros' as EPO, but has a different structure, meaning that it's currently undetectable.
However, it's likely that it'll be the same history as with CERA. They're working on a test, but are currently awaiting some information from the distribitutor - and all the sudden, it'll be detectable
Concerning the doping discussion, Sella had told CONI that Priamo was his supplier. Due to that, Priamo was set for a 4 year suspension. However, CONI now says that they haven't found any evidence and that Priamo therefore will go free.
Time will tell if this will have consequences for Sella.
Fuji-Servetto has decided to go to CAS to get invited to Paris-Nice, Tirreno and MSR.

yeah i heard about this through twitter. Lance, Johan have both said "that took guts to ride out" or something to that effect.
Also Levi just wrote the following 2 posts
Levi_LeipheimerThe thing that hurts the most is throwing my leg over the bike getting on or off. Thanks for all the messages, Twitter is cool.

Also on Astana injury front: Vaitkus has fractured head of the radius bone in the elbow says Johan
Twitter is actually great, great cycling news comming through via various teams.

Not just any bone, broke his sacrum according to the Astana website. The sacrum is the part of the pelvis that connects the two wings to the lumbar spine. Amazing that he was able to ride.

Thats even crazier. Reminds me of either Kloden or Vinokourov (I can't remember) who rode the 2007 tour with a broken coccyx, and of Hamilton with the collar bone
