Well on his website he says he hopes to be back around july/august so thats 3 months at least. Also aparantly he didn't loose a tooth his jaw just had split so much that it looked that way. He had an operation on that and is on liquids for 6 more weeks
I reckon Bos should get 6 because Impey was pretty close to being paralysed.

The german federation is going to ban Schumacher for life. That's the end of his career then.

Great idea on Bos being suspsended until Impey is back. Impey is in a real bad way, his jaw broke into 3, he had to have it wired up and will only be able to eat through a straw for a while. He's also fractured his back, so can barely walk at the moment.
Great news on Schumacher

Bos was in South Africa?
I find that very unlikely

Cyclismag published an interview with Impey a short time ago where Impey called Bos a hypocrite and said he never even called.
The next day, Bos called.
So, I'd say "hypocrite" is well deserved.

there are up to 50 countries in europe depending on who you ask. 5-10 of those countries have the benefit of the extra races you tried to make a point about. that means there are a lot more countries then the US who are in the same situation as the US.
The point is that for an American on the "Pro"(tour/continental) level to race regularly then you have to live in Europe. That is not globalization.
If you make points that are nonrelated to population then i dont see how you can fight counter arguments with population. I used Sweden as an example to show you that your theory about the US being different. There are many more countries in Europe that have no trouble to overcome the hurdle you said the US wouldn't be able to cross. I would think having a bigger population would even help.
I'm not going to continue to repeat myself for your benefit. there are 3000 miles of ocean between the east coast of the US to the west coast of europe. If the rider lives on the west coast (as most pros do) then it is a further 3000 miles of travel. That is not a short trip. that is a huge pain in the ass. If a Spanish rider wants to race in France he gets on a train and rides for a few hours. Geography and size DO matter and the US IS different from Sweden.
With the current system American cyclist have to live in Europe in order to race more than 3 times per year, if they ride for a Pro Tour/ Pro Continental team. That is NOT globalization.
I dont see the point in you saying you are not a fan of Lance when your actions and words show something different.
This rule does not hurt Lance does it dumbshit. it hurts BMC. It hurts Garmin, It hurts Columbia, it hurts Cervelo, it hurts American team's who want to go to the next level.
But since you are lowering yourself to using foul language i will probably not answer your next post. I assume you do that cause you dont have any arguments left or fail in delivering them. shame.
You have no arguments what so ever, and no-one else is telling me I am wrong(not even isso which is a nice nuance). Its only you, who seems to have developed a fetish for pissing me off. So i am not going to apologize for my warranted foul language. You can't just call the high road and flip the bird. In my book that is capitulation. If you know you are wrong, just say it and make my life easier.

The sad truth is we've given up on you ever being reasonable.

I guess Redondo's going to be the first victim of the new 4 year doping ban.

Bos - 1-6 months? I'm just glad that he gets a ban and doesn't get away with this.
Schumacher banned for life? Perfect.
Another ex-Astana caught? Perfect.
... and Valverde's still going down. This just gets better and better. |

strange is that he is an ex-Astana guy. Just like those who rode for US Postal. When they are there aren't caught, after they leave they are tested positive. So Bruuynel really knows how dope them

Ho now. It isn't sure Bos will get a ban, he will have to come forward and defend himself first.
Bos had contact with Impey now and explained his side of the story. |

Yes, Bos contacted him after Impey publically had complained that Bos hadn't reacted at all - well done  |

Good news everyone!
Kai Reus is now well enough to start in a ProTour race. Catalunya in two weeks.

Ehhhmmm, Redondo left Astana after 2007 because he did not respect their new anti-doping program. Bruyneel took over the team in 2008, the new Astana has nothing to do with Redondo and Bruyneel has never managed him. Get your facts straight |

sorry. Then it's strange how he wasn't caught then, like Mazzolleni, Kessler, Vinokurouv or Kash.
