This is the first year of Argos in the WT, so what was the point of that observation? |

People! What is suspicious team? Can you name a WT team without any dope case in history?
Fair point, bur come on, who is more "dirty looking" than Katusha in last three,four years? I am not saying all that allegations are true, but hey Colom, Pfannberger, Galimzyanov, all caught. Kolobnev rumoured to sell his win at L-B-L. Also him being linked to Ferrari with Menchov, Gusev and Ignatiev, not mentioning Lance doping collegue Ekimov leading the team.
To be honest also Rodriguez is not the Mr. Clean for me, but that is another story...important is he had/has the choice and so far he is staying because of money as i see it.

Boonen to be out of the Tour of Qatar due to his injury.
And Kemna admitted doping in 2003. So Argos had to suspend him. |

Indeed. However, his recovery is going good so far. He might go for a first ride Sunday. Hoping he'll be alright by the opening weekend in Belgium! |

Volta ao Algarve 2013
Stage 1, Faro - Albufeira, 199 km
Stage 2, Lagoa - Lagoa, 195 km
Stage 3, Portimão - Alto do Malhão (Loulé), 193 km

Bit too long TT imo with only just Malhão.

Does anyone have even the slightest shred of evidence on RodrÃguez?
Didn't think so.
Leave the guy alone unless something actually surfaces.

Man, you gotta give props for LeMond. The guy really always has been uncompromising against doping, even back then when it was considered normal and a positive only carried a 10 minute GC time suspension

Not sure whether to laugh or cry was the better option when Armstrong said he could find (pay ?) 10 people to testify they saw him (LeMond) use EPO.  |

Greg Lemond was clean. Or I will die in a hole.

Trying some ethos. Not bad. He's trying. But he's a bad liar.

But the internet didn't even exist. How did it happen?  Mind blown.

Strange that you say that, as maybe half of people you speak about related to doping is only speculations based on which team the riders were on, or results and similar circumstantial evidence, not actual facts and now it is bad when pointed on Rodriguez...but hey, i will leave him alone.

isso does talk a lot about doped riders, but usually he has a lot of arguments. Maybe not always direct proof but if not, then a lot of circumstantial evidence.
And I also think Rodriguez is clean. |

It will be interesting to see how he does. He always uses that as his warm up race and without it there is a chance that he won't have enough form.

Note I never said he was. Simply as far as I know there's nothing on him.
Sure he's been on several very dodgy teams as team leader, but so was Charly Mottet who was clean
