oh he did and everyone in the sport knows it ever since he was a junior. It's just a matter of "can they catch him?" |

Clément Lhotellerie on the UCI's passport list?
Rumours dogging French rider
Clément Lhotellerie (Skil-Shimano) is rumoured to be one of the 23 riders who "warranted further scrutiny" as part of the UCI's blood passport scheme.
The Frenchman won the mountains jersey in Paris-Nice but has been out of action since then because of a knee injury. He returned this week for the Four Days of Dunkirk, placing second in the first stage and is currently lying in second overall.
But Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad wrote that his knee injury was a "classic excuse" to avoid falling foul of the anti-doping authorities. The paper anonymously quoted a team-mate as saying that Lhotellerie was putting the Skil-Shimano team in danger because of his "shady practices."
Skil-Shimano management say they don't know whether Lhotellerie is one of the 23 riders on the UCI's question mark list.
"Really, I can't say anything," said team manager Iwan Spekenbrink to the Dutch paper. "I'm not aware of any manipulation through one of our riders, let alone been informed or warned by the UCI that someone has been manipulating [themselves]."
In comments to AFP, Lhotellerie denied that he was one of the riders targeted by the UCI, reiterating that the reason he had missed the spring classics was because of a knee injury.(JJ) |

"Canterbury, England", Zuff is that you ?
It's mostly rumours about L'Hotellerie, but, to sum it up, he didn't turn pro in any of the main French team because either, like he says, he wanted a non-French approach and a cyclo-cross focus, either because no French team wanted him despite his good results as an amateur.
Where's the truth ? I don't know... Simply he's always been reputed to use the stuff and that probably is the reason why no French sports director wanted him, whereas they didn't mind that much at Skill.
Reading he could have been suspended and might be on the 23 list (will those 23 also play the European Nations Championship next June ?  ), is anything but a surprise to me.
It's all rumours, but all go in the same way, I'm tempted to think there's no smoke without fire in such a case. No certitudes though, of course. |

Given the explanations going with it, and the lack of official press releases confirming or denying anything, I can't really see how it would be anything else than rumours at the moment.
For once I was dead serious... |

So if I guy has had quite a few reports about him being found guilty they might be rumors but if a guy gets tested 24/7 and never a hint of anything and he isn't French then he's guilty.
