I can not believe it, Di Luca's ban reduced, ludicrous. Helping out investigators gets your ban reduced, he committed the offence whether he helps or not, he should serve is ban. What is going on, letting cyclists off lightly is encouraging others to do, then we will never get rid of these dopers.

On the ridiculous anti-Torri protest, Wiggins has something to say:
Lots of stickers and aload of returning riders from Ban's are going to change cycling tommorow! Can't wait
Full of win.

This sudden anti-Torri movement keeps growing. Now Liquigas will sue Torri for 5M€, because he "damaged the image" of Biri..I mean Basso's, and Nibali's successes.

Saxo Bank has stated that they will continue sponsoring Team Saxo Bank, no matter what Contador's case ends with. |

Vino proves once again he's not only not trustworthy but he also has no idea how to manage people...
"Roman can lead the Giro team, then work for me at the Tour"
uhh....

This, and still thinking he can win the TdF. In my opinion, Kreuziger can get a better result in the Tour rather than the Giro. |

I would do the same, because coming with such allegations saying "every pro cyclist is doped" is pathetic and not true.
And the case with Basso is over since he has taken his punishment, it would be better to see the links to Contador, Sanchez and Valv.Piti (even if he has been taken it was very late and not to mention that it was done by the Italian federation). |

Has it been mentioned here that Torri apologised publicly less than 24 hours after his first (idiot, I admit) statement ?
Yet the protest is going on... |

1. He apologised.
2. That's what his experience as anti-doping prosecutor tells him. And he doesn't say "Everyone dopes", but "I think everyone dopes". There's a difference there, and I can understand why he thinks that way.
I agree it's stupid to say that openly, but to sue him for that? Still waiting for a team, a rider or whoever to denounce the riders who dope. This is hipocrisy at its best. |

Two more positives: From the portuguese ITT champs. Still waiting on the B samples. No names released.

Would laugh if he is going to Vacansoleil and then he is one of these 2 guys 
But probably these guys are from a minor team.
Where did you read about the Portuguese? Was trying to google around but couldn`t find any hint out there.

I don't know how controlled riders are chosen there, but it'd make sense that the podium and a couple of other riders would be controlled. The chances that riders who finished on the podium are concerned are quite high, IMO. |

That would be hilarious.
Personally I'm rooting for Devolder to be the next guy to make Van der Schueren cry.

Most likely, considering almost every rider there was from a minor team.

I'm magic!
It was Luis Horta, president of the portuguese anti-doping entity who divulged the cases.

I'd laugh if it was Rui Costa and his brother Mario Costa (1st and 3rd)

Didn`t know that his brother was 3rd. Makes it at least more possible than before. |
