What´s so funny about it? Endurance sport on such a high level increases the risk of a heart failure, as does doping. And which team was he riding for? Katusha, so don´t be too naive again.

Also, T-Mobile in the past

EDIT:
The cyclingnews article says:
"Xipamide, the substance found in Schleck's urine, is not specifically mentioned on WADA's prohibited substance list."
So what is his arrest based on? And it pretty much confirms what i said earlier, he only need good lawers to get away without a 2-year ban.

Could be. But Sources say he has genetic defect of heart and it was an accident waiting to happen |

Have I insulted you?
It's not a generalisation, it's just my opinion. There are too many cases, there is too much evidence.
Even if 99 % would (still) be doping, you're insulting the 1 % remaining.
And they're probably way more than 1 %, FYI. It's not early 1998 any more. |

Linking EPO and mononucleosis is okay, but you should really not start talking about doping in the cases of young athletes dieing of heart attacks.

Here's the thing: Frank's only possible defense is that he took it as a weight loss drug.
But he said before the Tour that he was maybe too light already. So, he can't use that excuse.

Contaminated supplement/food? I can smell this already.

I wish I knew. Don't think he's arrested though, just taken in for questioning most likely.

I really miss all these BIG names, and many many GC stars.
Most of these guys was forced out because of O.P Puerto and made a comeback way weaker than before.
We are losing so many fantastic and entertaining riders because of this stupid system.
The surface of the cycling world does look cleaner but come on, everything is still going on as always. They are just better at hiding it. Maybe they should let it be that way, or accept doping as a part of cycling and let everyone dope up to the exact same haemotocrit value.
Yeah, let's come back to before 1998. Cycling wasn't dying back then. Only riders (who cares about those ?).
Victories make riders stars, not their speed. Otherwise I'll tell you that cyclists look pitiful compared to MotoGP drivers.
There are thousands of amateur cyclists ready to sign as pro and do their job with integrity. Why should we not bust the cheaters ? That's against morality.
Also, doping and entertainment are related ? How so ? Truly, there's no connection between those. At worst doping makes tactics even more boring.
And lastly, doping doesn't work the same for everyone. Heck, with my 39-40 % of haematocrites, it'd still be time for me to turn pro. |

Do you really think that'd prevent him from using it ? |
