After he was named in the Puerto scandal he had trouble finding a team. Then LPR signed him. He did nothing or almost nothing the whole year and at the end of the year his contract wasn't renewed.
That was 2007. He couldn't find a team for 2008 like many other Puerto riders. Like his two brothers.
Spanish people might be able to tell you more, as they follow spanish riders more closely, of course.

It's pretty weird with these puerto dopers, they where tour contenders in 2006 and now they are racing in China and Mexico for small teams, or not even finding teams.
I wonder how the cycling world would have been today had the events in 2006 not happened. |

Not happened? In fact, it didn't really happen. You still see A.C. and Valv.Piti ruling the world of cycling, don't you? |

If Valv. Piti is really Valverde i don't see how you can say he is dominating the world. One stage win in the tour. Dauphine, veulta wins and LBL. That's not total season domination if you ask me. But Contador yes 2 grand tours. 2 Veulta mountain top finish wins. I'm spectacle about Conta. But no a days I'm not about Valverde i think he was on something but i think he is more of a pure riders now a days. Please dont "Valverde FTW" and me being a fan of valverde cloud my opinion either please. |

Well you're forgetting he won the Spanish championship, Vuelta a Murcia and San sebastian and became UCI Protour champion. Combine that with Contador his results and together they did dominate the season in my opinion.
Name 1 rider that has had better results this season then Valverde besides Contador? |

Valverde has overall had the best results this year - just look at the CQ rankings: https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...?current=1

In fact, Valverde was the best this year with ... Contador in 2nd. So I was completely right in my statement. The OP-riders are dominating. |

No the puerto riders aren't dominating mike.
Valv(Piti) does not refer to Valverde and Piti being his dog's name plus many riders being referred to in the documents by their dog's names is all one big coincidence.
Also, A.C. in one document does not refer to Contador. The fact that another document says "A.C. (Alberto Contador)" is also another huge coincidence.
Don't accuse the riders without evidence CrueTrue, it's not fair
Don't you see they've just been caught in a huge coincidence. Just like so many riders justify it with coincidence. For instance, Schumacher has always said his 3 doping run ins were all coincidences....and he's a clean ri....oh wait, bad example.
