AD Are the Schlecks clean?

Postby Grahame » Thu Jul 24, 2008 1:26 pm

[quote="Eurosprt"]More breaking news from Reuters: French customs officers stopped and searched a car driven by Johnny Schleck, the father of riders Frank and Andy, during Thursday's 18th stage, witnesses said. Customs officers first stopped a press car with Luxemburg number plates and searched it 35km into the day's 196.5km ride from Bourg d'Oisans to St Etienne. They then stopped a second car, driven by Johnny Schleck, whose sons are riders from Luxembourg representing the CSC team on the Tour de France. We'll keep you updated when we hear more.


So are the up-and-coming superstar brothers as squeeky clean as we like to think?

Are young Andy's superhuman efforts not 100% him?

[quote="Eurosport"]A quote from the custom officials who searched Johnny Schleck's car: "We were looking for doping substances but the check was negative so we let him (Johnny Schleck) go," a customs spokesman told Reuters.


So it looks like they are clean (or in the parlance used: not dirty) in this instance

If you get stopped by the law, asked to take a breath test, and it's negative, does that make you suspect as an alcoholic?
Too much speculation before fact about doping, IMHO. Just enjoy the racing.
BTW, ref. Sean's post headed 'Tour Trivia', I bought a pair of shoes, cheap, in El Cortez Ingles in Madrid years ago, and they are the most comfortable I've ever had. So that ensures a Sastres victory, I hope. Roger Irrelevant signing out ... :o
