Favoured team?

[TimNick]

And the results (from 2008 retesting are)......drum roll please.....

...nobody!

....that's amazing, not even a few small names as sacrificial lambs!

....urm without wanting to sound like a character from an Oliver Stone film (surley the choice of director for the Armstrong bio-pic incidently..ha ha), isn't it a tad ironic the UCI 'let slip' they don't think much of or of using the AFLD to oversee dope testing for TDF etc just days before the release of results. What with the new 'love-in' between Prudhomme and McQuaid ('keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer!') we don't want nasty drug results pi*sing over the 'new world order'.....

Marco, you know they'll never retest the Giro samples properly....they'd have to ban half the Italian domestic peleton when the results came through (or make them race in Portugal for a level playing field!), sponsors would pull out and Italian cycling would go into complete meltdown....more conspiracies - I'm no defender of Valverde, but how come CONI are so desperate to catch him rather than getting their own house in order...doth think diversionary tatics are in play!?

RE: Bosisio - what a bloomin' suprise, did you see the work he did for a certain 'druggie' team leader in the Giro this year .....it was superhuman (quite literally)...

Right, so predictions on the first major signing in the off season who then tests positive and as his new contract's torn up?


...and finally so Astana are a favoured Team..urm Astana, Armstrong, Radioshack, US Cycling market opportunity, Tour Of California, UCI world expansion, ASO marketing deal, Armstrong (again!)......'everyone's a winner' so shhhh on any poss spanners in the wheels...
