Looks like Frank Schleck has been outed as another customer of the drug dealing Dr Fuentes... he's protesting his innocence at the moment but if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...
I'm picking 2 years for Schleck the elder. Same as what Basso got without actually testing positive.

Makes you wonder about what his old man might really have been up to on the Tour to make the Gendarmes want to pull him over...
I see they're testing all the samples they took on the Tour for CERA - that may prove interesting too.

What it makes me wonder, is just how effective CSC would have been in working over Cadel Evans up Alpe D'Huez if Frank Schleck wasnt there.

Doesn't mean he was doping this year, the accusations are based on activity in 2006.

In house testing is a load of tihs.
There will be guys in those "clean" teams still cheating and they get by with the use of masking agents or substances not detectable yet.

Everyone should read "breaking the chain" by ylliw voet, Onnog lent it to me, wow changes the way you look at doping thats for sure. It makes you feel that most likely just about the whole peloton is on stuff but then it also makes you think twice about if doping is actually that bad. They treat it liek 'supplementing' rather than anything. fascinating.
ok tangent over

It'll make Riis look very bad - it's alleged he escorted riders to Fuentes.
Would suck - because if the sport loses Saxo Bank as a sponsor, it'll be felt hugely.

Get of lozz next time he’s in the peloton bigjim, would have text you to ask, but it’s like I’m texting a wall lately .
Was a nice book, think its the first book I’ve read in ages, knda got hooked by it. Got to read when that book was published bro, no doubt things have changed on both sides.

Ah you knnow me, usual story mate. No credit on the phone at the moment so nothing personal! Hope you had a good ride with the Palms lot this morning, I would have joined you but needed to be back by 9am to rip out our old shower - the new crib is starting to look a bit more bling bling now haha ;-]
You wat to get back into our morning rides and coffee again soon Johno? The 7am caffeine hits will be great training for FoC.

Yea we can go for a ride Friday morning, we will ride that colnago crit circuit, make a mental note of where it is, no chance of me finding it 
Can start 6 or 6.15 from mine so maybe 6.30 somewhere? The coffee culture we used to go to might be to far from the new place? Select another that opens early and has the new ride magazine for lozz to shoplift  .
