anti-doping policy they are more or less obliged to be
hypocrits.Benjo Maso

police staging hotel raids every other day. The last thing
the Giro organizers want is the news to be led off by
police reports and footage of riders being taken for
questioning. just my $.02 Bill C -

you an unfair advantage, I'm back in training. Actually, if
Beamish gives you an unfair advantage, I guess I'm already

A few. [/B]A comment of my own is that I feel bad for Valverde. His form was so good and I like the way he rides just trying to win every race that he is in. Of course if he was doping then I don't feel so bad for him.

Since it looks like he'll be relegated to races in Spain he'll probably be taking a lot more.

the two points jerseys and the combination jersey he took
home with him. I hate to say it, but the best thing for
Valverde will be if Kelme folds, leaving him to jump
elsewhere. I started a speculative thread about where he
might go a while back... dare I suggest he might want to
follow Oscar Sevilla to Phonak?-Sonarrat.

they're the longest running team still racing and they
deserve a second chance. But they also deserve a kick in the
ass which they have assuredly received. -
