  1. I've been away (mentally) for a bit. I haven't heard anything about
    doping in a while. I thought maybe the sport was clean again. Then I
    saw that Saiz was arrested on doping charges. Is this something to do
    with Heras or is this something new? What happened to Heras anyway?
    Was he found guilty?

    They tapped his line. Also got the doctor Eufemiano Fuentes and a few others
    and a couple of ex riders. Seems it was an affair of (auto) transfusions.
    The doctor has been Heras's personal doctor for several years.

    Heras was found guilty and stripped of his 2005 Vuelta win.

    BTW, I'm sure that now that they got Saiz, the sport is clean again. He was
    the last rotten one left.

    Doping? I always thought his riders did well because of the way he shouted
    "venga venga venga venga".

  4. Thanks. Now I see the cyclingnews report. I thought auto-transfusions
    were too complicated and expensive?

  5. "I thought maybe the sport was clean again."

    Exactly when was it clean the first time?

  6. Roberto is selling his Vuelta bike on eBay... I think this is a sign
    he's giving up the ghost.

    AFP is reporting that the investigation involves Autologus blood doping and
    blood cleansing so as to pass drug tests.

    Fuentes has an interesting history. He is friendly with Checcini(sp?) and
    has done favors for him relaying message to riders. He was also the Kelme
    doctor implicated by Jesus Manzano in the Kelme doping scandal. Fuentes
    also followed Alvero Pino to Phonak and has some involvement there before
    the clean sweep to keep their Pro Tour participation alive. Tugboat can't
    be happy.

    More attenuated (depending on the relationship between Saiz and Fuentes),
    but a possible road of future inquiry, is who came out of his ONCE team,
    people like Zulle and Johan Bruyneel, and their relationship, if any, to
    Fuentes.

    Dumbass -

    Tugboat has been burning in hell for some time now.

    thanks,

    WOW! I want to buy it just so I can tell my riding pals this:

    "The exclusive HVP (Harmonic Vibration Profile) profiles of the
    horizontal and upper rear tubes, slightly angled, are not there just for
    aesthetic reasons. They are based on an important physical principle and
    help to dissipate high frequency vibrations efficiently – an important
    cause of fatigue. This provides unbeatable comfort that has never been
    offered by any carbon frame before. The almost complete elimination of
    critical torsion points offers the best guarantee of a long life."

    I would be the Fredliest of the Freds if I can parrot all that!

    Sweet how it says

    C of BB to C of seat tube: N/A
    C of BB to T of seat tube: N/A
    C of BB to T of seat: N/A
    Top tube length (C-C): N/A
    Tip of saddle nose to C of bars: N/A
    C of front wheel to top of bars: N/A

    I think those are the bikes where everyone on the team has to ride the
    same size frame. So it fits everyone!

    BH makes frames in S, M, L, ... Not unusual on a sloping frame, where
    something like C of BB to C of seat tube doesn't tell you that much. The
    one in the add is a Small.

    It's well known on RBR[*] that excessive bleach jobs
    are an attempt to hide doping, by throwing off hair tests.
