  1. - It’s could be the day some were dreading and others were praying for: according to reports emanating from Spain, the Spanish Cycling Federation is poised to follow the lead of the Italian Olympic Committee’s exoneration of Ivan Basso and close all disciplinary proceedings against riders involved in Operacion Puerto. The news follows the investigating judge’s statement last week that none of the evidence collected by the Guardia Civil can be used by sporting federations to impose sanctions. Meanwhile, the criminal case which sees Eufemiano Fuentes suspected of masterming a vast doping network remains ongoing. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the estimated 200 bags of blood seized in the initial wave of arrests in May are currently undergoing analysis in a Barcellona laboratory. In an interview with Le Monde on Monday, UCI president Pat McQuaid hinted that he still harbours hopes of penalising riders identified as Fuentes’ clients, possibly by appealing the Court of Arbitration for Sport. McQuaid reiterated his recent claims that new information on the implicated riders could come to light soon.

  2. What is really interesting that the Spanish federation sued the Madrid court in order to force them to give out the documents. The Spanish federation is considering to close the cases against their riders because the judge made comments about the case, it's expected that the Spanish federation will lose and won't get the additional documents.

    In other news the CPA (riders organisation) voted (all a yes 100%) against the code of conduct. The riders demand that no more riders are suspended just becuase of allegatons and say it doesn't work anyway since some riders are allowed to race others are not.
