  1. Vandenbroucke loses Unibet.com contract
    Unibet.com management has lost patience with Frank Vandenbroucke and reached
    an amicable arrangement with the rider to cancel his contract, after several
    seasons marred by doping scandals. This latest setback for VDB could spell
    the end of his career.

    Terry Koen, Unibet.com's directeur sportif said, "I do not want him any more
    in my team. I was sufficiently patient, but in the end, no valid result
    rewarded this indulgence. You can count his days of racing on the fingers of
    the two hands. We wish to integrate [the team into the] ProTour. But with
    people like VDB, we lose our credibility. I indeed believed in his return. I
    was mistaken. It is really regrettable."

    Vandenbroucke has ridden for Cofidis and Quick-Step during his career and
    won Liege-Bastogne-Liege in 1999.

    Maybe the Navigators could offer him a contract. $xx per race finish. I
    would be fun to see him race in New Jersey and driving a Camaro down the
    "joysee turnpike".

    I'm pretty sure he turns to dust if he rides a bike outside
    continental Europe.
