Astana stop for August

iainf72

That's right Astana fans, you won't be seeing your boys ripping it up for August because they've decided to stop and decide what to do next.

What are their choices? Stop completely? Come up with some new stance and sack the dodgy riders?

Their doping problems are probably caused by their dreadful kit anyway, so they should sort that out first.

How interesting that a member of the kazakh govt is already protesting Vino's innocence. This is going to heat thing up nicely over the coming weeks. Let's hope that the lab testing WAS accurate and not flawed, otherwise the real disaster starts. There can be absolutely no exoneration of the guilty riders if the whole process of scaring the teams and riders to stop doping is going to have any chance of working.

Pat McQuaid was on Irish radio last Monday week when the whole VIno thing blew up. He said that he'd already been in touch with the Kazakh president that afternoon who confirmed the committment to keep funding the team.
