And he wants to sign Basso.
Will Mr Ball produce some fly "Cipo" jeans?

Well, Mr Ball signed them.
And why should anyone have a problem signing Basso?
Um... cos to all appearances he's an arrogant self serving @rse who may not be able to race effectively clean, and who has a higher than average chance of dragging your brand into the toilet at some unspecified future date?___________________

I'm also an arrogant self serving @rse but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to race as a pro. The punishment for doping is 2 years, he has done his time. I'd suggest he has a lower chance because he'll be watched closely.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

I hope Cipo confines himself to crit appearances and managing the team rather than trying to go up against the young guys or taking up a team space which younger guys deserve a shot at .but staying fit in semi retirement is a good idea, good for Cipo if true. Ease off on Tyler I say...he's now done a 3 year ban...it's enough, let him return.0

Whaddya mean. You're lovely
Fair enough but I suggest his 'I only tried to dope honest' would still drag a brand/team into the questionable. I didn't say he shouldn't be able to race: your question was why ANYONE should have a problem with hiring him. I suggest CSC, all the French teams, High Road and Astana all have good reasons not to hire him (as with TH): because he didn't hold his hands up and say 'fair cop' , appearing to think he's done nothing wrong.
If you contrast this with various levels of (yes, pressured) confession and remorse (I believe in some cases genuine) of others I suggest Basso is still a bad bet, which was my point - not that he shouldn't be allowed to race___________________

Cipo needs some dosh to pay back the 1.1 million euro the Italian taxman wants. Plus, I hear cougar food is not cheap either.0
