    American beef is doped with hormones and banned in Europe as a result. :)

    AND their website is being remodelled so you can't find out about them. Although logical, it is slightly unusual for a Mexican firm to be called "American Beef", even if technically Mexico is part of North America. Why are they in Mexico? Are they trying to get hormone beef into Spain? I do love cycling sponsors, such a varied bunch.

    So... American beef is banned in Europe but American Beef's Mexican beef is available? I assume it must be otherwise why sponsor a European cyclng team?

    That's I why I went to the website to try to figure out what was going on. I had the thought that since "American" beef was banned, this was a way to get it into Europe, since it apears to be "Mexican", but I really thought I should check. In any case it is going to take more work to figure it out. No doubt it is possible. So strange these new sponsors. Used to be easier with heating systems and banks and computer guys and pen manufacturers. Who knows what they make and advertise and why these days. I guess it is just a normal case of big money coming into sport.

    But whatever. (they are not the only ones getting into McDonalds) (why is there so much obesity)

    It is American Beef, along with Argentinian, Brazil, Canada and all the other countries on that Continent.

    That's the Joke that the US stand there with their Flag and sing "God Bless America".

    I smile every time they do.

    As The Pub Landlord once put it;

    "God bless America; I'm not ashamed to say that, 'cos being British I don't mean it."

    "American Beef, full of drugs, banned in Europe "

    - presumably that's referring to Postal / Disco and Astana

    - rather than Slipstream or HighRoad

    :lol:
