Pat's holding a conference tomorrow morning in France (I think)

On the agenda

- What they've agreed with the AFLD after last years Tour
- Update on the UCI's position on the Mekon
- Biological Passport update
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    It'll be ironic if it's in France, given it's one year on from the "wildcat" edition of Paris-Nice last year which the UCI refused to sanction.

    I wonder if the bio passport update will include the beginning of procedures against some riders? Presumably not, since the individuals concerned will be notified and once this starts happening, things will start leaking out, riders drop out of races and more.

    He's doing the conference with the head of the FCC,so I guess everyone is playing nice now.

    On the passport thing I reckon he'll say they're days or weeks away from releasing the results. And then try baffle everyone by telling us what the CDS pricing on the passports is :wink:

    Is McQuaid "jacking"?

    According to CN it's a joint press conference with Bordry of AFLD?

    Give the whole field a 2-year ban and find some young 12 yr old juniors to race for free. (But total body hemoglobin test them too).

    But I actually get a feeling that McQuaid might be up to something (besides smoking cannabis.)

    On a big 'bust' maybe. IF they said they would santion some people then they will.

    No, just excluding 5 teams fro P-N with a few hours notice based on non-payment of Passport monies!
