Kloden the next suspended rider?
http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme/breves20 ... loden.html
It seems that a German investigation into Telkom/T-Mobile has concluded that there was systematic doping going on in the team between 1995-2006, and Andreas Kloden was at the receiving end.
If anyone wants me, I'll be lying down trying to recover from the shock.

I think Pat has found his bio passport scapegoat.
After all, what's one more German cyclist down the toilet?
Wasn't there some Aussie or other?.......
.....Nah!....he rides for the new clean dream team.....or should that read dream clean team? :roll:
As Blaze says, if Klodi is busted or named, then surely there's got to be a focus on that certain Aussie, bearing in mind only him, Guerini and Kloden remain from that line-up who haven't been busted for doping yet.
Anyway, he's English speaking and rides for High Road, must be clean
Besides, are we all going to go around telling eachother how to post?
I'll be interested to see, when this official report is published, whether Kloden is sacked by Astana.
After all, if they used their "suspicious" medical programme results on Gusev to give him the boot, surely this transgression would merit the same action.
Should Rogers be in it, I would expect "Clean" Columbia to do the same.
Kessler riding in the 2006 Tour was "off the planet."
The whole T Mob squad dominated the first ITT and Honchar????
David Harmon interview T Mobile's CPO, live during the big Pyrenean stage.
When asked about the signing of Honchar, who was under a cloud of suspicion at the time, he said ALL their riders were sent to the Uni of Friebourg for extensive medical tests.

You know it goes on and what not but when you actually realise the scale of deception involved, how people inside cycling "knew" but it just carried on. Amazing.
It was the stuff about Sinkewitz getting half a litre of partially coagulated blood pumped into him and being allowed to walk away that really turned my stomach. How can you , regardless of your job or your views on doping in sport, ever believe that that's a good idea. Wasn't that what nearly killed Manzano?
That is what always gets me when people say "Well, if you were in that situation, I'm sure you would too"... With the rash of deaths in the mid-late 90s from EPO abuse, with Manzano almost expiring before our eyes on TV why on earth would you risk your life purely to be a bit more competetive? Surely you'd just give up and go and do something else? Maybe it's the same reflex in me that stops me taking a line i can't see through a corner on a descent, but it just seems like madness.

It's more likely it was because of an introduction by Ulle's prepatore
Seems like the doctors did very nicely out of T-moblie, they get paid for medical support and then they get paid by the riders for there needs?
I suppose the tin opener will be lost before the whole can of worms can be opened.
I kind of laughed.
