Sort of spoils the upbeat news on Kennaugh taking the KOM jersey.
Young riders with dodgy blood values.
Are we any closer to a solution?
I think not.

    severely disappointing - makes you wonder what the DS' of these youth teams are up to, whether epo or forms of doping there will be someone either turning a blind eye or providing resources to do this...

    should the DS' be banned from holding a race licence indefinitely if there is a positive test on their watch ???

    remove the whole team mid race ? harsh on the other riders....

    Blaze, you're so negative.

    Youngsters are all clean.

    And 40km/h is slower than 39km/h.

    Armed with these 2 facts we can all move into a new cleaner cycling.

    Erick Rowsell is racing! He cleaned up at my local crits in 2007. His Palmares is pretty impressive and will hopefully be great in the future.

    Is that Joanna Rowsell's brother? If so, must be some good genes in that family.

    It's sad as the scene in Italy and Spain is still riddled with these problems, there will be many turning pro this year who have become used to the ideas of "preparation" and "professionalism" and see doping as part of the job.

    For all it's hard work on Valverde, Italy's CONI needs to look closer to home but it's very much like the "Whack A Mole" game, you hit one guy and two pop up moments later but more so in some countries than others.
