I've enjoyed Sporza's streams to watch the Flemish races. Now it seems there's a Belgian dispute going on between Bruyneel and the broadcaster.
The row came to the surface on Wednesday evening when Sporza showed footage of Lance Armstrong being asked by the team's PR-manager Philippe Maertens to ignore its journalist at the finish line in Perpignan. Armstrong didn't seem to know what was going on and said, “but these are your compatriots,” and eventually walked away.
So it seems even this one is leaving Armstrong scratching his head. It seems silly that we have spats like this. Reminiscent of Alex Ferguson and the BBC I suppose, and equally childish perhaps?

    Power rots the minds of those who should not be allowed anywhere near it but get lucky sometimes, or cheat as is the flavour of the month.

    just like 2003, 2004, 2005 all over again...
    it seems that JB forgot to update LA on the new "blacklist".
