No wonder Kohl and Dekker managed to slip under Lotto's radar, as it's obviously switched off.
Their latest possible PR blunder:-

    Silence is looking at hiring a new doctor: José Ibarguren

    This is ridiculous given he has worked with: Fuij-Servetto, Euskaltel-Euskadi and Saunier Duval

    ...he was the team Dr at Saunier/Fuji , not Ricco's personal Dr,...and likewise at Euskatel he was team Dr. The thread title suggests he was the personal Dr of the doped riders..when he was not. He looked after the whole team...

    Yeah, let's not be unfair to the guy. He wasn't the doctor to one doped rider, but many. Give credit where credit is due. :roll:

    why do you assume the whole Euskatel or Saunier team were doped...most of them are thrown together for a season or two and don't even have friendship..why do we assume they suddenly all join team wide doping and have that information about each other-there are 25 of them..some may hate each other and share nothing of what they do privately . IMO there is reasonable chance riders act alone or with a small group of friends doping via drs outwith their team. Who gave Ricco the dope?

    He took advise on doping from Di Luca's family doctor Santuccione.

    fair enough...Ricco went outside of Saunier with his team mate, whose name I can't remember, which is like Millar, who went out with Cofidis to dope, like TylerH and others who like went to a private and well known man for their stuff. I think some of the team Drs are not idiiots and will stick strictly to their job of monitoring the riders health, not doping them.

    To be fair, you've got to be a pretty shonky doctor not to suspect Ricco of being doped up.
