UCI with possibly WADA observers for the dopage testing

By the end of the day I expect we'll have a posting explaining why Mr Clerc was booted out of the ASO.

    Pat is a d ick.

    Anyway, the AFLD can test who they want when they want.

    Time for a few brown envelopes and forged passports.
    Not hard to guess where this is all heading.

    That'll be no positives then - assured. Why don't they just go the whole hog and just get the teams to sponsor the drug testing programme? Or make it a competition within a competition, complete with jersey, podium presentation and so forth. But there's still room for AFLD to provide official waste management services?
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Maybe I should ask FF this, but the only DS I ever see with McNut in a photo, is the Belgian belly.
    Do we have any photos of him chatting with the likes of Marc Madiot or....erm.....Mr Gianetti?

    calm down calm down said in best scouser accent............... this was inevtiable after last years Tour and Pierre Bodry's grandstanding and puffing out his chest. and waxing lyrical about how many more cheats he was gonna catch .

    1) AFLD have had their funding cut and are not likely to be in a position to undertake a full scale operation at the TdF
    2) Ferrand is spouting the UCI line from their report rebutting the AFLD accusations
    3) Are WADA going to be better bedfellows than AFLD? I know Pound is no longer there but the UCI might get a nasty surprise
    4) Surely the AFLD will simply continue to test without the financial pressures of having to stage a full scale TdF operation?
