Does anyone else do funny accents in their head when they read translated articles on Cyclingnews or is it just me?0

"The Leopard Trek team will not conduct any internal doping controls. Andreas Gösle, the head of the five team doctors, said that the riders are checked often enough by the International Cycling Union (UCI) with both doping controls and physical examinations."
Why does a cycling team that does that says the UCI do enough physical examinations need 5 doctors?0 -

to stop Frankie Leopard from being tempted to transfer hefty sums of money to Fuentes for what can fairly described as intent0 -
There was a case a couple of years back in Australia of several players from a rugby league club who allegedly had group sex with a woman they picked up during a team trip.
The sex wasn't concensual and it turned into a major rape investigation.
One of the players famously refused to speak with the police on the basis that he had nothing to do with it, so he had no reason to speak with the investigators.
This reminds me of the same thing. If the team has nothing to do with doping, then there's no need to do any internal checks. Trust the riders to do the right thing and hopefully they will.

Yeah, a 5 doctor team with a chief for 20 odd riders?
Sounds suspiciously like Freiburg on wheels to me.
Still, at least they have the UCI seal of approval."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

In that case, shouldn't the team be called LÉOPARD TREK? Besides, I'm not sure Luxembourgers care that much considering the letter was from TREK.0 -
With everyone shouting LEOPARD TREK,
no wonder some wag has already nicknamed them DEF LEPPARD. :P

its anagram is 'To Pedal Trek'
or if you prefer 'deal ... perk ... rot'0 -
Perhaps the anagram we'll all be looking back on later is ALTERED PORK - eh, Alberto?Between me & Eddy Merckx we've won pretty much everything worth winning on a bike.0

Wow, that's a very poor analogy. So it's the teams with internal controls that are doping then?Scottish and British...and a bit French0 -
Yeah, but as mentioned, expect they've got a resident gynaecologist? He'll be looking for some work elsewhere as expect Op Greyhound has make him persona non grate in Spain?Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Some teams that are organising the riders doping will have internal controls, they just won't notify UCI, WADA, the national associations of the positive tests &/or will organise tests when they know the riders will be negative.0 -
Pfft, internal controls.
They're not necessary and they probably stop you winning.
Who needs that sh!t?
People who don't win, that's who.0
