    Isn't this old news? He was one of those allegedly buying from Joe Papp over the Internet.

    Read a Belgian tweet that was saying she was at one of the homes which was being raided and tried to make an escape but the plod caught her.

    Confessed? Where did you get that from?

    Latest on l'equipe website is that Ciprelli is to face a judge on Friday, while Michel Lucatelli (French Cross-country Ski team coach) is to be freed on the grounds that he only received an EPO delivery for Ciprelli.

    Ciprelli is apparently claiming that his bank cards and internet adresses (sic) were hacked.

    sometimes the rest of the world takes a while to catch up.

    I was watching the French news about this and it seems that the authorities were pretty determined to act after the FFC didn't.

    I briefly spoke to Jeannie Longo myself only last week at the velodrome in Geneva where we were both at a training session. I wonder if she will turn up this Saturday!

    Stares sadly at the screen as another hero(ine) turns out to have feet of clay.

    laest the AFLD are doing something about this and not ignoring it because she is a national hero.

    I know the women's division is a bit thinner on the ground but I guess this explains how she could keep going into her 50s.

    Her husband is still saying it was just for him and nothing to do with her though
