    oh go on- name names LL

    Nobody really important. Chris Sutton is one...Even if some riders are stupid enough to continue to support Armstrong, you'd think they would be better off just keep shtum.

    Pffft.

    Seems the old guys are intent on keeping up the tradition of the June doping scandal, in spite of the new generation's efforts not to.

    They got no respect for tradition.

    When you're the Daddy you can be a ****. But when your patronage is no longer needed you're vulnerable. Glad this has stopped his bastardisation of another sport (?) if that's what triathlon is.

    The letter accuses not only Armstrong, but also five associates, including three doctors and team manager Johan Bruyneel. It says that they "engaged in a massive doping conspiracy from 1998-2011" and cites the testimony of more than 10 cyclists. Michele Ferrari is one of the named doctors.

    In its letter, USADA says Armstrong used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents as well as distributed them and administered them to others.

    S'pose I could allow myself just an incy-wincy drop of bubbly... and a bit of cheddar naturally.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    The Ullrich tweet. :lol:

    I got a follow from BMC after I started making derogatory remarks concerning big George. Well worth the follow.

    ...and more here...

    http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12112/USADA-makes-formal-doping-charges-against-Armstrong-Tour-titles-at-risk.aspx

    Amongst the claims made are that Armstrong, team manager Johan Bruyneel, doctors Michele Ferrari (Italy), Pedro Celaya (Luxembourg), Luis Garcia del Moral (Spain) and the Spanish trainer Pepi Marti, who currently coaches Alberto Contador, were involved in what is being termed a massive doping conspiracy between 1998 and 2011. The Post states that there are more then ten cyclists amongst the witnesses.

    Rick, can we merge this thread with the Contador one now please?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    So where does this leave Johan Bruyneel? It says he's also accused. If Lance is banned from competing will he be banned from managing Radiospack too? Might cheer up the Schleks a bit.

    My overriding feeling is that this is going to get messy, but I hope this is a bit like all these other stories, everyone get very excited, and then (with a few exceptions) everyone moves on

    That. Is.


    I don't know the right word.

    Massive.

    I guess they were given what was said during the FBI investigation?

    I too think this could get holy messy for many more than just those named. I think Uci should and probably are getting rather worried right now. Good job too.
