    Shack:
    Our team attaches great value to transparency. Because of this, we can announce the following as a response to the adverse analytical finding of xipamide in Fränk Schleck's urine sample of July 14 during the Tour de France.

    After being informed by the UCI about the presence of xipamide in the urine sample of Fränk Schleck on July 14, the team has decided to immediately withdraw Fränk Schleck from the Tour de France.

    Even though an abnormal A sample does not require these measures, Mr. Schleck and the team believe this is the right thing to do, to ensure the Tour de France can go on in calm and that Fränk Schleck can prepare his defense in accordance with the legal timing to do so.

    On the subject of xipamide the team can declare the following: it is not a product that is present in any of the medicine that the team uses and the reason for the presence of xipamide in the urine sample of Mr. Schleck is unclear to the team. Therefore, the team is not able to explain the adverse findings at this point.

    However, the team is fully determined to collaborate with the anti-doping agencies in order to resolve the matter.

    All this suggests to me is that dirty bertie was/is at it all year round.

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

    One imagines the Luxembourg Olympic Committee are already working out how they can let him get off scott free again.

    @inrng UCI press release hinting Frank Schleck should leave the race is almost identical in wording to the one with Sasha Kolobnev last year.

    I simply can not believe that individuals of such high profile are still willing to take these kind of risks. It makes me wonder who else of the big names is still at it.

    All of them?


    That's the bit that I can't get my head around - if your "superstar" names of the tour are willing to take the risk then either it is liekly they can (and are) getting away with it.... OR the whole shebang is just doomed is it is so much part of the culture still.

    OR he does have a genuine excuse - still possible?!

    Surely consistency is just evidence that Bertie dopes better than Frank, same way he rides better.

    I think he has a point, there's been something dodgy about the Schlecks this season.

    The sad thing about Frankie is that he has no love-sick-fan-boys to stick up for him whilst he's being walked to the gallows... :cry:

    Surely someone out there will stick up for him... Anyone?

    While you're at it, I've found this:

    Andy Schleck officially withdrawn from Luxembourg Olympic team

    Read more: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12422 ... z20urlhcc4

    On road issues have also been followed by problems off the bike, where internal struggles in the RadioShack-Nissan team have seen him - and elder brother Fränk - in conflict with manager Johan Bruyneel.

    Both Schlecks - as well as Tour de France prologue winner Fabian Cancellara - have also been named as riders that have complained to the UCI over unpaid salaries.

    Could he have been set up? This is rather convenient for the RNTL big wigs - especially Leopard who were being chased for 1/2mill and suddenly have a perfect excuse not to pay.

    They knew it was all down the pan after the tour anyway, so why not go out with a bang.

    I now there have been question marks around Frank before - but now and with his performance - something doesn't feel right.
