Yes, considering the teams he's ridden for he must find all the nasty doping awful.
I know, I know. But it didn't rest well with him is all.0 -

I love him but he came out of the hardcore East German gymnasiums like Ullrich/Zabel etc. He's ridden in CA, GAN and for Ullrich in the 2000 Olympics and has been a party to all that's gone on whether he took anything or not. Don't RSNT lose any prize money as a result of Frank? Also, he gave up the job with SAXO to follow the Schlecks and it's gone sourM.Rushton0 -
Any news on this issue?
Also does anyone know if they had Frank's DNA to test against Puerto bags?Contador is the Greatest0 -
Think he's awaiting the news if he gets a ban. Also prob.waiting to see if there is a team altho' Jens is signed up for another year.M.Rushton0

Btw, how long will Andy be banned for?
I mean, a Frank-positive is an Andy-positive. We all know that.0 -
Positive test for Frank or not, id say it's 90% likely A. Schleck has doped.ddraver wrote:Are you Serious?
a) He trains with Frank everyday of his life
b) Everyone says Contador won his tours through obvious doping - which means the man who kept with him in the mountains and finished seconds behind him was probably also on the juice by that logic
c) Anyone who races like sh*t all year except for a 3 week period needs looking at.
d) Everything about him and his brother has been fishy this year. Still think there are reasons behind his absence barring the hip.
e) He races under Bruyneel
f) Brother frank likes to buy 'training' plans from suspicious doctors
All hearsay of course - but that counts for a lot on these forums.0 -

With evidence like that you'd fit right in at The Clinic

That was kind of my point. However, I do think anyone that believes A Schleck is clean as a whistle need's their head checking.0 -
This is the problem with the sport, nobody can have honestly put any trust in anybody.
The whole thing is rotten and I hate it, but I just can't seem to tear myself away from it, like that sexy but mental ex girlfriend."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Blimey, I'm starting to think Hayden Roulston's got a point!!!
No i'm not going to ban him - but seeing as he and Frank live out of each others pockets, train together, work together, live together, hold hands together etc, I'd say linking Andy to Franks positive test is on a par with linking a rider to a dodgy doctor - suspicion has to fall on Andy now, he's tainted.0 -

I agree with this. Like i said i'm not totally going to write Andy off, afterall he 'has never tested positive' but with Franks positive has to come natural suspicion of Andy.0 -

Do you get an alert sent to your phone when certain words are mentioned? Banning, Boonen, Flanders, Steak..."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -
Frankie boy's finished.
Too old for a comeback. Even if he climbs on a bike in another pro-race he'll be nowhere.
Time to forget him boys, and remember him for what he was
a guy with gimpy celebrations and the steering of a truck on ice

Ahhhh...my final memory of him is doomed to be him looking forlorn and abandoned by the roadside after the crash on the Metz stage, with no one waiting up the road for him. Team of the Tour indeed...0

Yep, those multiple Luxembourg championship wins will seal his place in legend forever no matter what happens 0 -

The Schlecks needed to stay together says Andersen
That'll work well when Frank is sat on the naughty step (assuming the Xipamide doesn't get swept under the rug on 08 Oct).

Does any doping hearing ever get held on schedule? I can't imagine the Luxembourg authorities are bogged down in such cases!0

Sorry to be flippant in a doping issue that everyone's taking very seriously, but why is the Luxembourg Anti-Doping Agency 'NADA' and not 'LADA'?
Makes very nittle sense to me...0
