    THe whole thing stinks regarding the timing of the Bassons ban and tomo's UCI "Stitch up" - So Bassons get a ONE year ban for missing a test nearly 3 hours after he abandons at the age of 38 in some poncey 4th cat MTB race....and these heroes for coming clean Hincapie,VDV, Zabriskie,Leipheimer who confessed to taking shit get ONLY 6 months....a F***ing shower of corrupt W**kers the lot of them :evil:

    Well, Jensie is getting a bit slaughtered on twitter atm, with regards to the Livestrong event.

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

    Oh Jensie, dont invoke the children at the school you went to and ask people not to critifize you for that.

    Having a go at Jensie just seems like taking shots at an eager, soppy retriever*



    *whatever he might have done the past. I know, I know...

    I'm not concerned about what Jens has done in the past. I'm concerned about his current attitude, he calls out anyone who accuses/suggests that he might have been close to doping, yet when his own ( now ex) DS is found to be at the centre of a doping conspiracy, he seems strangely silent.

    Almost as if Iain was right about him all along. =(

    Talking of someone I really cant stand, take a look at Oleg Tinkoff's twitter feed lately - ripe for some snark

    "The World Anti-Doping Agency is to consider holding a doping amnesty across all sports in the wake of the Armstrong scandal. The prospect of an amnesty would be discussed once the Usada investigation was complete, the Wada president, John Fahey, said."

    D-day for Lance and the UCI. if they don't strip him, does it imply they were complicit? If they don't strip him, have they any credibility left, or are they even fit to govern the sport?

    Can't wait to see him get done over, but bitter about how the American commercial machine has consumed and trashed yet another great sport! .......... Maybe rounders could have been an Olympic sport had the Americans not bastardised it into baseball :)

    Quotes Cyrille Guimard* who thinks Armstrong may be let off. Thinks there are too many bodies for the UCI to want dug up.

    “It’s not Armstrong’s interest which is at stake in this affair, but the interest of all those who are involved closely or from afar,” Guimard told RMC radio Sunday. “I’m fairly skeptical. An amnesty is in the pipeline'

    I'm reading swiss law is black and white on doping e.g. you either have the DNA of the blood bbg, photo or audio, or an A-B sample positive...maybe the UCI will appeal it? I think they might...no harm in it as it seems the 2001 cover up allegation is not as well founded as some thought.

    There's still the huge amount of corroborating witness statements that constitute evidence, though

    It would seem the UCI are caught between a rock and a hard place. They ratify and show incompetence/collusion, they don’t ratify and look as though they condone doping. You would expect them to come out all guns blazing…

    Innr ring reckons UCI will ratify...am not sure. Maybe the UCI is not as scared of an appeal as some might think? If they know they didn't arrange +s dissapear and didn't provide early warning to USPS of drug testers, they have little or nothing to be scared of by appealing. 1pm today?
