Labels it "a farce".

I agree, but I doubt for the same reasons. Derisory backdated bans don't sit well with me.

    Farking farce....3 months ban (nowhere near enough), and back-dated giving him a whopping 7 days left to sit out :roll:

    I wonder what Boonen saw at his year at US Postal.

    I read somewhere, and I forget where, that the italians had forgotten to put Ferrari on the list of people you can't do business with, so they couldn't ban him for longer because the lawyers would drive a horse and cart through it.

    That's the situation, according to INRNG. Standard bungling apparently

    It's effectively no punishment at all, isn't it?

    One would hope they've sorted this now...
