Other than Frank Schleck, which other riders have tested positive this year, or had comments made about odd blood values or have produced uncharacteristic performances?

    That Bulgarian fella from Tour of Turkey, The Ag2R rider, and wasn't there one at Europcar?

    Plus Barredo has just had a biological passport case opened and, as yet, I don't think the UCI have lost a case they've brought using it.

    Galimzyanov (Katusha)

    I can picture the scene...

    'As esafosfina taps out the ashes from his pipe into the blazing log fire and reloads it with finest brown flake, he calls to his assistant Audrey to take a letter.
    With an assertive tightening of his velour smoking-jacket, he narrows his gaze to the horizon beyond the drawing room, beyond the Aston DB6, beyond the verdant gardens...
    With a sip of finest Amontillado, he leans manfully on the Italian marble of the mantelpiece and begins...

    "Bunch of w@nkers, innit, stop...
    ...OK, read that back to me Audrey".'

    OCDP, you do him a disservice...

    '...farking wankers innit' at the very least

    Haha! RR & OCDuP... Very quick boys! Love it... slightly more of an Aussie accent these days though!

    Had a few too many glasses of Priorat tonight, so I'll just say that I'm, erm, 'disappointed' in the UCI to say the least... but not surprised. (Now suppressing a mighty urge to launch into a half-pissed diatribe on McQuaid, cheats, so-called "scumbags", the decline of decent pornography, Davidoff cigars, and the fact that I'm out of wine...)

    More later...
