    read Gazetto Della Sport have this on their front page too with what now for Contador as the title.

    Seems Riis may have been forced to sell due to the on-going Danish investigation into doping. Only time will tell on this one. Any tweets from Oleg on this one ?

    It's not surprising banks want to associated with a clean persona.

    Yet another rumour from Gazzetta passed off as fact. Standard procedure for them.

    He denied it on twitter. Sold a few more papers than usual though. Job done.

    ^^^ Haha, exactly what I thought when I saw the title! Bjarne Riis (Second from the right) has really let himself go

    Love the site that came from "They loved fighting and were very fierce." With a picture of a bloke doing some sewing next to it...

    I wouldnt worry. Its not often anyone has the chance to post a pic of some people buggering around dressed up as Saxons - and actually do it in context.
