    I am as convinced of his innocence as I was Hamilton's when he passed a lie detector test.


    And when Contador passed his.

    Kreuziger racing today in Strade Bianchi. I thought he was still suspended pending CAS outcome? Or free to ride until CAS outcome?

    Well placed too. Just like he was in Oman.

    Thank goodness he is free to race as the speed the UCI work he would be out for another 6months.

    That's fine as long as when they ban him (as I'm sure they will), they don't backdate the ban and annul these results like they did with Contador. It just makes a mockery of races.

    So what we waiting for?

    Kreuziger or some other slow moving body?

    CAS

    Effectively RK lost against the UCI, so he's appealing to CAS. (so he can lose again)

    June 10th the for the CAS hearing. Finally.

    He will ride the Giro most probably.

    Presumably CAS will then decide that he didn't actually ride the Giro.

    So what with this and the Astana situation, could make for an interesting Giro. They'll be writing the results out in pencil.

    I'm sure a few of the italian wild cards will chip in as well.

    Will his ban start from date of CAS ruling or be retrospective back to some other point? And yes, I am assuming CAS doesn't go his way.

    If CAS goes his way we may as well all give up.

    I have given up. Clearly the testing is a total chocolate teapot.

    I don't think we'll find out what the evidence is that changed the position.

    But we need to look at it as a positive thing - If you can change you mind based on evidence, that's a sign of strength rather than persisting with being wrong.

    Very interesting, not often that WADA or the UCi drop doping cases. Excellent news for Contadors chances in the Tour.

    It could be. Or it may not be.

    That still doesn't affect the relevance or accuracy of the phrase 'chocolate teapot'

    You don't believe there is any way of dealing with this so it's fairly pointless discussing it, right?

    As you can imagine I am very happy and hope he brings his proper A-game to the Tour.

    That being said, they really need to explain this new information. Never heard of this sort of thing happening before and I am terribly interested in what sort of evidence can prove guilt.

    Maybe it is a big fat cheque from Oleg :wink:

    I reckon Tinkov may have been quite happy to see him off the payroll. Kreuziger is a Riis signing and probably paid more than his recent performances have merited and it would have freed up cash for one of his own signings.

    Correct. The sooner we get nighttime testing the better. At which point the riders will find a way to stop it getting dark.

    Kreuzinger not suing UCI/WADA. Is that because a law court has stricter criteria for 'proof'? I'd want some recompense for slurs against my name, unless they were true!
