    from what I've heard of Astana it's two teams in one. The Italian side and the Kazakh side. Seems like this was the Kazakh side that was doing the doping.

    With any pro sport unless you monitor people 24\7 how can you stop doping ?

    Doing doping tests only in the morning needs to change though

    Because eyetalians don't dope?

    It's a rotten team. Always has been. I don't trust them and never had and although I think Nibs is great and hope (never can be certain) he's clean, his uniform always leaves me wondering.

    I won't bother commenting on what I think of Contador's Astana victories
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    The MPCC is a bit like the Pirate's Code - more a set of guidelines than rules....

    Nice to hear what Cookson said today about it being a consideration for a licence. Also think he will target them next year.
