Surprise surprise, it looks like systematic doping in the XG squad. Not a good time for Spanish cycling.

It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Meanwhile nothing's happened over Mosquera's B-sample. How come it's taking so long? The sample was given a month ago, the positive A sample news came out two weeks ago.

    You're jesting?

    In a Pino led squad?

    This is shocking, it's so difficult to believe that a Spanish team would have organised doping. Are we sure it's not contaminated tapas :roll:

    Can't Etxeondo find a reasonably clean team to sponsor so I can purchase their non-plain kit guilt free?

    As you can see, I'm the real victim here.

    Without wanting this to go all Shimano/Campag, I've never had a problem wearing Trade Team kit, so long as it's stylish. If they didn't want you wearing it, they wouldn't sell it would they?

    In my collection of stylish kit, the only trade team stuff still being worn is a 2005 Lampre Caffita jersey, the black Pozatto Italian Champion jersey and the Black Lampre kit they made for Gibo at the end of last years Giro.

    I do it to avoid detection... By Mididoctors.

    my cousin has a festina top that he bought just after the classic bust - I was wondering about a gewiess or a T Mobile in a comedy-post-bust irony but maybe a Xacobeo is the one to go for now ?

    actually I'm in the middle of reading in search of Robert Millar, maybe there's enough stories in there to qualify my Z replica jersey....
