From CyclingNews: "The Belgian Cycling Federation anti-doping procurer has requested that Greg Van Avermaet be banned for two years and fined 262.500 Euro for his links to Dr. Chris Mertens and suspicions of doping."

That's a hefty fine for Van Avermaet.

And he still couldn't win in a sprint... I'd be asking for a refund from the good doctor!

That will go on for years the way the Italian legal system works. Mostly in favour of ageing politicians with a taste for young "nieces"!

Every time this thread pops up on the What's new page I get a sinking feeling. So, as a light diversion, I wonder how these tyres roll - http://road.cc/content/news/148369-dope-pedallers-nabbed-smuggling-marijuana-bike-tyres

Great pun value !

They roll fine but you need to eat a lot more.....

 

[StuAff]

Are they smoking fast?

Maybe, but evidently they weren't rolling fast enough.

They're much better off-road apparently, as they're particularly suited to grass and weed.

I'll get me coat.

Hein Verbruggen's letter to UCI Management C'ttee; Cookson seems to have irked him somewhat:

What a poorly written, poorly argued, self-centred, unprofessional and irrational letter. Confirms everything I thought about Heinous.

Edit - it did occur to me this might be a spoof, but then I'm not sure whether a spoofer would be so rambling and incoherent.

Bleedin' hell, what load of incoherent, rambling cock. Why he doesn't just disappear into retirement and stop making a tit of himself only he knows.
