It's his second positive - is that a 4 year or an 8 year ban now?
I wonder if he'll sing if he's interviewed?:whistle:

Should be life ban. I bet he thought he had got away with that one.

If they do what they have seemed to do with retro testing - ie cancel all results from the date of the sample and ban from then - a 4year ban would run out just before the start of the 2016 spring classics :whistle:

I agree it should be a life ban but im sure the courts will not see it that way - 8 years would effectively be the same

Catching Caruso retrospectively with a new, more sensitive(?) EPO test is relatively small fry. If the UCI/WADA have samples kept from back in those days, are there some other riders quaking in their boots?
Horner, for instance?

Why does everyone think Horner was doped?

He outrode the top riders of the day, such as Nibali and Valverde, up steep mountain top finishes, after a year of injuries, and his only showing of note being 2nd in the Tour of Utah, IIRC.
He was 41 with very little previous and was heavily hinted to be one of the redacted names in the Armstrong/USADA report.
It's still only speculation however, and as someone once said...^_^

Finally, the last thing I’ll say to the people who don’t believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics: I'm sorry for you. I’m sorry that you can’t dream big. I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. But this is one hell of a race. This is a great sporting event and you should stand around and believe it. You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people. I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets — this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it. So Vive le Tour forever!

I can't find it now but didn't horner look directly into the camera and say something disturbingly similar after one of the vuelta presentations?

Fun to watch a bunch of young guys beat Roman Kreuziger. Hasn't been the same since he stopped slamming blood bags with Dr. Ferrari
