The number of World Tour and Pro Conti teams that welcome back unrepentant dopers must be diminishing by now surely?

Maybe Bardiani, Androni, and CCC, and possibly Nippo Vini Fantini? Otherwise I get a feeling he'll join the growing list of dopers who end up riding Gran Fondos and carry on their evil ways.

It appears that UCI will be testing in some of the UCI Fondos, that will be a nice surprise for some people...

Do you mean the UWCT ones like Tour of Cambridgeshire? And can they sanction anyone who doesn't hold a racing licence?

No idea, but that's what has been rumbling around. If it gets rid of suspended riders who are tarnishing the events with their presence, all to the good.

This is going to be interesting...
I think more than a few big Spanish sports personalities will be thinking in the next couple of days..
I wouldn't surprised if the samples get destroyed..
More than cycling has to be implicated...
this could make the recent Russian affair look tame esp if Spanish footballers are involved.....
:popcorn: at the ready.


or has some ehmm.. disappeared:whistle:

Nothing would surprise me - it could be that they are released for testing, all intact with the aftermath of usual waffle, or it could be they are destroyed on order of the court, or it could be that the decree is to release them and we find that someone has already poured them down the plughole, or etc etc etc

The name Salazar springs to mind. He may coach people but obviously he does not encourage them to use any "remedies". If he did and MF was a recipient, he should ask for his money back after his cross country result!
Note that Radcliffe is on the high horse again, what a PR operator. Just like a certain American who consistently claimed innocence and pure talent beat all the others around him, until he, er, got caught and finally coughed. In her case I want her to be OK, but all the noise is concerning, attack being the best method of defence and all that, and it does her little credit to be seen as a bit of a publicity seeker.
