saxo and argos in katousha out...

UCI citing ethical reasons for Katusha's failure
Too many personnel linked to previous doping incidents

And yet Saxo-Bank Tinkoff and Astana qualified?

 

[smutchin]

Staggering hubris.

Assuming CAS follows normal court procedures, Katusha will no doubt be introducing a discovery motion to get UCI to disclose its ethical assessment of the other teams. Make interesting reading when they're published.

my bolding.

my thoughts exactly... then agains, Astana have a lot of money to give away behind them to ensure they are financially stable, etc *kof* *kof*

The UCI and ethics - belter!

Russia reconsider Tour of Russia after Katusha snub

A bit of a shame - there must be some spectacular roads to race on.
Childish attitude from the FVSR though.

Anyone know how long the Court of Arbitration process lasts...Tour Down Under only a couple of weeks away.How could it change things now.More interesting footwork from the UCI?

Interesting month coming up: the Katusha decision; Schleck will finally be exonerated after being fitted up on the doping tests (not) and the Yorkshire TdF routes to be announced.

...and Bruyneel before USADA?They do drag these things out, don't they. After the Contador farce, I'd have thought the authorities would have been keen to show more alacrity.

Argos-Shimano deny they are on verge of signing Joaquim Rodriguez
