LIVE WRONG = Nike sneaker­­ sales!

I'm concerned that the drug enforcement agencies in­ Italy, Spain, and France can't work together?
If a­ rider is found guilty of drug use (with credible,­ verifiable evidence), then other countries should­ acknowledge this guilt and ban the rider also.

The­ policy that I can't ride in events in Italy, but I­ can ride in events everywhere else is not good for the­ sport of cycling, let alone the cyclists.

PJ pls go and look for some medical treatment, cause­ you obviously need one. We take your point, all you­ wrote/said is completely true-we all know these facts­ and you don't need to repeat millions of times.­ Pharmastrong and the others are good sell and we are­ harmless either to them either to NIKE, TREK etc...­ Regarding Valverde's case and his innocence, think­ that best way he prove his clearness was his victory on­ Vuelta few months ago. Sad for his absence on 2009TdF,­ but can't wait to see his performance next 2010 on­ this race. "Dirty" or not Valverde stays as­ one of the best men on a bicycle in this era. We all­ cycling-fans must make the difference between the sport­ itself, riders and the governing bodies and race­ organizers. There are many different levels to follow­ and watch this sport(among many other sports) and­ focusing on a top level as TdF GT's, WC's etc.­ surely means a lot of money in stake and slightly­ bigger commercial influence in all aspects. What all­ that brings to the sport is another question and there­ is no sport immune to these demands in means of­ results, achievement etc. Anywhere where we look for a­ higher, faster, longer, there will always be place for­ enhancement substances, inhibitors, stimulants etc.­ False victories are numerous in the past 20y. and­ personally is disgusting to me, and understand fans­ disappointment, but there are true champions amongst­ them which we truly must cheer and celebrate-these two­ spaniards Valverde and Contador seems as right one, so­ we could believe in their victories. At least to the­ next OP...

No honest these gnarly big veins in my legs are­ natural...
honest...just my crazy genetics.... yeah­ thats it, just a weird swim in the gene pool....sort of­ like and old SNL skit with the Pathological­ liar...."Yeah..that's it...these are natural­ huge ugly protruding non steroid induced veins...yeah­ that's it just like this old untouched photo of my­ Sicilian grandma and ...and yeah yeah that's it she­ was a famous cycle pro too...yeah that's it she­ almost won the Giro too..yeah that's it the one­ they started in Washington DC...."

contador is guilty, but somehow hes managed to avoid­ everything i simply dont understand

Is it not time to draw a line under all these­ "retro" implications, especially those­ involving cyclists and Operación Puerto. It is a fact­ that only cyclists seem to have been singled out (in­ public at least) whilst it is also common knowledge­ that around 200 other sports men and women, some very­ prominent, were also found listed but who have never­ been publicly exposed. This spells persecution against­ cyclists and an anti-cycling feast for the media.­ Drawing a line underneath this will then enable WADA,­ UCI, FIFA, athletics, tennis, swimming etc etc to get­ their respective anti-doping houses in order and make a­ new, and FAIR start on the anti-doping campaign IN ALL­ SPORTS.

Frankly, I've lost all faith in the UCI, WADA, CONI­ and whoever else is invlolved. This is pure farce. ­ Any lawyer worth his salt will pull this case to pieces­ and discredit all involved, such is the level of­ incompetance in both undertaking the investigation and­ administering appropriate punishment. Sadly (for­ Valverde at least), whatever happens, he'll be­ labelled as a dirty rider. Scandalous.

was contador implicated or was it that his training­ times found in documents relating to his team (which­ was full of dopers) had his mane on it. nothing medical­ has been linked to him, just training times. Even so­ how did he win the 2007 tour when those around him were­ doping, does he have a VO2 max over 100? Its the lack­ of clarity, the mistrust, the rumours. The UCI needs to­ up its game on dopers, as does WADA because a great­ sport is still ruined by mistrust. Blood passports are­ ok for finding epo if used in large doses. but it does­ nothing for growth hormes, micro dosing EPO, little for­ off season testing, etc. Its too easy to cheat. The­ question is why would you not dope if those around you­ did. Make val do a DNA test or suspend his licence.­ Make him prove he is NOT implicated in porto.

#3, there's plenty of footballers in OP...

Cuntodor named in OP = not guilty.

Piti name in OP =­ guilt.

How does that work then?
