ah, thanks for the explanation (hadn't read it at cylingnews.com when I posted). It sounded initially that they missed a control, not a surprize control, big difference. marty

Isn't that grounds for automatic dq from the race? now that would be a train smash, eh? marty

The thing is doping has always gone on, it is an integral part of the sport. I hear lots of people saying they are sick of cycling that they can't watch cycling events anymore. I love the sport, love the beauty of the peloton, the tactics the raw power of the sprinters. Yah, I love it warts and all. I support LAF, have done the Ride for the Roses a few times but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the fact that Lance might have used PEDS (think actovegen) Eddy was and is the greatest cyclist the world has ever seen, bar none. marty

Andreu is fighting for his coaching career, USA cycling (lance mafia) is into him big time after his and his wife's court testimony in the last Lance debacle. I personally don't think it was livingston just pointing out that he and lance had a major falling out when livingston ended up riding for team telekom, he too has pretty much disappeared into obscurity. Vaughters on the other hand is as stated very vocal about doping, and good friends with andreu. marty

while I suspect it is Vaughters I wouldn't be too surprized if it is Livingston, he and Lance are not best mates after all. If it's vaughters look for him to be fired from whatever position in Cycling he currently holds I think soon the lance mafia is going to take a fall. marty
