UCI issues statement on Frank Schleck

[petatodd]

Wonder if he was sharing his stuff with his boet maybe then there will be a new winner for the 2010 Tour

How so?

[BLACKvoodoo]

Is anybody at all surprised???

 

 

If the news came as a shock... you're living in a bubble.

supersport website says he was withdrawn from the race.

 

but the team says non of the drugs they use contain the stuff - is it "normall" for the team to just "dumb" their riders ?

"We're all a bit devastated but we can't do anything, we can only acknowledge the facts and see what happens. It's up to Fränk himself to find an explanation," Maertens said

Sorry if this has been covered already, but why, if the substance does not need a provisional suspension, was Frank withdrawn?

that is the real question ..... JB has something to hide ?

That smacks of a lack of confidence from the team considering that the drug, according to WADA, is "more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation".

Her withdrawal has nothing to do with suspected doping, she just can't stand to be away from sister Andrea any longer.

I'm sure the two of them will cuddle on the couch today and watch the tour from a safe distance.

Wimps, both of them.

why the schleck are people suprized every year when the pro's get cuaght for doping it HAPPENS EVERY YEAR!!!!!!! They should just stop testing these nutters and let them be.

Shame, does the other sister, Stephanie, not get any of that action?

[covie]

Ok my brain is cluster @#$ed the article says

 

"Xipamide, the substance found in Schleck's urine, is not specifically mentioned on WADA's prohibited substance list."

 

So he is in crap for something thats not on the banned substance list? Makes no bloody sense at all.

It's a "specified substance"…

[fandacious]

did everyone forget the schleck sister's dad was caught with a van full of banned doping products while doing a late night border crossing a few years back.

 

what did you think it was for? the family horse?

 

where are all those clowns who say "not every pro cyclist dopes"

In UCI's words: To give him time to prepare his defence.
