Keep updating the hubThx[/quote'] this from ap:"The Quick Step team is still invited but the tour director does not want Tom Boonen," said spokesman Kurt Henauer, adding that the organizers don't "want to have riders that take drugs."However, the International Cycling Union said Boonen was unlikely to face punishment from the sports governing body regardless of the results of the Belgian probe because the test came during a break from racing."It seems that it wouldn't be any violation of our rules because in out-of-competition tests cocaine is not a forbidden substance, for the WADA Code and the UCI anti-doping rules," UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani said from Switzerland.Former world champion Tom Boonen gives positive test for cocaine ...

Tumbleweed Posted June 10, 2008 Share more about why he will escape any sanction: "There are time limits for out-of-competition tests. Three days before a race is considered out of competition. If you take cocaine one day before a race you will test positive," he added.The World Anti-Doping Agency classifies cocaine as a stimulant on the official prohibited list but it is only prohibited if the substance is taken in-competition, WADA spokesman Frederic Donze said in a telephone interview.

Jean-Jay Posted June 10, 2008 Share well if that is Tom crossing the line' date=' he clearly doesn't have many fans!!! as seen in this picture they are all looking at the other rider[/quote'] Silence! The real reason is because he is still slowing down, specialized dont make air parachutes for breaks yet and if the crowd tried to synchronise head movement with Tom, at the speed he sprints, they would all have whiplash. Thats why when u look at sprint finishes with Rob Hunter the crowds are always looking in front of him, cos they still waiting for slow coach to catch up ... just kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
