Apemanscolony Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I feel he must not get in again. He must quit now.Hope he not going to get special treatment. Poor Riis, he build a team around Alberto and now it could back fire,and have no good riders as most is joining the Schleck brothers team.
MariusL Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I don't think he will be found guilty... Contador will be there next year Edited October 22, 2010 by MariusL
Squier Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 For those who don't know/forgot what the Galibier looks like, here it is. It's a freaking monster!!! Ouch!! I'l feel cheated if I don't see a Contador Schleck duel on these slopes!! Not forgetting Alpe D'Huez!

levett Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I believe him guilty (and perhaps stupid for not 'checking') and, hopefully, he will not get 'special treatment' if he is found guilty. The sport will be tainted if they find some 'technicality' to get him off the hook!
silvan Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 As I understand it, if he is declared guilty of drug/blood doping has a minimum 2 year suspension. If they declare that he is not guilty, he can request for a reduction of the suspension, which at the most would be 1 year. This is what has occurred with previous athletes that tested positive due to external sources.WADA/UCI view is that the athlete is ultimately responsible for what they eat/drink.
'Dale Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 Well, well, well... 26 votes against 9 for a TdF without the current champ. Resounding result on the Hub. No Alberto. According to the Hub poll.No Lance.Hmmm....
fandacious Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 The sport will be tainted if they find some 'technicality' to get him off the hook! Like a post-dated TUE for corticosteriods? The UCI is pathetic. They don't have the balls to nail their big name riders that bring the money to the events. This will be swept under the rug like so many other big shot riders who had discrepancies. AC will be back winning races in almost no time, and everyone will forget about his positive. Fans forgive and forget easily.
silvan Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Why get suspended if you found not guilty As posted earlier: WADA/UCI view is that the athlete is ultimately responsible for what they eat/drink. So regardless of how it got into his system, because it is not naturally occurring, any trace of it is unacceptable.
