Contador - CAS ruling. (All things Contador/doping - merged)

[Spat]

Go Contador

[Wyatt Earp]

 

 

I cant stand that water pistol thing he does!

It's Spanish sign language for "we shoot the cow, we eat the contaminated meat"

Not only in Spain. The other day my kid says to me "you shot it, you eat it."

hey, grumps, did ya see this:

No I didnt..........wow, I assume its Bass Lake which is a very popular diving area in Gauteng. Not much in the report but I'll call a mate in the area and ask him, possibly a medical issue, but my cynical brain says "poor training" anyway I'll try find out more, Bass lake is hardly a difficult dive site.

A, where is he going to lose 7.5kg from?

 

And B, at least that Saxo Bank kit is the best looking kit in the bunch

 

Ha,Ha, yeah, I wonder..................seems he pulled a bit of a Pantani (who never trained the worst four months of winter) and took a few months off, only starting to train again late December........must have been good for him as he looks pretty damn lean and strong to me.

I will start his weight loss program by chopping those pistolero fingers off!

Hmmm, I see Stefan Schumacher came in 4th, now if you want to talk about controversial riders, he is probably the one.

 

Strange team Christina watches is collecting together,.... Michael Rasmussen and Schumacher in the same team!!

And in a couple of months, Rasmussen will get paid a few million squids by Rabobank, for unfair dismissal when he lied about being in Mexico...

Not so strange.

 

It's like Lance in the same team as, well, anyone that would ride with him...

Yeah, another controversial saga, I see his claim revolves around the fact he was not found positive, and at the time, 2007, there was no law that said he must be removed from the race due to his disappearing act and missing a few controls, apparently that rule was only enforced in 2009,.................if that was the case (personally I dont know) then it would appear Rabobank did act unfairly,.................and it seems the courts agree, as I understand he won his first appearance in court.

Yeah, from what I understand, it's an employment contract thing, has bugger all to do with cycling and doping.

 

Was still awesome to see him going up against Contador, cause it seems like there's very few who can these days.

 

(and I put a marker down, Contador will skate on the current charge...)

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Just as a matter of interest, are Chicken and the young Christina a pair, as in couple, hanging out together.......or is it all professional.? I just wondered because Michael's pasty white skeletal look always creeped me out a bit, and, lets be honest, Christina is an attractive young lady, ..........if they are, hey,... good luck to him, hope it go's well.

Dunno. He's supposed to be married to that Italian MTB chick. (Last I know)

Indeed, in my humble opinion you dont see racing like that anymore, Chicken had 'Berto's acceleration's down pat, he couldn't go with but he could maintain a fast steady tempo and 'Berto just couldn't get away.

 

Agree, I doubt they can make the case stick, when there is doubt the athlete must be given the benefit of that doubt, I reckon 'Berto will be at either the Giro or the Tour kicking Butt and taking names.

Oh, okay, I didnt know he was married, ... he and Christina just looked pretty cosy in the few shots I have seen of them so I wondered.

 

He could do worse.
