Lucky Luke. Posted February 6, 2012 Share Wow, didn't see this coming. Still hard to believe he won't be riding for 2 years. Time to hand in the the old pistolero for deactivation? [Edit] Eldron's post is more or less exactly what I expected. Just an empty ruling with no real effect for AC or the people making a truckload of cash out of him.

Paulst12 Posted February 6, 2012 Share http://www.iol.co.za...years-1.1228174 So Andy gets his TdF victory in the end? Edited February 6, 2012 by Paulst12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner Posted February 6, 2012 Share Edit: Contador banned and LA cleared.....interesting Edited February 6, 2012 by Niner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted February 6, 2012 Share LA walks. AC is 'guilty' but will probably continue to race. Business as usual. Schleck gets a hollow tour win he probably doesn't deserve. No good news here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Lofthouse Posted February 6, 2012 Share So, a 6 month ban then ... not very punitive, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted February 6, 2012 Share His ban ends only 6 months after the decision to ban him for 2 years was made. Flippin crazy. He'll appeal the CAS decision by the time that ends his ban will be over anyway - how fooked is THAT. Anyone know if he's allowed to keep riding until his CAS appeal is heard? If he his allowed to ride then his nett ban will be ZERO (apart from the initial few months)... Makes the CSA look like uber efficient wundermenchen. which brings me to my point on the lance thread... UCI is the worst thing to ever happen to cycling. They refuse to touch their moneymakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Edit] Eldron's post is more or less exactly what I expected. Just an empty ruling with no real effect for AC or the people making a truckload of cash out of him. The only REAL sanction will be not riding the 2012 TdF. Take drugs and win a tour - then get bust and miss a tour. If someone offered me those terms I'd probably also dope (and I'm rather staunchly anti doping). Kinda makes a mockery of an anti doping system that already lacks any form of credibility...

Eldron Posted February 6, 2012 Share which brings me to my point on the lance thread... UCI is the worst thing to ever happen to cycling. They refuse to touch their moneymakers Agreed! Personally I think the the UCI is much like the CSA - self righteous protectors of their own little mafia universe. Sadly it's the by product of any "political" organisation - UCI/CSA are effectively small ANC/NPs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted February 6, 2012 Share So, a 6 month ban then ... not very punitive, is it? He still loses his 2010 TdF win and do you think any teams will sign him in 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
