Danielson will get his stomach trouble diagnosed and resolved and will
be gone before this year is over.

That'll be then end of his career if he goes to T-Mobile. It's the
graveyard of racers.

Bill, he's going there to lead the team in the 2008 Tour. Seriously
though, I hope you read Walsh's new book. It's not at all like LA
Confidential. The history of the US national team right through Postal
and Discovery are laid wide open by numerous people who were there. I
don't see how anyone can follow the tale of what went on and think that
anyone on Postal/Discovery or any other top team was clean. The irony
is that in a clean sport Hincapie would probably have a far longer win
list than he has now.
