Phonak back in ProTour

The appeals court odered the UCI to reinstate the team back into
ProTour status. Any chance that we'll see Perez and Hamilton back on
the team?

I'd doubt it. If they are completely cleared I suppose it's a
possiblity but I don't think that happens.
With one confirmed, and two doping cases being processed it's a tough
call. If all the cases are decided to be positive after due process,
it's going to be hard for me to think that nobody in Phonak management
knew at least something. I'd hope that there is a mechanism for
removing a team that is caught systematically doping. Since we don't
have findings yet and the PT is already underway as far as scheduling
and training goes I guess that I'd have to agree with the decision,
uless new information comes up.

Given that Perez just got a 2 year suspension, I don't like his chances
nuch.

Perez' contract was up and he had signed with another team anyway.

Even if cleared, Hamilton's contract is gone and Phonak would only be
inviting trouble from UCI if they took him back. There's plenty of
other team leaders available.

Floyd's happy now, I would bet.

What is happening with Tyler, anyway? Is he riding for anybody at all?

He has his hearing on January 25th. Not sure which year.
