wrote: Yup. Almost certainly it has. If it was clear evidence, would we not know about it by now? What motivation would anyone have for withholding information on such clear evidence? The silence implies that it does not link anyone important with the blood. Why this presumption? Anyone heard about collection labs/agencies drawing blood to use as a necessary donor match? Since protocols and procedures exist to get to a 99.95% match, they won't go to court without doing exactly that. When the riders have been approached to do a controlled collection to provide the best match results, and about two weeks have passed, then you can probably start talking about 'certainly has'. The funny thing is, if the standards are low and you have a procedure that can be typed as 70% accurate, you can win the case; come in with 70% when the standard is just below 100% and they'll send you back to school.

Watching today [some spoilers] (was Basso: 'I have had no contact from any judge, investigator, the UCI')

I'm watching. It was great to see the Bouygues boys out in the break, it was great to yell for Tom Boonen even if he went too early and couldn't do it, it was shocking to see the blood spray off Thor Hushovd's arm - I didn't think that actually happened, I thought that was just a slasher movie convention. What a way to mess up a yellow jersey! What happened to his 2004 one? Did that get ripped in the crash? I'm sorry that those who've gone have gone. I'm still hoping that some of them will be cleared. I'm sorry that some who are still riding are at least equally tainted. But... Life wouldn't be the same without these guys. Seeing Big Magnus winding up for the sprint. Desperately trying to identify which of the Bouygues guys have gone in the break. Seeing the peloton in full flight, that blurring mass of colour and talent. I simply cannot see the drugs issue in black and white. It isn't. Yes, I'm half convinced that the need to clean up the sport is sufficiently urgent for draconian measures to need to be taken, but for me personally Basso is still a hero even if he doped (and Headstrong is still a villain even if he didn't). So I'll still be bouncing on the sofa yelling for Bouygues and CSC and for people like Tom Boonen and Big Maggie and Axel Mercx and possibly even David Millar (I really liked his attitude in his post-prologue interview yesterday), I'll still be watching out in other races for Leonardo Piepolli and Nick Nuyens. Yes, yet another scandal has taken a bit of the gloss off but I'm surprised how little, really, for me. Let's face it, in this sport we're used to scandals. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb. |

Didn't you notice? Ullrich has almost certainly been robbed - permanently - of his last chance for a second Tour win. Basso has almost certainly been robbed - permanently - of his best chance to win the Giro and the Tour in one year. You can never give those things back to them. If, after all this, either or both is found to be innocent, are you going to say 'sorry, lads, no offence meant'? -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; better than your average performing pineapple |
