Barredo was suspended from Jan 1 to Feb 28 "to have more impact than the usual off season suspensions in Nov/Dec." On the other hand, Bruyneel was suspended from Feb 1 to Mar 31, allowing him to be at the Tour Down Under with LANCE. Barf. |

Well it's not like wearing what you feel like wearing is the same as smashing someone over the head with your wheel. If the sponsors are happy, the UCI shouldn't give a **** what the teams wear. I don't think the penalty fits the crime in RatShack's case. Barredo, on the other hand, needs to get a grip on his violent impulses and should have been given a longer suspension so he could contemplate the seriousness of his actions. just my $0.02 |

Well, the small amount of coverage I saw seemed to show a fair amount of "pushback" from Lance, at least. I don't recall anything IRT Bruyneel one way or the other. I'd call this an effective "shot across the bow". They have rules they want you to follow, whatever anyone might think one way or another, and it's their playground. An obvious question might be "How hard would it have been for the B&L Show to get prior approval", especially considering the Livestrong "cause" connection?". The "pushback" factored in heavily, also; as I remember, changing jerseys was resisted and the team was threatened with expulsion. I don't remember the linkage there, IOW if the expulsion threat was "first word" or whether it was a reaction to an order to change jerseys not being immediately obeyed. --D-y |

Coz --Oh, please, monsieur. It is a little game we play. They put it on the bill, I tear up the bill. It is very convenient.-- With Cipo, you've got this one flamboyant guy, a sprinter at that, and it's no more disruptive than an end-zone dance. Allowing it to continue isn't going to cause all that much trouble. But for an entire team to change their kit, for a DS to twit like a twit, and then the team changed *again* to the "illegal" jerseys for the team podium presentation, that's another thing entirely. Consider a sprinter to be like a fighter pilot, and Bruyneel to be a General. One more example where you'd expect a different standard of behaviour and punishment. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Postal did the gray postal jerseys for the last stage of the '03 tour and ASO didn't pitch a hissy fit then. I'm sure there were fines, probably in both cases, but not this silliness. Mark J. |

This fines are okay, good, there are rules, nobody complaines. But the suspension is a dumb joke. |
