What I find strange about this affair, is that the documents were only
delivered on Friday, just in time to really screw everthing up.
Couldn't they have been ready a week ago ?


My sentiments exactly. It seemed as though they timed this to get the
maximum sensationalistic exposure. Anyone want to bet that they had
this stuff well in advance of the tour?


You don't have to bet. It's history. They had this stuff in May.

Morning had broken, and there was nothing we could do but wait
patiently for the RAC to arrive.

If, after all this, either or both is found to be innocent, are you going
to say 'sorry, lads, no offence meant'?


Why would I? I'm no more than a spectator, and, besides, being from
the U.S., would say "no offense". However, it is what it is. People
are each making decisions from their point of view and best interests.
If you don't want to be in that position, you don't hand people the
reason to make the decision in the first place.

**** happens. Sometimes a world champion watches a team dissolve
around him for things that happen before he arrived. How many people
are crying about Astarloa's run of bad luck beyond his control? His
lost opportunities? Part of the sport.

I think you're missing the point, besides he may have other fish to
fry at this point, as well as reflect on the shame that will follow
him for the rest of his life, unlike his nemesis LA who not only
thrashed him over the years but came out clean !

And I am going to watch, anyway. I watched the World Cup, after all.


i tried to watch but don't think i'll continue. watching makes me
depressed, so what's the point of that?

I guess US viewers have had little interest since (not) qualifying.
Here, we were in the streets until 3AM.

Bonne route !

The really amazing thing isn't how much my wife and I miss living in
Europe, but how much the kids miss it and want to go back. They largely
grew up there, and we keep in touch through friends and family. My
sister-in-law and her son who are both dual citizens usually go back to
Paris for the summers where she teaches courses and gives seminars.
Being associated with several universities is a great thing for her.
Just wish we could work something out since we've been asked to come
back to help out with everything from the Tour of Germany on down.
Someday after the kids are all in college maybe we'll be able to go
back and stay again.
Best to all of you!
I wish I felt as good about Germany's chances as I do France's though.
I'm afraid Italy has our number.

You know, I wondered how I'd feel in watching but when I flipped on the TV
yesterday afternoon it seemed pretty normal. Of course, the early flat
stages are interesting for completely different reasons than, say, the
stages in the second and third weeks.

my bf still watches, so it's on when i'm around, and you're right, it
seems pretty normal so far.

i don't think i'm depressed because the tour isn't going to be as good
as i was expecting. i think i'm just unwilling to get involved with any
more bike racers. (if i'm going to enjoy something like the tour, i need
to pay attention to the people i think may win it and learn something
about them. i need to care. else it's like watching chess- then one
isn't interested in the pieces, more the game itself and i have never
been a big fan of watching chess. i don't have the brains for tactics- i
need human interest even if i hate those stupid human interest stories.)

it was ok when someone could be booted for doping, unpleasant but i
could deal with it. but now they can be booted for being under
investigation of doping. maybe they'll deserve it in the end, i dunno,
but every time i watch it's like this little annoying prick in the the
back of my mind, and i can't care who does well anymore, when at any
minute they could be thrown out for being under investigation. i want to
care but i can't, it's just too painful. what can i say, i'm overly
dramatic...

If they have DNA results, why bother with dog names in the press? Pretty
stupid.


Unless they have releases permitting the use of previously collected
blood or other samples for the purpose of DNA matching, it is unlikely
they have matched on the basis of DNA yet. Since Ullrich's effective
refusal so far seems to be a discussion topic, it would appear that
such permission was not given prior to the Fuentes case and at least
some have not done so since.
