The organizers disinvited him from the Hamburg
Cyclassics, it might be related to or prompted
by that. Or, maybe he's going to show up with
his chimera.

Not that he was going to win Hamburg anyway, but are
there any limits on the power of organizers to exclude
riders they don't like, even if they haven't been
sanctioned? Obviously the ASO has led the way here.
One can easily imagine this being abused.

Why not? Someone who can win the Draai van de Kaai, can win anything.

That sounds horribly ominous to me. Budd Dwyer ominous.

I note that Michael Boogerd was second.
Also, Contador has a disturbingly luminescent
crotch in that podium picture.

That boy is irradiated. Do they test for plutonium?

Did you also note that Justin's son won Juniors?
And that the photo album starts in 1980? http://foto.dedraai.nl/foto/

Atomic Nad Patch. We've seen this before. Floyd wore a lead codpiece under his
shorts to keep his unseen.

Interestingly, Bruyneel's interview just published on his web site:
http://www.johanbruyneel.com/column.aspx?id=93 ,
which was reproduced on cyclingnews.com, fails to discuss the press conference. If this was a blockbuster admission of guilt, you'd suspect the Contador-won story would have been toned down.

P.S. And I just test rode one of the '08 Madones yesterday, from Mike Jacoubowsky's shop, which did a fantastic job taking time to fit me up, even if it was just a test ride. Even though I'm not a big Ultegra fan (chunk-chunk; even my old 9-speed Dura-Ace, certainly my newer SRAM Rival, has a better shifting feel, to me), the bike was certainly stable, and felt good during the ride, which included some steep climbs, a semi-rough descent, and some sprints (FWIW, as I don't have much of a sprint). But I'm afraid if the MJ is taken away from Disco, the bike will lose its luster .
