After firing Tyler already I don't think they had much of a shot at the Tour anyhow but still....any thoughts?

I haven't been following this lately, pretty sad.

There are no heros.

One rider (Camenzind) tested positive for EPO, admitted it, then retired. Another, Perez, tested positive for the same thing as Hamilton. He also claims that he's innocent.
I don't know what to believe.

The velo press is saying that Landis likely has an out in his contract if the team isn't on the Pro Tour. Others are saying that Andy Rihs might end the team altogether if they can't get in. Either way, I am pretty sure Landis will be riding for **a** team next year, the way he tore up the mountains for Lance this year. If nothing else, I am sure there's more than a few domestic pro teams that would love to have him.

Hey Andy nice letter you wrote to VN today.

I couldn't agree more, how ignorant for Pound to make such statements.

The Court of Arbitration of Sport ordered the UCI to place the Swiss-based Phonak squad back on to the roster of teams contesting the 2005 ProTour

So January has come and gone. I thought Tyler H was going to let the public know the facts behind his doping allegations.:confused:

Wasn't his hearing pushed to Feb.? I think the hearing was the trigger for him letting the public know.
