Let the speculation begin...

I'm thinking one of the existing sponsors will step up.

Trek
AMD
Livestrong (Did you notice the hat Contador wore during the awards?)

Since Amgen is already sponsoring the Tour of Ca, I am guessing that one of the leading manufacturers of steroids will step up.:incazzato:

Amgen makes recombinant DNA drugs. Notably repo. The stuff is manufactured in the overies of chinese hamsters.

Maybe they could just get a pharmaceutical company so they can cut out the middle man.

Did you see that David Millar and Dave Zabriskie are going to Slipstream (Vaughters Dope-Free Team)?

I think that's pretty cool!

OK now Mayo just tested positive for EPO from a test taken during the tour! :sick:

Really! That is good news also. He had a good tour. I hope that means all these guys are clean!

Where is Hincapie going I wonder?

Best friends, roommates, practically married.

In David Z's defense, if he were doping I would hope he would have better results.

Contador is dirty so is Valverde.

Didn't he blame his performance on new shoes/cleats rather than attributing it to stopping a doping regimen?:eyeroll:

Note - I have no evidence or suspesion that he doped, I am just being pesimistic.....

Those accusations are so last year. The question is, was he doping this year?

Very interesting. I just think he is dirty I guess. :nono:

I just think he is dirty I guess.

But I would really, really like to believe he is clean. I was just so impressed with his ability to attack in the mountains that I would like to have faith in him. He was so fun to watch. Especially compared to his teamate Levi who I pretty much fell asleep when they showed his tactics....:zzz::sleep2::zzz:

Chicken on the other hand is a piece of sheite. The way he was flailing his arms at the motorbikes on the last mountain stage was the last straw.:nono:

I guess Contador offered his DNA to clear his name in the Puerto case. Am I the only one that read that somewhere?

It's the Chinese company that manufactures the yellow Livestrong bracelets.
