Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

AFLD-Day Open Thread

Supposedly today we will learn the names of a few riders who have turned up positive samples for CERA during or shortly before the Tour de France. Only Cycling could make the economic bailout seem fun. Anyway, L'Equipe's headline so far is Frank Schleck's "tourmente" so maybe today won't be so eventful. But if/when anything breaks, post it here.

I don't want to rain on anyones parade/funeral

but everywhere I’ve read they say the first test will be completed Friday, not announced. But perhaps everyone is confident in the labs inability to keep the results confidential for more than five minutes? They did say that the riders would be notified first though (I know, I know, laugh at my innocence, I’m just a blue-eyed boy from the country.).

I thought it was announced between Friday and Monday for the first set, next week for the final seven.

Hmm, I’m thinking this evening European time, at the earliest.

by Jen See on Oct 3, 2008 11:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

yep, read that too.

“The first results of blood tests to detect CERA in ten samples taken during this year’s Tour de France could be known on Friday, with other results some time next week, according to French newspaper L’Equipe.”

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 3, 2008 12:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Announcing

Only those riders who produce a non-negative or the names of all the riders that were subject to further testing?

First round

The first round of announcements is supposed to be 3 positives. The following round, seven more sometime next week.

Eh, we wait.

A new dope has been entered in profesionel cycling. It’s based on the same sources as CERA. The only difference are the side effects. They are not as begign as CERA. The symptons are starting at the end of the season. After a whole year of great perfomances their is a switch in the head of them who used it. Suddenly their all Centaurs in their head. The squad of Podiumcafe have been guilty on the new drugs. How they could be infected is a mystery. Stay tuned!

I count myself in that class as well, except I know I’m not going to win any money at it and do it more for fun and fitness than anything else. That they are even using to this degree strikes me as the height of pathetic.

There are articles in Sportwereld.be and Le Figaro this morning (well, it’s morning to me) concerning a possible boycott of Paris-Tours by all 18 Pro Tour teams, to protest the inclusion of two Pro Continental teams (Mitsubishi and LPR Brakes) who have refused to participate in or help pay for the UCI’s biological passport system.

But I didn’t read the change in leadership as the UCI whipping the ASO into shape by any means. I think there’s been a rapprochement for sure, and it’s clear that the Amaury family wants to end the war. But that doesn’t mean that they’re going to compromise on every count, the UCI is going to have to play nice also.

Doesn’t look to me like ASO’ve compromised on any counts. You look back a few years to what Clerc was saying and that’s the deal that’s been struck. ASO lost Clerc, Verbruggen left the UCI to spend more time with his money. Fair exchange’s no robbery.

Finally, my Danish heritage hasn't been a complete waste after all :D

It’s rather hard to find a replacement for the Danish pronouncement of ‘y’ in the English language.

The Danish ‘y’ is very much like the French pronouncement of ‘u’ in Mur (de Huy, La Flèche Wallonne) and the German ‘ü’ in würst.

I once interviewed an Irish band who took his name. They told me: “We say it as ‘the tie-co bra-hay’. And it’s wrong! The Germans pronounce it ‘the tick-o brau’, which sounds like the thicko woman, in German. But the Czechs – which I believe is right, because Brahe worked there at the end of his career – they pronounce it ‘the tick-o bra-hay.’”

I think they got sick of the pronunciation problems cause they changed their name to Tychonaut.

LA's Rapid Response Unit Responds Rapidly

Reuters saying it, so it must be true

“The last time I checked, I won the Tour seven straight years and was never once found to be guilty of doping despite seven years of intense scrutiny. Not to mention that my team of 25 riders over those seven years was also never found to be positive. Also, according to industry standards, the TV ratings, worldwide media impressions, spectators along the route, and global sponsorships were at an all time high. Where’s the embarrassment in that? It comes down to an issue of distraction. While I love the event and France’s people, I cannot accept this sort of grandstanding.”

A question for folks better informed than me. LA says 25 riders over seven years. I count only 23, including LA himself (Frankie Andreu, Lance Armstrong, José Azevedo, Manuel Beltran Martinez, Pascal Deramé, Vjatceslav Ekimov, Tyler Hamilton, Roberto Heras Hernandez, George Hincapie Garcés, Benoît Joachim, Steffen Kjaergaard, Floyd Landis, Kevin Livingston, Peter Meinert-Nelsien, Benjamin Noval Gonzalez, Pavel Padrnos, Victor Hugo Peña Grisales, Yaroslav Popovych, José Luis Rubiera Vigil, Paolo Savoldelli, Christian Vande Velde, Cédric Vasseur and Jonathan Vaughters). Of whom four have since been caught, two have confessed and at least another four have some explaining to do.

by Bruce Suomi on Oct 4, 2008 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe because many in the media – partic the anglophone media – seem to think that the Tour = LA, LA = doping, QED the Tour = doping.

Cycling’s been able to bury the doping story in the past. It’d have the odd outbreak for a season in each decade, but was never really sustained. 1955 was swiftly forgotten. 1967 was swiftly forgotten. 1978 was swiftly forgotten. 1988 was swiftly forgotten. 1999 was swiftly forgotten. But since 2001 it’s been a constant part of the story of the Tour and impossible to bury. If LA wants to point to all the gains of his reign he might also want to look to the losses, to see hoe they balance out. He can’t claim credit for all the gains without accepting some credit for the losses too.

"LA says 25 riders over seven years. I count only 23"

He may have been referring to the whole team (not just those in the Tour), which would usually have consisted of 25 riders. Well, I’ve confirmed the 2004 roster contained 25, and don’t feel the inclination to check every other year.

I also don’t think any of those guys tested positive while on Postal/Discovery during those years, so technically he’s probably correct.

The whole team

1999: 16 riders
2000: 21 riders
2001: 23 riders
2002: 22 riders
2003: 22 riders
2004: 25 riders
2005: 28 riders

63 different riders in total, including LA.

And yes, none failed a test during that period. Though there are the two confessors. And the curious case of Gianpaolo Mondini, who I think is one of only two riders Bruyneel has ever fired for doping-related reasons.

"Why do you love cancer?"

AP have now updated their story to include LA’s rapid response. As well as the guff above, it includes this quote from him:

“I’ve stated clearly, my main objective in 2009 is to bring about global awareness of a disease that kills 8 million people annually worldwide. Nobody ever said that I need the Tour de France in order to try and achieve this.”

Odd that last sentence.

I thought the whole point of him holding his global get together in Paris after the end of the Tour was that he’d be using the Tour to build up media interest in the summit.

Start your speculation of the subtext of it though. It’s potentially interesting.

"Why do you love cancer?"

in the context of a comic like Toto, it works well as a punchline :-) – but I find it incredibly scary that there are those who really think like that, who figure someone is either for Lance or against Lance and if they determine (by whatever criteria they use) that someone is against Lance it must mean that they are “for cancer” or “against cancer-fighting efforts”. Which to me is totally illogical, yet I’ve seen numerous statements to that effect on other forums now and in the past … the world isn’t quite so black and white as some seem to think…

by guidemd on Oct 5, 2008 1:44 PM EDT reply actions  

And once it’s been used as a punchline, it becomes a catchphrase. And over in this part of the world we seem to like catchphrase-heavy comedy, like the Fast Show etc. I suspect most people round here would read it for what it is.

Given the relatively relaxed atmosphere round here, where people can try to be be both serious and amusing at the same time, I don’t think there ought be a problem with using it as a comedic catchphrase.

that there’s no problem with people using it as a comedic catchphrase, that wasn’t my point (and was why I put the :-) after the mention of the Toto comic). My concern is with those who use it or similar phrases in a totally serious way, not here but I’ve seen it elsewhere… it becomes an easy way to criticize anyone who questions Armstrong’s motives and to deflect discussion from the real questions about his comeback.

Uuuumm … maybe you might want to look at the way LA deploys his cancer cause. Either it’s the real reason for his comeback or he’s the one using cancer to deflect attention from the real reason for his return. If anyone’s motives are being questioned, it’s LA’s.

Recap of the story and interview with Bodry (in french)

on Stade 2

Some of the info fro Bodry: the ones that are being re-tested are the ones that received a letter before the Tour stating that their blood values were ‘strange’ …. he did not and does not want to give names.

There are 2 tests to detect Cera, developed independently, one at LNDD and one at Lausanne labs. These new tests will be done using both tests and both labs, and only if both tests detect Cera will a rider be said to be doping.

Bodry will the one to contact the riders if positive., via letter, this week.

Bodry is curious about the biological passport and how Ricco managed to pass through without issues. He will talk to Ricco to see if he had his 6 tests done…. he is very concerned about this.
