More EPO: Moises Duenas busted

Thing I hate is the cloud it cast over the whole damn team, as I’ve come to see doping as more of a team issue than an individual issue. Oh well, back to the racing…

The 4th this year (astarloa, patxi vila, beltran, dueñas).

Poop.
The idiots that are still doping make me ill.

Extract a unit of blood and keep them in the race without the opportunity to drop out. That would give a new meaning to the term lantern rouge.

Maybe it’s a good sign that in previous years the dopers were the bigger names, but now it’s more the C or D list riders?

Or maybe I’m speaking too soon…

but I like that they continue to be caught. It’s a process, albeit a slow one.

And when are the freaking Spanish riders going to learn? Sheesh.

Another old domestique… get lost Duenas.

hear the AC/DC song echoing in my head “Shot down in flames”

I think that it is good for the fight [against doping], that is to say, that the controls are going on. Moise Duenas, turned professional last year and joined a French team, then left to a foreign team, and who began to climb the cols with the best, has gotten himself caught, too bad for him! Those like him who want to continue to race bikes and cheat, the sport does not need any more. It is sad for the sport because everyone will again say that cyclists are cheaters.

it looks like Dueñas was hiding banned substances in his room.

but some countries more dirty than others

Spain must take the cake at the moment – Beltran, Duenas, Mayo, Heras, amongst others and the whole Operacion Puerto affair…

Italy – Basso, Moreni, Mazzoleni, etc, the Oil for Drugs affair…

I’m sure there are many others who don’t come immediately to mind.

France seems to have had fewer scandals recently. Also have fewer great riders or big winners. We kinda bag out French cycling for being weak, but maybe they don’t win as much because they’re cleaner?

they haven’t said ezactly what he was possessing, but oopsy, he had a little something stashed away. sigh, really, you have to be so dumb to cruise around france possessing stuff you shouldn’t be possessing at this point. just ask dario frigo

here’s an update thingy in italian. basically says what king o’ doping said. with some blah blah from corti, that isn’t really worth effort of translatin’

Hmmm…. let’s see, they found lots of substances for which he didn’t have a prescription in his hotel room. I’d have to worry about his roommate, too, assuming he had one, which most riders in the TdF have (how would you hide substances and their administration from your roommate in the cramped TdF housing conditions?). If he’s alone in a room now, and some one who dropped out used to be his roommate (I hope it wasn’t Soler), I would be concerned about that person, too.

that Cardenas and Longo Borghini, both Barlo, were dnf today, no doubt of acute gastroenteritis . . .

According to a report in Le Monde, Christophe Moreau was required to stop racing after Paris-Nice back in March, because of elevated Cortico levels.

is to see the bio-passport for Beltran and Duenas. mmm did Barloworld ever participate in that? If I remember they were late to that party.

But of course that would mean that all the organizations would have to behave like mature adults, like that’s going to happen

not just CSC, Garmin and Columbia…. (and Astana)
*Lotto, SD, Caisse have won many stages/or are wearing yellow, yet none of those teams have anykind of internal AD program…

Spanish press is reporting that Duenas confessed to French authorities. He was held in custody over night, and released this am.

and other products in the form of liquids or packets.

According to l’equipe, Duenas confessed that he acted alone when buying the products and injected them without the team doctor’s knowledge
