ps

not a mention on cyclingnews or velonews, but the article implied there are names attached the just didn’t publish them:

“No evidence has been presented about the other cyclists cited as being a part of the network, but VeloNation will report on any concrete facts as they emerge.”

Question is, which country will take action when Spain fails to care about this?

Italy again? Germany maybe?

The original article

is over at El Pais. They publish the names of the cyclists who were apparently swapping SMS, in the last paragraph:

El intercambio de SMS lo realizaba con corredores como Mancebo, ya implicado en la Operación Puerto, y con otros que nunca han dado positivo, como Dani Moreno, Luis León Sánchez, Alexander Kolobnev y Luis Maté.

But they hint that these SMS were rather anodyne, and the police suspect that someone tipped off Dr Jesus Losa that an investigation was being mounted. Duenas also talks about being given mystery injections by Dr Losa. Dr Losa’s name has already appeared in other doping stories.

Moreno, hmm...

does * Lotto have a death wish in picking riders potentially linked to doping scandals? (as in, they announced today that they’d signed him). Hopefully for their sake (and Cadel’s), it’s all just rumour…
