Suspended 1 month, while on a planned 1 month vacation probably.

Total BS.

It's called a "DiLuca-suspension"

It's actually

the month after his 1 month vacation

That was my first thought too.

Basically a warning.

I’m okay with it.

You're okay with this?

Somebody send the police to ursula’s house, clearly Theo is holding a gun to his head right now.

Ha ha!

I’ve been wondering what that thing was.

Ok this one’s doping, but I don’t want to start a new thread anywhere for it. The recent Baby Giro has just caught its first doper. Twenty-three year old Gianandrea Marioli was nabbed for EPO on the fourth stage. The new generation, eh.

Actually they caught 4 before the first stage...so I guess you can say it is the first after the race.

another reason that epo bottles should have child-proof caps

Question; Will Rabobank fine him for this offense?

Then again such acts are probably not on their list of fineable acts because their team is not known for its attackers.

eecch

I’ve been in the Bos-didn’t-mean-it camp. This is just the UCI feeling like they have to do something. Which is to say it’s devoid of any real rationale.

But that's what's so lame about it.

I think he fucked up, and he fucked up big. But clearly, reasonable people are differing. So pick a side and go with it. None of this stupid splitting it down the middle crap.
