I think the UCI were quite lenient on that one - especially when Lance was barred from the Giro for that "looking at Pat McQuaid a bit funny" incident.

Boonen sniffs victory, but turns out to be load of old toot.

Well, I wonder what's really going on. This points to personal problems, so don't be so quick to mock.

Basically Tom Boonen went to a party took a few lines with his mates and a few women and generally incubating a good party hangover ... why is this even a issue if the drug isn't performance enhancing?

you don't have a monopoly on understanding or compassion Oliver; it's possible to make a few facile jokes whilest not being blind to, or uncaring about, the serious problems behind the situation.

I don't want to gang up on you mate, as you seem to be a genuinely nice bloke.

But sometimes people just want to get wrecked or similar on a night out.

At time like these I find myself reading the gospel according to Eddie Izzard

“Performance enhancing drugs are banned in the Olympics. Ok, we can
swing with that. But performance debilitating drugs should not be
banned. Smoke a joint and win the hundred meters, fair play for you.
That's pretty damn good. Unless someone's dangling a Mars bar off in
the distance.”

I love Coke!

1927: "Pure as sunlight"

Now surely, that is a line that a dealer would be telling you.

PMSL That's a gem Hippy. Thank you.

"Boonen signs with Colombia, takes the High Road"

best by far.

I've just spotted this link to an article on the grauniad from a few weeks ago about MotoGP:

"Stoner sees off Rossi to begin season on a high"

See what they did there?

Puns a plenty.

not his second but his third cocaine positive:

Tom Boonen's positive doping control for cocaine announced last week was his third, one more than originally believed for the drug. The Belgian's first positive test for cocaine and ecstasy, only now made public, was in November 2007.
The sprinter faced an out-of-competition doping control by the International Cycling Union (UCI) on November 15, 2007. The testing lab in Gent, Belgium, found cocaine and ecstasy, a so-called "party drug" that is an amphetamine derivative.
Neither substance is prohibited out-of-competition, so the lab reported it as a negative test. According to the belga news agency, Boonen and Quick Step only learned of this test in December of 2008

this just makes me like Boonen more.
