Froome to edge out Wiggo.

Fuentes found guilty, gets a 1 year sentence.
Four years ban from being a doctor (shurly a lifetime ban is in order???)
More importantly, the blood bags that were confiscated (and through his guilt rendered prosecutable evidence) are NOT to be handed to anti doping authorities for DNA testing.
If it was guaranteed that only cyclists were involved I'd bet they would allow testing - with the risk of footballers, tennis players and golfers involved, the bags are left untested.
Stinks.

I predict that in the Tour, Sky will ride a really hard tempo on the first climb, which will shed everybody except for two or three riders, all bad time triallists, and then the Tour will be decided. I mean, it's obviously a very new tactic that's never worked like that for anyone, but I'm confident in my predictions.
-
I predict in the TTT that Wiggins will ride away from the other 8 Sky riders, putting a good 42seconds into Froome. He punches the air as he crosses the line.
Then realises that the time from the fifth rider counts. Doh.

This +1000, lame cover up, cyclists are the sacrificial lamb. Other sports must be so thankful for dirty cycling to carry the punishment for their shared guilt
I'm going to write a letter to the times about this. Then shit on it

more a reflection of the power that big football clubs have in spain, plus a really unpopular government, huge cuts and massive unemployment-leave the people their illusions and all that.
it's not like the spanish are all dirty filthy cheating bastards-they just haven't adapted the admirable british trait of building people up to pull them down again at the first convenient opportunity as the social equivalent of a nicotine patch for real blood sports.

As i heard it being reported the type of doping offences being alleged were not even a crime in Spain at the time the blood bags were produced by the various nameless athletes.
The only charges they could bring against Fuentes were on medical safety grounds because he treated patients off site and not in a medical environment.
In my opinion the Judge is right to say they should be destroyed because whether people like it or not patient confidentiality should still prevail, unless of course something like a murder has been committed in which case it should be down to the police and the courts to ask for evidence not Dick Pound and his extra judicial anti-doping organization.
I'm not pro drugs in sport but i am very pro sovereignty of the individual and medical records are about as personal as it gets, third parties should not have the right to access such data on the pretext that someone has cheated at games.

I don't see why not. Giro ends on 27th may, tour starts on 29th june.
Brad is a good stage racer, look at the TT he put out at the end of the tour last year. And was then stronger than ever going into the olympics.I thought this. Wiggins is a proper diesel. If he can avoid blowing up in the Giro I reckon he can keep his head down and train hard for 4 weeks and still be competitive, maybe even have an advantage in that he's not 'riding into form' in the first week of the Tour.
He could put valuable minutes into his rivals in that first week and still have a buffer if he fades in the last week of the Tour. -
if wiggo wins the Giro the biggest hindrance to the Tour might be another decent into living out Welleresque binges-Cound leaving him anonymous crates of beer on his doorstep, filing his bidon with whisky sours, putting cheeky wee rolliees in his musette...
