Cuddles thinks its a good thing: Foxsports Article

Andy doesnt: Herald Sun Article

While im all for eradicating drugs from the sport, the amount of Clenbuterol in Contadors system was so small, id almost believe him (didnt it get picked up in a lab that tests levels 10-100x more sensitive than what the Anti-Doping body guidelines suggest?)

it's gotta be the shittest way to win something so big. I was saying to Norbs earlier one of the best bit about wining TDF would be the last day, this poor bugger is now classed as a winner without getting any of the cool bits that go with it.

I am glad he got done. Not so glad the youngest Schleck sister has won a TdF. And really pissed that Armstrong dodged a bullet. I hope they catch that bastard at some stage. The more I read about him, the fouler the stench is.

I'm glad Contador got done too but very pissed off it was late and the ban gets back dated so it's effectively a half year ban. Sounds like a whimpy penalty on something that the UCI seems so determined to fight against.

I would rather see Armstrong's case dismissed because a definitive answer whether right or wrong is better than more years of arguments, trials and a mess against the cycling community. I'm pretty sick of hearing about it and I'd rather just let the case die, even if I do think he was a cheat :faint:

Until they introduce life-time bans for dopers then this sport will never move on.
What a complete watse of time & effort all this has been, incl the LA case.

I'm over it & will go back to what I love, peddalling my bike for fun....

Ulrich has had his results from 2005 on removed and is technically banned until August 2013.

I'll only sum it up with... derp.

Why don't they make a "as many drugs and doping as your body can handle" class?

Yeah. Wish they had the balls to take on drug offenders before/during events.

I wonder how many other cyclists will fall victim now that it seems like they are nailing every drug cheat from last decade...
