    Saunier Duval rather than CSC. Sastre and Shleck were the two CSC GC riders?

    Another of the old guard, however Contador is still getting linked with Puerto...

    WTF!? I knew it was Mayo and not Sastre! I guess I'm just in anti-Denmark buzz this week

    He's Spanish so he'll obviously be linked. Shame if he's innocent

    That, and the mystery "A.C." labels on the documents. Pretty easy to put it to bed by agreeing to a DNA comparison.

    Didn't the Tour director say the only link was that a taped conversation between a rider and the doctor in question mentioned Contador, but only in the context of general chat re-performances etc. I think the Tour director, given his determination to out any cheating, would have been less supportive if there was a more real link. Am I missing something?

    Well it appears to be one person that keeps giving it legs. Like you say, Le Tour weren't shy in coming forward with concerns about other riders...

    The "AC" on the Liberty Seguros team was "to be given the same as JJ or nothing at all" (something like that) JJ was Jorg Jaschke who's since admitted "occassional use"

    Contador actually wrote an open later to Spanish cycling fans last year saying he was 100% clean and this week he said "I was just in the wrong team at the wrong time" He's apparently been totally cleared by UCI, Spanish Federation and Spanish police

    Yep, there seems to be a German scientist in possession of documentation implicating Contador, and Le Monde seems to be making allegations too.

    In fairness, the French papers appear to try to discredit everyone who finishes above the top frenchmen.

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
