Following the success of the US Postal team the English Post Office are to enter a team in next year's tour.

Lance Armstrong has agreed to lead the new EPO team and every other rider will have a place guaranteed. Every official and trainer has agreed to support EPO and will turn a blind eye to EPO when necessary. They are expected to shoot up the rankings.

Only cheats need apply.

I sense a certain bitterness there in your initial post... I take it you're not bothering to watch the Tour this year? ;)

Interesting. This will be true when pigs will fly.

Xen, I think this is what Donut was playing with. And just when I thought it had crept under his radar :D

from the ABC site

"An investigation into allegations of drug use by five of Australia's elite cyclists has found that there is insufficient evidence for any charges to be laid.

Banned rider Mark French had accused team-mates Graeme Brown, Jobie Dajka, Sean Eadie, Shane Kelly and Brett Lancaster of using his room at the Australian Institute of Sport in Adelaide as a 'shooting gallery' to inject illegal substances.

Retired Supreme Court judge Robert Anderson QC handed his report into the allegations to the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) on Friday night.

Finding there was not enough evidence to substantiate the claims, Mr Anderson reportedly called French's reliability as a witness into question.

Mr Anderson reportedly wrote that French had qualified his claims of drug abuse "almost to vanishing point" and said that in effect he had almost withdrawn the allegations.

Cycling Australia (CA) chief executive officer Graham Fredericks welcomed the dismissal of the charges.

But he warned that the sport now faced a tough battle to regain the trust of the Australian public."


I hope the go through the whole lot of them with the strictest of drug checks every day. Drug cheats Like French really piss me off and the stain they leave on others that surround them never really goes away.

I don't think he means just these guy's, the sports rife with it, some people are just a bit shrewder than others.
