wonder who is room mate was? and if I was him, I'd be concerned about Duenas saying that the illegal drugs found in the room were mine.

Standard statement from the team:
Quote:
"We're absolutely stunned by what is happening and by the behaviour of
one of our riders. He seems to have secretly used banned substances,
hiding everything from everybody else in the team," Corti said in a
statement issued by Team Barloworld.

Cardenas would be the logical guess since he abandoned during today's stage

Corti has such a history with doping and now for him to completely throw the rider to the wolves in this situation, especially in light of the fact Duenas will face pressure to talk given this is a crime, the man must have huge cajones (or however you say it in Italian) if the team is actually involved.

Uh-oh. It is probably obvious that under police questioning Moises will admit that the stash found was for both riders.

I really don't see why all the team's hotel rooms are not searched. The team doctor probably has a whole suitcase of junk.

I thought the same thing when I read that they weren't searched. Seems like with the fines etc imposed by ASO, they would have written that in also.

Great I say - get those cheating bastards out of the Tour - hopefully this will make the rest think twice about their own practises - I wonder if we'll see a bunch of sub par performances today???

Barloworld's first drug bust - nice one you spanish dipsh*t.

Hey - can we start stereotyping Spaniards as dopers now? 2 for 2 and counting...
a mind is a terrible thing to waste...

I wouldn't think the ASO has any ability to tell the French police how to do their job?

They might even be constrained by French Law as to who's room they can search.

That is probably the case, but you have to think that if one rider was self-medicating instead of using team resources and they searched all the teams' rooms then they would find a decent number of riders with their own supply.

Soler is thinking that crashing out maybe was not such a bad thing.

I want to see what happens when the HGH test results come back.

Looks like Borghini also abandoned.

DNF Félix Rafael Cárdenas (Col) Barloworld
DNF Paolo Longo Borghini (Ita) Barloworld

==edit==
Nevermind, apparently he broke a collarbone.

Exactly. But if Duemas begins to sing to Police, others team-mate, managers could be visited!

They are lighting up the stages and it's more than just their specially designed jerseys for the Tour de France. ;-)
