!!Hondo Tests Positive!!

Irish Indurain

Just saw it on eurosport.com. Doesn't look like an april fools either...

Here's what it said on the site:
Danilo Hondo has tested positive for banned stimulants following two urine tests at the Tour of Murcia in March. Gerolsteiner team boss Hans-Michael Holczer confirmed the news and said Hondo will be suspended pending a B-sample, but he refused to divulge the substance found.


"Danilo swears he cannot explain the positive sample," said Holczer. "We're just trying to find out what happened."

Hondo declared himself shocked: "Please understand that I don't want to say much about it."

El Loto

This is just what we need.
Can't wait to hear from House and Flyer

Ha ha ha! Only the roles will change. Since Hondo actually tested positive, House will be the one claiming all riders must be dopers, and since Hondo, while having some good results, is no dominant athlete in the sport, Flyer will claim there is no way he is doping. ...Just kidding guys

Powerful Pete

It was the first test, right? Means they will test the second sample... hhhhmmmm.

I do not think it is an April Fool's... all over Italian sites also, like www.gazzetta.it and www.ansa.it

Ahh, nothing gets the season really started like the first positive of the year.

Once again, how embarrassing for us all.

First european positive...I won`t count all latinos (remember Vuelta Guatemala hehe)! But it`s not first doping scandal! Aqua Sappone was caught one week ago with some hormones, but still nothing new except one suspended rider..

No one who has any common sense thinks that doping is not a problem in professional cycling (or any human performance sport really). I think the statement is more referring to your incessant ranting about LAs guilt without any basis. We all know doping is a problem. But the way you approach it is analogous to some hick NASCAR fan saying Little E (or substitute your favorite driver here) is a cheater and pays off the tech inspectors to allow him to remove his restrictor plate(or whatever I'm not a NASCAR fan) because he wins, while others are the only ones caught cheating. Make sense?

Of course there is cheating in NASCAR, thus the analogy...

I have to agree with Houser regarding the coherence of your responses. My point was you keep trying to grind an axe with speculation, conjecture, and hearsay regarding LA in particular. I am begining to think you are probably just trolling.
Ahhh who am I kidding...LA is a doper, there I admit it, his henchmen paid me not to tell anyone but I can't live with this burden any longer (besides I wanted more money and they wouldn't pay me). There now can we let it go and you can stop trolling these forums? Hondo is clean, but LA is a DOPER!!!!!

Come on wolfix, what is your problem... I mean the last winner of the TdF before LA died of a heart attack brought on by cocaine abuse, then there is LA's personal assistant who saw steriods in his medicine cabinent, and a myriad of other air-tight examples that prove LA is a doper...why do you need Greg Lemonds $.02? Can't you see the obvious conclusion? How much proof do you need to convict someone? Geesh, some people just don't get it.

This is the situation ....... Cocaine use is not a performance enhancing drug..........In the bedroom yes, but not on the bike...
The assistant ???? That is the weakest of all ...... The man tried to hold Lance up 1st.......
Why am I asking about Greg Lemond ????? At the end of this month I will be in the company of a man who has ridden in the TDF >>> He is a very good friend Of Greg's and has been since Greg was a junior.... If Flyer cannot come up with the post where he read that Greg stated that Lance used EPO , maybe Greg will be interested into looking into the reasoning of Flyer's accusations .... This may be a public forum , and maybe anything can be said , but we must be careful to be able to back up what we write about serious accusations ....... I do not believe in connecting the dots when it comes to a man's reputation ......
Cycling has a problem with dope......But we must protect the cyclists until the doping agency proves otherwise......
Plus , we do not convict anyone .

(Whispered only to Wolfix... it was a joke.)

No need to restate the obvious regarding the total lack of merit of most of this "evidence" against Lance. Flyer is trolling, let it go man, let it go.
