We have seen this time and time again in Italy. Juventus riders who test positive and are caught on video being injected crap are immediately declared 'non-negative'. Cyclists are the only ones who dope, remember. Il calcio è pulito!

For at least the last 3 years and espcially in the last year, the German media have been all over the sport and the language they use - esp on TV when they allow those they interview to speak for them - is worse than anything you'd year in America, except for perhaps Fox.

I can't see how T-Mobile wouldn't be swayed by the impact that must have on their business.
