And actually using some common sense, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out there is a window to dope right after the testers have tested. How often do you think in the past couple of years that one OOC test has been followed up with another one in short order? I would guess almost never given there don't appear to have been that many OOC tests in the first place. |

I think the fact that the tests were 'ordered' by a judge says a lot. They were also visited by the testers during their breakfast on Thursday... |

This is one reason why the UCI's passport system won't work well. Not enough testing. The Slipstream model which provides enough tests for once a week testing would be much better; they can afford to skip some weeks in order to put other tests close to each other.

Yes they do. Sylvester Smydz was not tested yesterday (but he was there and he was tested on Monday). Lampre: Second blood test in three days http://www.cyclingheroes.info/id1204.html |

Other reports say the late night tests were done by CONI and the morning test were done by the UCI. True? If so are they connected or just a coincidence?

Re: What were Ballan & Cunego really at?
Current rumors are that the Lampre tests were connected to an investigation of Cecchini and it may be linked to information from the Oil for Drugs case or from the Fuentes. This could get very interesting.

oil for drugs, that was in Cunego's first year, and would have been about Ballan's first year too, don't even know if he was a pro. He has a pretty rapid rise, as far as I know he was an unknown espoir. |

I'd say it's to do with Puerto, look at 3 riders that are known to have been involved, Ullrich, Basso & Hamilton, what do they all have in common? Cecchini. Even others that were rumoured to be in it, Petacchi, was a client of Cecchini. Amigo di Birillo (Schleck) would have used him as he was CSC's doctor. maybe it's far fetched but, I think they may have got their training/doping plans from Cecchini and he referred them to Fuentes for the dope, thus Cecchini would never be fround in posession of any gear. |
