Dude, do you have a freaking clue as to what we are talking about here??? When did JB's boys win the Giro? Also, I am curious . . . do you STILL think that Lance never doped? See thunder's post before you respond.

They have a good reason to exclude Contadope, it's to avoid 7 victories in a cheating row!

That post was not directed at you; so please don't take it personally. But freeagent35 posted in April '05 that he would never be convinced that LA doped. Hence the question specifically directed at him.

It seems so much more natural that they would follow Hincapie or Tommy D., or maybe change to a rider like Tyler Farrer. Bizarre.
There are some scary avatar pictures of the Hog over there.

This is like an episode of the Office.

Yeah.. but if you read Jorg Jaksche's account, sometimes they don't give as much medical support to the "C" team riders on the roster. Obviously Contador was one of the lesser talents and would have been ignored by team management. <I don't have a sarcastic emoticon that carries enough sarcasm to put here>

Man.. you are killing me Frig. This could be the greatest ruse/infiltration ever. This JV guy might even get invited to an Astana dinner/practice/team bus out of this. I can only smile inside at the thought of Jeff Vader shaking the hands of the Astana team at a photo op.

I think its like an episode of Friends. Where Phoebe comes onto Chandler in a bluff, to get him to pony up about his relationship with Monica.
