Now we know why Di Luca, Mazzoleni and Bennati have been so good this year.

Default Now we know why Di Luca, Mazzoleni and Bennati have been so good this year.

It's because they don't have to be available for out-of-competition testing:

Di Luca and Mazzoleni are both clients of Carlos Santuccione a.k.a. Ali the Chemist. He must have all the right connections.

Bennati have also been linked to Santuccione in the past, but some claim it was an error.

I don't get it. How can Di Luca not be included? He won the inaugural ProTour title. Last year's season was not great for him but Isidro Nozal, who has not done jack since 2003, is being tested.

Very reassuring, though, to see that they are keeping a close eye on those Burkina Fasso boys.

Every so often i see that someone called Flyer has replied to a thread. However, when i go to that thread i dont see a post by him. I have seen people reply to him though. Is there a reason why i cant see his/her posts?
