Which foreign riders will be most vulnerable to this? Valverde? Bettini is probably sweating about now.

Re: CONI reopens Puerto
Damn Basso must be enjoying this one. I assume he's safe as he's already 'confessed'.
Valverde, Contador, what about the Liquigas boys including DiLuca? |

Re: CONI reopens Puerto
Is he trying to make a name for himself or is someone being targeted?
Trivia question: Who is the last TDF winner that is not under harsh scrutiny at this time? I am not talking about suspicion or rumor, but who might be investigated.

Indurain. Ettore Torri is making a name for himself but... he is also the one who banned the first non-cyclist because of Puerto (I forgot the name, I blieve it was an Italian Track and Field athlete). I am sure he is targetting Spanish riders especially Valverde. Italy doesn't like it that Basso is banned while others are still racing. Since the Tour comes to Italy this year it will be interesting to see how this will develop. |

Re: CONI reopens Puerto
Astana has several OP riders. This cannot be good for them.

The latest is that Torri also wants to question several European football- and tennis players and ofcourse there is the ticking timebomb of the Austrian lab: several German cross country ski athletes and cyclists from all over Europe are allegedly involved... and the... Russian maffia. Its said that Austrian NADA was threatend by them... Its still a lot of rumours and gueswork but I have my teeth in the story. |

I do feel sorry for the riders, such as Grajales, Ollerenshaw that joined the team this year - before the news about Hamilton, Botero.... came out. |

I don't think Hamilton can be sanctioned. The WADA code is a little ambiguous but the way I read it, any doping that takes place before a positive does not count as a new offense. It can only be used to increase the sanction if the sanction for the previous offense is more severe. Since there is only one punishment in cycling (two years), Hamilton has already served his time. Sevilla and Botero have already been exiled to the backwater of cycling. What more could CONI do.

More likely it will Leipheimer. Klodi will go down for involvement with Freiburg.
