Here, the following is from May 16th....
Rock Racing announced Friday evening that it has been in contact with
Alessandro Petacchi ever since Milram terminated its contract with the
sprinter. "Every so-called drug breach is going to be celebrated," said
Rock Racing spokesperson Joe Spokesperson, the team's spokesperson. At the
team presentation in January, Spokesperson announced that the team policy
was "An immediate suspension in case of a doping suspicion means more
publicity for Rock Racing when we get another doper to join the Rock."
The CAS ruled on May 6th that Petacchi did not cheat (wink wink) or abuse
(wink wink) his asthma medication Salbutamol, but that he was nevertheless
in breach of UCI anti-doping regulations. It ordered him suspended for one
year, and said that he was to call Michael Ball directly. Michael Ball
could not be reached for comment because he was too busy trying to build an
all womens team around convict Marianne Jones, former body builder Tammy
Thomas, and a female midget named Fireplug.
Also Michael Ball's spokesperson said that he'd be hiring a laughing German
midget and camel to be a symbol for the future of Rock Racing. Rock Racing
will be officially releasing the following video clip in the very near
future after they finalize the contract with the laughing German midget.
