They've got quite a bit of work to do on their site today!

The Cycling Plus front page now has a double meaning too. It reads:
"Basso
....the chosen one
Can Jan and the rest stop him?"

There is an unsubstantiated comment on Velonews that the whole CSC team
has now been withdrawn.

With Mr 60% at the helm I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

The whole circus should be cancelled.

It is so sad to see one of the most beautiful sports destroying itself
this way.

There's nothing on the NewsWires yet

Astaná-Würth are definitely out and have acknowledged that they will
not start

VeloSnooze is probably just confused the squads, orare peddling
******** inthe hope of generating a few more hits

The fact that products have been found in their dustbins seems to have
been substantiated in various sources. Given the way other teams have
been dealt with, and the rather miraculous improvement of many riders
under the tutelage of M 60%, it seems that winter team building
exercises in the snow & ice haven't been the sole reason for their success.
ET gone home!
:-((
Still I'll enjoy travelling around France even if the love affair with
"le cyclisme" is severely dented.
Bonne Route

Professional cycling has always been associated with doping - why do you
think this is any different?

It looked as if it had been clearing itself up.
Clearly it had not.

This time I suspect many sponsors will say enough is enough.

I also feel sorry for those kids (and even those posers) in trade kit who
will now also be tainted as 'supporters' of a drug ridden 'sport'.
