Cadel Evans working with Ferrari.
- Thread starter thecyclist
- Start date
In any case having a relationship with Ferrari proves that he is just as bad as the likes of Ullrich, Basso, Rasmussen, etc.Cobblestones said:
Not that I blame him.. I didnt expect him to be clean, none of the top riders are. But working with Ferrari means that he is not just the "minor doper who is as clean as it gets in the top and just uses the basics to be able to contend" that I made him out to be.
Working with Ferrari means you're doping to the max. Just like the rest of em.. No blame.. But also no more heroic stories about the "clean guy who can still get by!" please..
Agree, but I would like to know if this information about Cadel has been around before. It is certainly new to me. With just one news outlet reporting, mistakes can happen, especially in the present atmosphere. Things are wild now, a supposed raid on Barloworld quarters, a possible positive test, speculations abound, reporting gets sloppy.Trajectum said:
Doesnt matter what Boonen says/thinks/wants to think. Ferrari is not cheap and he is extremely good. If he has/had a working relation with ferrari it speaks for itself. Though once again.. I wont flame any riders for being involved in doping programs, in the current climate I believe you have no choice if you want to be a contender.saluki said:
Unless the whole ferrari relation story is absolute bollocks of course.

There's almost nothing there in that story. If they actually had something on Evans wouldn't they be shouting about it?
Well there is if they are basing their story on reliable information. They write the following:rob of the og said:
Gegen den Australier liegen keine Verdachtsmomente vor. Was dem Lotto-Fahrer angelastet werden muss, ist die Zusammenarbeit mit dem ehemaligen Armstrong-Coach Dr. Michele Ferrari. Wie alle Fahrer beteuern, beschränkt sich die Tätigkeit von "Dottore Epo" rein auf das Erstellen von Trainingsplänen
which means:
Against the Australian there have been no suspicious incidents. What the Lotto rider can be accounted for however, is the workingrelationship with the former Armstrong-coah Dr. Michele Ferrari. Like all the riders claim, the practices of "Docter Epo" have been solely the drawing up of training programs.

The usual Google test throws up nothing.
But I await disappointment tomorrow when doubtless he will be forced to admit that Ferrari was 'just preparing some training plans'. We've been here too many times to think that there'll be a different ending, haven't we?
