"Local officials with the organizing committee of the Sept. 26-30
championship in Stuttgart, Germany, have mounted a vocal campaign to
have Zabel and Kloeden excluded from the event."

See what fessing up will do for you. You get labeled as "drug-
tainted" and then the "local officials" try to ban you from
competing. What about drug-tainted David Millar?

The UCI has asked the spanish federation to reopen the investigation on
Valverde (Puerto). This means he will not be able to participate in the WC
(as the organizers were demanding).

BTW:

Does anybody knows what is going on with Iban Mayo's B-sample? The test were
suppossed to be performed last week and the results made public on Monday.
But nothing has been reported...

The Germans have gone off the deep end again. At least the mania this
time is only causing casualties among cycling folks. Lots of examples,
but this is just another:

Doping allegations against German U23 coach

They picked this guy to replace the last guy who was "suspended" on
accusation.
Just march off anyone even accused to prison. There WILL be good
order!!

I feel that Zabel should compete in the World's. He was not forced
into confessing. However, Millar confessed then served a suspension.

Well, Millar confessed once he was in police custody. Zabel voluntarily admitted
using EPO in a press conference. And it was for something that happened 11 years
prior. He certainly never tested positive for use of EPO (no, there were no tests for
it back then, but still). Statute of limitations, anyone? So keeping Zabel from
participating in the Worlds is pretty lame, I think.

The germans are damned hypocrites. The Bundesliga is dripping with dope
and the players are idolized as gods. Cycling tries to clean up its act
(somewhat) and are punished for doing so.

I am ashamed to live here.

It is strange that they're being *so* agressive about this for cycling. Like
they're trying to prove that they're the biggest, baddest anti-doping enforcers.

Aren't reformed drunks and smokers the most obnoxious in chastising those who
still use?

Kloden ? All he's been accused of is not being strident enough
in condemning others.

What a bunch of hyppocrites. As I said before I hope Valverde wins
and gives them an Arndt as he goes over the line.

They run the tests over and over until they return a positive.

I see the the UCI have done their normal guilty by suspicion
number on Valverde. In that case I hope Zabel wins and gives
them an Arndt. And if he comes 2nd I hope he gives them two Arndt's,
prefarably up Paddies rear orifice.

Maybe give him a Wellens instead.

Yeah, the Italian and Spaniard federations are just as bad but
criminal investigations have tied their hands.
