Olaf Ludwig today questions why only 40 or so riders were named from a much bigger list when Puerto broke. This is the first time I've heard such a large number of riders mentioned. Does anyone have any information about this. Considering the farce the investigation has become, imagine the even bigger mess we would have had if nearly 300 riders had been suspended.
What does he think of Operation Puerto? "You have to say that it is all a joke. It has been a catastrophe for the riders involved, for the teams, for the race organizers and for all of cycling," he said. "The names of 40 or riders were directly made public, but the other 240 were never publicized. Now the individual federations are trying to deal with it. It is a farce."
