Ullrich fans are getting angry
- Thread starter cyclingheroes
- Start date
Not only are fans ****** off with the UCI's inability to deal with the entire OP affair, there is growing disquiet at federation level.
The UCI President is coming under more pressure.
Watch this space.

The UCI Pro-Tour is challenged by the organisation of race organizers at the European Commision. The UCI is in big trouble (Puerto, Grand-Tours, now the other Race Organizers..)limerickman said:

There's trans-national consensus, at national federation level, that this entire affiar has ruptured the sport more seriously than any doping scandal could possibly have done.
I was speaking to "the powers that be" here - and was told that other national federations are canvassing as we speak to get this matter sorted.
Seems that there is cross national support to tell the UCI to lift these ridiculous bans.

Possibly.
I'm told that McQuaid realises that this case is a non-event.
Whether he is being forced to adopt a line by others at the UCI, is the issue.
Byzantine.
At the moment the Swiss are the only ones who are still planning to open a disciplinary case. I hope to get the "court version" of Puerto soon, after that we will know what exactly was manipulated. I am negotiating about that, hope it will work out...limerickman said:
But for now... I have to sleep a bit, want to do some serious traing tomorrow!
Yeah, big training block scheduled for tomorrow here too.
It's important to get a lot of miles in between now and the Christmas.
Keep pedalling!

For fear of hijacking an Ullrich thread, I think Landis is innocent...
But I've often thought this...imagine if you're peddaling your **** of throughout the Tour, you win, but in the back of your mind you're thinking there's a good chance that you'll be accused of doping for no apparent reason...how horrible must that be? Even if you win you're not really sure untill a couple of weeks...or even months have gone by...that you're the real winner.

Think about: you want to win the Tour and worked long and hard for it and you don't even get the chance to start...Jaguar27 said:
If Ullrich's case is dropped, it would be a very brave team that would have the courage to sign him?cyclingheroes said:
Its such a shame to see great talent going to waste.
