[font=Verdana]wonder if they'll just xerox Basso's statement... that seemed to work out pretty good for them the last time...
if he wants to end it he should demand his blood be tested by the Spanish Federation... he's said he doesn't know who to give it to, i bet if he called up [censored] Pound he's know what to do with it...
