I think he can do it, but I'm not sure he'll get the chance in the next year or 2. Disco might give Levi the helm for the Giro this year? However, Basso might ride super-domestique and "do a Cunego" on Levi.Vino said:
Yes, I think his DNA sample will clear him. Why would he submit it voluntarily if he knew that it would provide a 100% link to the Puerto investigations. As for which team...probably a continental outfit.Vino said:
Yes, if he's healthy. Ale-Jet relies too much on his train, which gets disrupted more often than not. Boonen peaks for the Classics and McEwen has Hushovd covered, as well as the other 2nd tier sprinters like Benati, Eisel, Freire etc etc.Vino said:
No, too expensive. Can you imagine the number of appeals?YMCA said:
Not to be a pessimist, but realistically, it could be argued that a large fraction of the pro peloton is involved in some sort of illicit drug use or "doping". I remember an audio interview with Greg Lemond in which he points out the considerable improvements in the performance at the pro level from the mid-eighties to modern day, of which only a very small amount can logically be attributed to gear and training (due to equipment standards imposed by various cycling governing bodies, and natural anatomical abilities). There seem to be so many red flags that point to doping in the sport (puerta, Hamilton, 06 tour, etc.), and not enough evidence to the contrary to convince me that many of the athletes are completely clean.helmutRoole2 said:
