UCI chiming in

The UCI is promising to throw it's weight around! They are behind an effort that would allow Alberto Contador to defend his 2007 TDF title. The UCI president (Pat McQuaid) basically said that the ASO decision was unjust and unjustifible and was made by people who do not understand the sport! YOU GO PATRICK!

Will this shake things up a bit?...I hope so but we will have to "weight" (haha) and see!

Meanwhile Johan (Atana -general) has been meeting with the team sponsors to make sure they are still behind the team and of course they are. They realize how ignorant this stance really is and that it is political and NOT ABOUT THE FACTS! Is it because Astana has a team that could win and the French can not stomach an American on the podium again?......MAYBE or maybe they have a power ego that is fueling this. Come on people...there are plenty of other teams out there that have very tainted past and are still racing! Double standard?
