Quote from: Ian H on 26 May, 2011, 01:47:04 pmAll this is nearly as fascinating as the racing. With all the accusations about UCI accepting money to conceal failed tests into the bargain, I'd say it's seismic for the sport.Will we see a breakaway movement?

It's a great sport, but the politics are fascinating too.Its all about money, though. The Swiss gov are embarrassed by the various sports bodies registered in Switzerland that are being exposed. Be interesting to see if this issue and the flexing of muscles between teams and the UCI gets things going

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency brought formal doping charges against former cyclist Lance Armstrong in an action that could cost him his seven Tour de France titles, according to a letter sent to Armstrong and several others Tuesday.As a result of the charges, Armstrong has been immediately banned from competition in triathlons, a sport he took up after his retirement from cycling in 2011.In the 15-page charging letter obtained by The Post, USADA made previously unpublicized allegations against Armstrong, alleging it collected blood samples from Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Armstrong has never tested positive.
