Might be the least surprising news I've seen.

Astana...dirty...ya don't say...

16 World Tour teams makes more sense anyways.

Sigh.

Not even sure where to begin. Not really a surprise. My general feeling is that the default state should be suspect riders of doping. Thus, when I hear things like this like, it just makes me think... yeah, Nibali was probably juiced. Not that I didn't think that before, but it certainly is another stone on the scale.

Not disagreeing on Nibali, but tough to say the dope contributes to his ability to get a bike downhill.

Watching him descend is pretty incredible.

True, and he sure rode those cobbles pretty well :)

Forget about Vino. The sport would be better off discrediting people like Thor Hushovd, who is now pimping his autobiography. Apparently during a decade when nearly every single rider who placed in the top ten of a grand tour was caught doping or connected to doping, Hushovd was unaware pro cycling was chock full of dopers. In fact he was surprised that Armstrong doped. Really! Thor is either a liar or the dumbest man in cycling.
