Why is Allan Davis still riding?
In document 23 of the puerto files it says he used EPO and IGF-1.

Re: Why is Allan Davis still riding?
He was cleared by the Spanish and he is not a threat to win any major races.
I think mostly the latter.

Essentially, the decision as to who can cycle and who can't cycle, after being named in OP, resides with the respective riders federations. In the case of Ullrich and Basso, the respective federations took a particular decision : in the case of Davis and perhaps Contador, the respective federations took a different line.

Bruyneel used his famous "look 'em in the eye" test and determined he was clean.

I don't think you follow cycling very much. Paolo Bettini is the second highest paid pro ($3.3 million) because he wins 1-day races. These races are HUGE in Europe. BTW, Tom Boonen's #3 and Pettachi #4. Both guys also win sprints but the 1-day race capabilities are a big factor. |

Bettini? Who is taliking about Bettini? We are taking about why some get ousted and some don't. Bet I know more than you think I know! I can't always say what I hear so you win. I know nothing about cycling and I am out of this topic. Take over for me Lim I am too ignorant to argue.
