Default In the News: Astarloa free to go

From the article:
---------------------------------------
World champion Igor Astarloa and Cofidis have parted company, the team
announced on Friday. Embroiled in a doping scandal, the embattled
French team suspended all its activities two weeks ago and now states
that the Spaniard is "free to join another group."

.. . . Press reports have persistently linked the 28-year old native of
Ermue with Lampre. The Italian outfit, currently missing the services
of injured leader Francesco Casagrande, would then be able to pencil
in Astarloa for next month's Giro.

Press reports have also suggested a return to his previous team,
Saeco.

Mostly old news; the new development is the report that a contract is
already being drawn up by Lampre. Personally, I think he should ride for
Lampre as a freelancer in LBL, the way that Felix Cardenas rode for Labarca
in the Vuelta a Espana last year while waiting for his contract to be drawn
up.
