Yet another doping threat (Viennese Blood)
I just browsed some European news outlets and came across the following story (in German)
'Wiener Blut' It is mostly about athletes from other endurance sports, but of course, there's always a few cyclists: Quote:
You recognize the names of course even if you don't read German. From what I gather, it concerns blood doping. And of course, everyone named in the article denies any involvement. Seems another pile of steaming shit is headed straight to the big ceiling fan. |

Only Totschnig denied. The others weren't asked. The main suspects are the who is who of German cross country skiing... |

Re: Yet another doping threat (Viennese Blood)
from feltet.dk:
According to German TV-station ARD, Rasmussen, and his two old Rabobank teammates Boogerd and Menchov, have been clients for an Austrian bloodbank Also Georg Totschnig is mentioned as a client for the same bloodbank http://www.feltet.dk/index.php?id_p...&id_nyhed=10431 |

It will be very interesting if he was a client in 2005. Sastre will finally get a GT--unless Sastre was also a client, in which case you need to go down to Tom Danielson in 8th place to find someone not involved in OP. I think this is the same operation I posted a little info about a few days ago.

I think but I don't know. Inability to read German makes it difficult for me to say. It would be hilarious if it were a different one.

Re: Yet another doping threat (Viennese Blood)
Vienna blood bank: German tv station names cyclists - not biathlon athletes and cross-country skiers http://www.cyclingheroes.info/id1100.html
As always: denial, denial, denial..... |

Re: Yet another doping threat (Viennese Blood)
Well, looking at how well the German biathlons have done so far, not a big surprise at all. I wonder what kind of treatment Ole-Einar Björndalen is having... Or the Norwegian skiiers...

Holy smokes you're right. I never thought about that. Maybe he can win it this year, too. Make it 5 in a row. And then next year and the year after. 7, the magic number. Yes, the scandal is mostly about cross country skiers and biathlon. I don't follow those sports very much. Norway always has a few good skiers. And whenever they lose, they blame the Finnish for doping (which is probably true). I have a hard time to believe that biathlon or cross country are clean. But I would assume it's an even 'smaller' sport than cycling, so, less important. Except, of course in Germany where it is huge. If German TV stops broadcasting cycling, biathlon etc. they'll end up with no sports coverage at all. |
