If
you fell into a coma six years ago and came around yesterday it would
seem as if nothing had changed. Manolo
Saiz was appointed as a team preparador and hours later
one of his old riders, whom the Italian federation but failed to ban,
won Milano-Torino. Amid the wreckage left by Saiz, Alexandr Vinokourov
created the Astana team and yesterday the UCI slipped out another PDF

On
Wednesday, news broke that Astana rider Maxim Iglinskiy had tested
positive for EPO. Iglinskiy,
winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2012, provided a sample on August 1
that revealed an adverse analytical finding for the blood-boosting
substance. A week earlier, he’d ridden into Paris as a member of Vincenzo Nibali’s
Tour de France-winning team. The next day, he finished 26th at Clasica
San Sebastian. (velonation.com)
