Ricco & Schleck
      #37107 - 09/10/2008 10:05

Luxembourg's anti-doping agency are to futher investigate Fränk Schleck following his payments to and advice from Eufemiano Fuentes. Seems they have decided that he has a greater case to answer and will pursue it.

The evidence about the transfer he gave at a hearing last week were insufficient to declare him innocent, and will now fall under greater scrutiny.

Ricco, however, tested twice more at the Tour, once before it even started, the other on the first rest day!

Wonder if this is all going to lead to Puerto III? God I hope not.

I didn't buy the whole "I paid 7,000 euros for advice" story - epsecially as Riis is involved. I think they're right to investigate further.

What do you mean, If Riis is involved. Riis never tested positive, he owned up and gave back his yellow jersey from 96.
He runs one of the first teams to be up front with there riders blood profiles. He sacked Basso as soon as he was implicated in Puerto. He suspended Schlek as soon as there was a doubt.
I dont see how much more the guy can do, unless you have something else on him?

€7,000.00 for adivce. He could have read the fitness features in CW and that would only have cost him the price of the mag

Here's some advice, Frank. Think a better excuse up next time.

Right, that'll be 7,000 euros, please.
