Strange to imagine that the Tour de France is now under the jurisdiction of the anti-doping authorities of any nation on the Tour route! <BR/><BR/>I was thinking that if Italy could ban Spanish riders because the Tour is passing through Italy, perhaps Spain would retaliate when the Tour passes through Spain. Only ... the Tour is NOT passing through Spain this year. Isn't THAT interesting! I'm not a Tour historian, but I can't remember a year that the Tour did not cross into Spain.<BR/><BR/>It's probably just a coincidence.<BR/><BR/>Good think the Tour of California is not racing past MY home this year! Otherwise I might have to impose a few requirements of my own. (I have nothing particular in mind at the moment, I just don't want to feel left out.)Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976868079076669453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-676258462293229672008-01-12T03:52:00.000-08:002008-01-12T03:52:00.000-08:00wschart,I completely agree with those sentiments.A...wschart,<BR/><BR/>I completely agree with those sentiments.<BR/><BR/>And even entertaining the idea that their movements should electronically tracked.

OK, well maybe for something like the military or the CIA, but come on!! for just a racing license.<BR/><BR/>Then there is the question of whether or not such a surrendering is legal. I'll leave that question for the legal eagles here.wscharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580006249706915137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-77213216610266809922008-01-11T13:42:00.000-08:002008-01-11T13:42:00.000-08:00This is very, very fine analysis.

Floyd has often used the term "if this was a normal case in a court of law...." Well, his, and many other similar cases, aren't. That's what you give up when you agree to the terms of a USAC (or other federation) license.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Judge Hue.Eightzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326301095221867947noreply@blogger.com
