The ASO is giving the jersey to a rider that WAS NOT tested, after stage 16. Unless he was a random. The money deal is interesting too. Are they going to screw Floyd out of all his money???cat2bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793506247703536677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-79729722680824708692007-10-14T10:33:00.000-07:002007-10-14T10:33:00.000-07:00I'm making this comment without reading Dugard's p...I'm making this comment without reading Dugard's post....I've read enough with him back and forth on Floyd, and have lost my appetite for his opinions. Between TBV and Sara Best's First 100 miles, I find consistent opinions, that more interesting to read.cat2bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793506247703536677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-61818740826640528732007-10-13T16:41:00.000-07:002007-10-13T16:41:00.000-07:00ASO will be giving Oscar Periero a yellow jersey n...ASO will be giving Oscar Periero a yellow jersey next week - anyone know if they will also be giving him the GC winners prize money? Will he be distributing it to his teammates? And will UCI be updating the points lists for 2006 because of the change? <BR/><BR/>And while we're on the topic, isn't these prize money awarded for stage wins in Le Tour? What happens to the prize money form Floyd's S17 win? IIRC, he also won the final time trial. Prize money for that? And wasn't these some issue with exo-T in B samples from that? <BR/><BR/>Even more questions: aren't we supposed to test the GC leader after every stage? So by awarding the yellow jersey to Periero, doesn't he "win" without the associated testing? If Floyd should have been DQed after stage 17, why wasn't Oscar tested after stage 18?<BR/><BR/>Maybe we need to start thinking about testing everyone, with procedures that are reliable. Expensive? Yeah. My heart bleeds for the ASO and their lost profits. They sure didn't care about what they did to Floyd with their sloppy shenanigans.Eightzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326301095221867947noreply@blogger.com
