Ivan Basso, champion of the 2006 Giro D'Italia and current Discovery Channel rider has been benched pending further investigation into alleged blood doping from the Operacion Puerto scandal. Apparently they have now decided to take all the frozen blood and test it against the DNA of suspected cyclists. Based on what I've read, Jan Ullrich has already been found guilty.
What pisses me off about Operacion Puerto is that only the names of pro cyclists have been released, even though other Olympic level athletes are involved. Why choose only now to test the DNA? This whole thing stinks worse than used chamois cream (she said ineloquently, her voice dripping with sardonic disdain).
