Servus!
This is HUGE news here in Europe. I hear tales of the Mercatoni Uno guys tossing boxes and boxes of unidentified medications out hotel windows during the raid.
I also heard last night that over two hundred examples of banned substances were siezed during the raid, but this is seriosly unconfirmed, so don't whine at me if it ain't true!
I agree that once the UCI can prove three offenses that you should be banned from licensed riding. Cycling was just getting up from the Festina scandal, only to be slammed to the floor again with this. Truly a shameful and dark hour for professional cycling.
