Sorry, Spanish only ATM again. A Kazak oil company, BTW, looks to be the new sponsor if the above is true.

Don't know if it will help. Velonews is reporting that ASO (TdF) is looking into excluding the Spanish teams from this years TdF. Sponsor or no Vino looks to be in a bad position

Legally he'd probably be in the clear barring his name being on the "list" of those doping. However, this will definately follow him round for most likely the rest of years in saddle...depeding on just how much the scandal grows

Remember Le Blanc has kept riders out of tour just because they were under investigation. Being convicted isn't necessary to be excluded from the Tour. If Liberty becomes the 06 Festina no one on that team will be riding in France this July.

Now all Le Blanc has to do is dig up dirt on Ulrich, Basso, and any other non-french rider and the French may actually win this year!
I can't stand Le Blanc..... not only for what he says about people... but the crappy calls he makes.
