    Looks like the blood passport has nabbed another one. Might explain his falling out with Rabobank last year.

    Boonen ( He only did coke )
    Blorg ( Dark Choccie isn't on the banned list yet )
    RAAM (KitKats either )
    El Tonto ( as long as he's home for 4PM )

    Shane Stokes says he was done for Dynepo. This is great news. I don't think they had a test for it until now.

    [silly_question]

    How long do you have to be 'off the stuff' before it's gone from your body and the tests?

    Maybe it's liek the B][COLOR=red]L[/COLOR][/B drivers in Ireland ... 'OK, we're not supposed to in the 1st place, but you should have told earlier that they'd be testing'

    [/silly_question]

    It depends on the drug. EPO doesn't last long in your system. CERA hangs around for longer. Not sure about Dynepo.

    He's actually better off now Charly Wegelius is taking his place , would have been a beter choice in the first place.

    Robbie Hunter makes a good point. If they're getting Dekker for Dynepo done back in 2007, lots of guys will be "sweating bullets".

    Unusual though, a rider is nabbed for a previously undetectable drug 4 days before the tour... a warning from the powers that be perhaps ? I wonder will a few contenders develop sudden injuries or family issues and be unable to start on saturday.

    I think they've been chasing him for a while now. They were probably racing to get the Dynepo test ready before the Tour, like the CERA one last year. They're being pretty cute though, only announcing they've developed a test after they start busting people.

    But looking at who withdraws will be very interesting indeed.
