Sounds like the UCI has finally got some focus and direction in this matter. Dropping those incompetent and corrupt fools at AFLD is a godsend to pro racing.

woo hoo Lance wins again.

An AFLD report on testing procedures during the race suggested Astana, the team of winner Alberto Contador and seven-times champion Lance Armstrong, were given preferential treatment

"I cannot accept AFLD's criticism"

Criticism not welcome here. Integrity is preserved.

"I got rid of AFLD. What do you want me to do next, Master?"

It is not just the UCI, but the Tour that wanted them out. Funny the UCI and TOUR are on the same page here.

Well, he did want to buy the Tour.

Odd how it looks like he bought the Tour off, though.

Dave.

AFLD have had a huge funding cut and wouldn't be capable of fulfilling a proper partnership. Doesn't stop them from testing on their own turf though. And why would WADA be a 'better' i.e. more malleable partner? Or does Fat Pat assume that, because they made nice noises about the passport, they aren't going to do their job properly?
