More Cycling Fallout...

Today, more names were dropped by El Pais, the Spanish newspaper in regard to the Cahors affair. They are all BIG names, most planning to ride on Saturday when the Tour de France begins, or so they hope.

El Pais has alleged that Jan Ullrich, Roberto Heras, Oscar Sevilla, Joseba Beloki, Santiago Botero, Santi Pérez, Tyler Hamilton, Quique Gutierrez and Angel Edo are all mentioned in the 500 page report that will be delivered to the Spanish Secretary of State for Sport.

An interesting aspect of this comes into play when the TdF arrives in Spain for a stage ending in Val d'Aran for the 11th stage, on July 13. It's suspected by the media that riders involved might be taken in for questioning by the Spanish police, the Guardia Civil, when they arrive there.

Hey, on a bright note, Astana-Wurth have been given the green light to race the TdF by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after appealing the ASO's attempt to exclude them.

Gotta love the drama!
