Are you sure that the UCI is really going after the drug cheats or might it actually want them to be found in the Tour because that taints ASO? <a href="http://www.32sixteen.com/wp2008/07/23/performance-enhancements/" rel="nofollow">http://www.32sixteen.com/wp2008/07/23/performance-enhancements/</a> Oh, and if we’re on about ‘consistency’ the UCI expected the UCSF to pursue Floyd Landis for breaching UCI regulations in a race run under UCI rules with no financial support.
