The key is to just sit on evidence until someone wins so you can **** all over their victory and the race in general.

Exactly. I'm not saying it's true, I really, really hope not, and the timing is a bit shady. Who knows though...
As much as I wanted Cadel to win, I certainly wouldn't wish for it this way...

Contador plans Friday announcement
By VeloNews.com
Filed: August 8, 2007

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador has scheduled a press event this Friday in Spain, but says he will decline to answer reporters' questions after he reads a prepared statement.

Contador issued a release Wednesday notifying media of his plans to read a statement at the offices of Spain's national sports council - the Consejo Superior de Deportes - in Madrid.

Contador will be accompanied by Discovery Channel team director Johann Bruyneel.

Since winning the 2007 Tour de France, Contador has been the subject of heightened scrutiny regarding his possible involvement with Eufemio Fuentes, the Madrid doctor at the center of the Operación Puerto doping investigation.

While both Fuentes and Contador have denied working together, German anti-doping activist Werner Franke has reportedly provided investigators at the World Anti-Doping Agency with documents detailing the rider's work with the notorious doctor.

Contador's Wednesday news release did not state a reason for the announcement, and added that the Discovery rider "will not offer a press conference after the reading of the communiqué."

What does Germany have to do with a French race, a Spanish rider and a Spanish criminal investigation?

That's easy...

When questioned on how he came into possession of such documents, Franke refused to give away any information. "They simply landed in my briefcase, that happens sometimes, and I promptly handed them over the Bundeskriminalamt {the German national police - ed.}".

Either, Disco busted him themselves in an internal test, or he is going to admit to having dealt with Fuentes when he was with Astana. Probably the latter. Seriously Astana is team dope and Contador is ex Astana.

I can see the Astana admission with the emphatic, "Not doing it since then!". But I can't see him doping and Disco being at the press conference.

Kashechkin tests positive, suspended
By VeloNews.com
Filed: August 8, 2007

The Astana cycling team announced Wednesday that Kazakh Andrey Kashechkin tested positive for homologous blood doping following an out-of-competition test in Belek, Turkey on August 1.

Kashechkin was suspended by the team pending the outcome of his B sample, should he request that the follow-up test be conducted. Kashechkin's teammate, Alexander Vinokourov was suspended following his own positive for homologous blood doping - the use of a donor's red blood cells to enhance endurance - during the Tour de France.

"The positive test by Kasheckin is another blow to the credibility of this team," said an Astana spokesperson. "This new blow will only embolden us to impose even more draconian measures for a clean sport."
