It's the amount that concerns me.
Over $3 million sounds like a heck of a lot of "product" for one man.
Either we have Menchov as the bag man for systematic doping,
or as a dealer middle man.
So, a large cog in the machine.
Russia's answer to the Freiburg Phantom.
Possible rider list from "The Clinic":
Denis Menchov
Vladimir Karpets
Michele Scarponi
Alberto Ongarato
Luca Mazzanti
Paride Grillo
Evgueny Petrov
Alexander Kolobnev
Julio Alberto Perez Cuapio
Brett Lancaster
Domenico Pozzovivo
Enrico Franzoi (CX)
Ryan Cox
Vladimir Gusev
Koldo Gil Perez
Roman Luhovy
Sergio Marinangeli
Scott Davis
Massimo Giunti
Antonio Salomone
Tiaan Kannemeyer
Timothy Jones
Ivan Fanelli
Egor Silin
Marco Marcato
Daniele Pietropolli

the ClinicSorry to forget, but can you remind me again what "The Clinic" is.
Thanks, Huw.
Edit: Sorry to clutter the list, this was meant to be a PM.

The Clinic is the doping section of the Cyclingnews forum.
Seems Team Radio Schleck may be a marriage made somewhere other than in heaven.

Are Trek trying to capture some sort of criminal niche market?

One thing confusing me... Rabobank's name was soiled in the Austrian doping ring, thanks to Dekker, Menchov etc.
Why would Denis require to dip his dirty fingers into more than one luckydip?

Published: 22 Sep 2011
With regard to the articles that appeared in Corriere della Sera (09/21/2011), Repubblica (22/09/2011) and La Gazzetta dello Sport (09/22/2011)
- the company called Health and Performance existed from 1996 until 2010: it offered consultancy services to elite athletes, and certainly had nothing to do with doping. I was a consultant for this company, and have always presented regular parcels and invoices, all of which result in my tax return statements.
- my professional activity takes place mainly on the road, with the execution of tests evaluating the fitness of athletes on climbs or flat courses: hence the need to utilize a camper van as a commodity, in order to allow the athlete to take a shower and discuss comfortably about the results of the test. Surely not to "evade the controls".
- I have never been stopped by Swiss Custom Officials, much less with a "bag full of cash".
- I have known for a long time to be at the center of an international investigation moved by several interests, old grudges and "scores to settle", and I knew I would be under surveillance and wire tap.
- the investigators have made several "blitzes", based on imaginative interpretations of interceptions, against athletes and people related to me, which led to nothing but the discomfort and the intimidation of the interested parties.
- my son Stefano is administering a website which offers personalized training consultancy to various cyclists and triathletes; Lance Armstrong is among them.
- I never had knowledge, or availability of access to any bank account in Locarno, let alone "on behalf of certain nominee."
- the measure of "inhibition of attendance" on my persona by the FCI (italian cycling federation) was originally based upon a prosecution's hypothesis that was eventually thoroughly refuted in the course of the court trial: in particular, it resulted absolutely false that I have ever "administered and sold performance-enhancing drugs to several athletes with the purpose of ensuring better athletic performances".
“Rebus sic stantibus“ is written on page 6 of the motivation for the measure, but the facts resulted quite different from those conjectured by the investigations... |
