Reading tweets and news today, it would seem Vini Fantini's DS was extremely reluctant to take him on, but Di Luca brought the sponsor Aqua e Sapone with him, so on he came. Money talks - the irony being that the dopers normally chase the sponsors away, rather than the sponsors bringing the dopers with them.
Having read Tyler Hamiltons book I would suggest the entire team knew he was on something ......
This is a completely retarded comment. It's sort of like saying having read Mein Kampf, I would suggest all Germans hate Jews and Blacks and believe they are the pure race.
I take it then you have never read the secret race or watched and listened to L.A i'n his come clean interview?
If you had you would understand that to be able to dope, with all the tests and security around it , then Di Luca had help getting his ability enhancers and that means people on the team and in the peleton knew he was doping.
As it was said above ....sponsor came with him and money talks (or in this case ensures silence)
And now santambrogio .......now tell me my comment is still as you described....
obviously you have no idea about doping in cycling
Given that stage 19 has been cancelled, maybe the riders could all have a "slap Di Luca with an old chamois" day?
