Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Road.cc, it's not a failed drug test but an 'adverse analytical finding' - I think the nuance in this case is important as we all know how this is being reported in the wider press. I'm not saying that there aren't significant questions to answer but those of us who care about cycling as a sport would probably like it be accurately reported.
Incidentally Paddy Power can go fuck themselves. A grubby little company profitting off of others misery - no surprise they jumped on this.

The miniscule presence of Clenbuterol didnt stop the sanctions to Contador.
It will be interesting if Froome is treated differently !

Its a first to see the news on the BBC and silence on here. I think his title defences may have just gone west...
