Ivan Basso’s suspension is finished in October. He will ride for Liquigas and his first race will be the tour of Japan (or some such race). It will be interesting to see how he does without the EPO. Given his style I always thought that if he was using EPO he would be very bothered by its absence. I hope I am wrong here, because he always seemed like a good guy (cheating with Spanish doctors notwithstanding).


I guess I should add that he has denied cheating, but the credibility of the denial took a dive with the discovery of bags of his blood in a fridge in Spain, IMO.
