the very last blog on professional cycling...for awhile

ok, so...discovery team has disbanded.....discovery team as in the team that lance helped to form after u.s.postal pulled its sponsorship.....and now with the 2007 tour win under its belt with alberto contador....the team has dissolved....this was not news ot my spouse, who insists that lance's parent company out of austin, tx that actually owned half of the discovery team has its own cycling team separate from discovery.....and that this team will eventually go public as the new american team...all this is too complicated, given that floyd landis's 2006 win is still in litigation, and alberto contador himself has been banned from upcoming races because his name was on a list in the possession of a known blood doper.....hopefully everything will be sorted out by next july.....assuming that the tour sponsors will forget and forgive this years numerous scandals and remember that throngs of folks still showed up to watch.....
