Retired Astarloa gets 2 years anyway. Any pro riders left in Spain?

I’m wondering if there are any Spanish professionals left… OK, cheap shot – there are plenty. Astarloa was a star, though, if not as big a catch as Valverde was – or perhaps Contador will be (maybe). We’ll have to wait for Contador’s outcome and possible appeal.. perhaps in time for Le Tour 2011? 

SBS: Cycling Central : Astarloa banned two years, fined

Spain’s 2003 world road race champion Igor Astarloa has been banned from cycling for two years and fined 35,000 euros for doping, the International Cycling Union announced.

“The International Cycling Union (UCI) announces that following its request for proceedings against the Spanish rider Igor Astarloa Askasibar for a breach of the Anti-Doping Rules on the basis of his biological passport,” the UCI said in a prepared statement. “The Disciplinary Commission of the Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) has decided to sanction the rider by a two-year suspension from 26 November 2010 and €35.000 fine.

UCI names names in biological passport program

It had to happen. It’s almost Le Tour time:

Lampre’s Pietro Caucchioli and Fuji-Servetto’s Ricardo Serrano have been suspended their teams after being named by the UCI as riders who showed abnormal values in the year-old system. Both teams stated that the riders showed the abnormal results during the 2008 season while riding for other teams.

Note that these are ‘abnormal values’ alone – no-one has been “caught” with a specific needle in their arm, or whatever.

But wait, there’s more:

Also named were former world champion Igor Astarloa, former Saunier Duval rider Ruben Lobato Elvira, who is without a team for this season, and Italian Francesco De Bonis (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni – Androni Giocattoli).

As I say, there may be a smoking gun, but nothing is “proven” beyond the fact that the blood values that are monitored were shown to vary over time in a substantial and unusual way that is usually indicative of doping. The ball is in the riders court to defend themselves, rightly or wrongly.
