I think the fact I am currently reading "From Lance to Landis" is adding to my cynicism at the moment.

Having said that the 2011 version of professional road cycling is doing its best to annoy me.

Surely if the UCI suspect he is guilty and there is evidence to substantiate it, the Spanish Prime Minister should have no say in whether the ban is overturned?
