A spokesman for Belgian super team Quick Step firmly denied links to doping practices Thursday after police arrested a dozen people following raids which netted large quantities of banned doping products. The regional prosecutor's office, after initially saying the raids were on homes of members of the Quick Step team, refused to name any of those arrested, the team who employed them or the type of products uncovered. Quick Step spokesman Alessandro Tegner claimed none of the team's riders were involved, and that their implication in the investigation is the result of a major

Belgium's enfant terrible of professional cycling Frank Vandenbroucke is recovering in a Milan hospital on Thursday after an apparent suicide attempt. Earlier in the day the Italian press agency Ansa reported that the 32-year-old was in grave condition but his Acqua e Sapone team said later that he was "out of danger" and "completely conscious." Vandenbroucke did not start this year's Tour of Italy, which finished on Sunday, after failing to recover quickly enough from a knee operation in February. He was said to have suffered from depression for several years. He had yet to make

The T-Mobile team has opted not to select Ukrainian time trial specialist Sergei Honchar for next month's Tour de France following a suspicious blood test last month. Honchar, the winner of two time trial stages in last year's Tour, was sidelined from T-Mobile’s Giro d'Italia squad last month after a blood test showed “abnormalities,” suggesting that he had doped. T-Mobile manager Bob Stapleton said the one-time Soviet rider, who will turn 37 four days before the July 7 start of the Tour, will not race for the team next season. "A blood health check showed abnormalities four

German cyclist Erik Zabel, fresh from admitting he took EPO (erythropoietin) in 1996, announced on Tuesday that he will not compete in the road race at next year's Beijing Olympic Games. Zabel, 36, met with the president of the German Olympic committee (DOSB), Thomas Bach, and DOSB general secretary Michael Vesper in Frankfurt on Tuesday before announcing his decision. The six-time winner of the Tour de France green jersey confessed he took the banned blood-booster EPO in 1996 - one of seven former Telekom cyclists, including 1996 Tour winner Bjarne Riis, who have admitted to using

Jonathan Vaughters says the future of Slipstream-Chipotle is secure for the 2008-09 seasons. While Vaughters and Slipstream Sports chairman Doug Ellis currently shop for a title sponsor, the team has guaranteed funding to continue with their ambitious goal of pushing the U.S. squad into the Tour de France and the ProTour league within two years. “We have cash in hand to continue through 2008-09 no matter what,” Vaughters said. “Whether we find a big sponsor or not, we’re around next year and the next.” Unlike most cycling teams, which require a major title sponsor to pony up a large
