Yeah, but not all of TDF riders can pretend to have had a recent tumour. 
You've still got some EPO at home ? I might know some people who could be interested.  |

This isn't created by L'Equipe. It was created by the UCI.

ouch for millar, worse than schleck.
Lance as a 4 - how can the uci not suspect him? oh wait...
A lot of this seems a little odd - unless the UCI know more than us - which seems unlikely.

6 is almost certain doping according to CN, so 4 is still a pretty bad score

The strangest thing for me with Armstrong is who else he is ranked with. Evans, Fedrigo, Vogondy.

but there are some people you would expect to be below him.

An important thing most of you are missing.
It`s not the level of suspicion. Then Lance, Vinokourov etc, would be higher for sure.
It`s just the last blood pass test before the Tour. So in this test the result was like this not the suspicion at all. Probably they have other lists or at least priorities that are also important for the number of tests during the next stages.
But still I am quite surprised that riders like Gerdemann or Martin are quite suspicious in the blood pass testing.

No, it's their overall rating of the blood passport as of July 2010

Not surprised to see Barredo with 10. After what he did to Rui Costa...  |

Yes, that`s what I meant, but probably explained a bit weird.
My main point was that it`s just the blood pass and nothing else. No previous doping cases or other things, that could make them suspicious. So it can`t be the only list for them. |

So, using this scale Barredo wins then. Well, 10 is bigger than 9

Lol
I still feel kinda relieved that the dutch score pretty low. Only Kroon got a 5.
Also Cancellara got 0
I'm also surprised that some riders got high rating despite being sucky all year. Popovych, Kroon and Seeldraeyers to name a few.

Sky and Millar quick to respond.
Sky's Wiggins received a five and Thomas a six.
"When they say G's [Thomas - ed.] ranked six, if they are using the biological passport information, that implies that G's under suspicion. From my side of things, knowing G, I'd say he's certainly not under any suspicion from the team or me. i.e., he doesn't take anything," Sky's sports director, Sean Yates told Cycling Weekly.
"It's tarnishing the reputation of riders like G, teams like us and it brings into question the whole credibility of the UCI. Sometimes there's stuff leaked, and it's crap, but you can only go by what you hear. Hearing this kind of stuff is not good, it makes us look like amateurs."
Yates said he's unsure if team principal, David Brailsford has already been in contact with the UCI about the list.
"Having that stuff leaked to the press is not good. Once again, the UCI's credibility - if this information is correct - is drawn into question."
Brit David Millar of team Garmin-Cervélo received a four.
"What is this list based on?" Millar told Cycling Weekly. "Look at some of the guys there: I can tell you for starters, I'm clean as a f***ing whistle.
"I understand if I'm number four because of all my misdemeanours in the past, done on suspicions from my past actions. The only injections I've ever had are from the UCI, so it's a bit mad that I'm a four."
"This list clearly shows it's a far from perfect model. What's going on? That's two things: the UCI, somebody, people, need to be fired for this, and a major investigation needs to be going on into what exactly they are doing regarding the biological passport, how they actually came up with this list."

Martin, me too. Gerdemann, the only two riders in the world that would surprise me less would be Hoogerland and Terpstra

Just out of curiosity, why Terpstra? I've heard about Hoogerland before, but haven't really heard or read anything about Terpstra.

Radioshack as the dirtiest surprises me somewhere around zero.
That said, a lot of the values just show that this can't mean all that much. The Schlecks so low for example.
