Found this photo on Facebook could not resit republishing, how stupid can these two be ! I was at Mori for the  ITT and briefly met De Luca, just shook his hand and wished him luck!
Luca Scinto the Team Manager is said to be devasted both have had a past were given another chance with this team

 A little bit of text from cyclingnews.com.................

Citracca, team manager Luca Scinto and team doctor Daniele Tarsi were appearing before the Italian Cycling Federation’s disciplinary committee on Monday afternoon to discuss the Di Luca affair when news of Santambrogio’s positive test broke.
“[Santambrogio] didn’t respond to my telephone calls, so I sent him a text message and told him to be a man and respond,” Scinto told Gazzetta dello Sport. “Then he called to say ‘sorry, I betrayed you.’ And this is enough for him? He’s putting 38 people out into the street.”
Scinto said that he already tackled Santambrogio on the doping rumours circulating about him in the build-up to the Giro after the dramatic upturn in his performances following his transfer from BMC during the off-season.
Vini Fantini’s doctor Daniele Tarsi, meanwhile, claimed that the team could not be blamed for Santambrogio’s actions as his biological passport was in order.

What a Trophy !

Now the TDU, Qatar and Oman are behind us riders will start preparing for a Classics season or an attack on one of the Grand Tours.
The Giro starts on May 4 and all the talk has been about Wiggins and Froome, it appears that Froome will be the leader for Sky at the Tour and Bradley will contest the Giro and if succesfull could he have a go at the Giro/Tour double? or so some of the rumor mills would have you believe!
Wiggins would not have it all his own way at the Giro either, last years winner Ryder Hersjedal is certain to defend and there are plenty of other names that could front including last years 2nd & 3rd places Joaquim Rodriguez & Thomas de Gendt.
What will Nibali do with his new team ?
Other riders that should not be discounted include Rigoberto Uran (7th & Best Young Rider last year) Paolo Tiralongo, Giovanni Visconti or even Taylor Phinney ?
What will Contador do ? I believe he will miss the Giro and save it all for the Tour .Will Basso or Sanchez front?
But a rider can not win alone, all of the above will need a strong team to put Wiggins under presure, Is there a Team that could do this? The sheer strenght of Sky could see them win two Grand Tours?
I believe Cav.will front for another slant at the sprinters jersey, which he lost by one point last year!
There is a strong line up of sprinters in 2013, especially with Griepel looking strong but Australian sprinters may have a difficult year.
The Giro is one of my favourite sporting events of the year and 2013 looks set to be a ripper !!

WADA: We would welcome Armstrong talks

Howman open to discussions with Armstrong

David Howman, Director General of the World Anti-Doping Agency, has said his agency would welcome any approach from Lance Armstrong in relation to information he can share on his career and doping in cycling.
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by USADA in October of last year but told Cyclingnews that he was willing to cooperate with WADA under the umbrella of a truth and reconciliation amnesty. While WADA have welcomed the sentiment, they have told Cyclingnews that it’s far too early to discuss particular aspects but stressed that an independent commission could be set up.
“I’m happy to talk to Mr Armstrong at any time,” Howman told Cyclingnews.
“If Mr Armstrong is prepared to talk to me in that regard then the sooner the better. That’s my reaction to the interview on Cyclingnews.”

Do you agree with Graham Waston

Watson: Armstrong "did what he had to do"

Photographer defends banned ex-pro

Photographer Graham Watson has defended Lance Armstrong, saying “Outright angels do not win a Tour de France. That is the domain of the most talented, hard, driven, ruthless and selfish riders. Lance did what he had to do to win, and he clearly did it very well.” Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012 and was handed a life time ban.
Watson, who has long been associated with Armstrong, admitted on his blog that “I’m not likely to utter any bad words about a cyclist who helped so much to escalate my earnings way back then (....) Don’t go looking for criticism because it just won’t be there – if Lance did what he’s been accused of doing, then that’s his issue to deal with.
“All I do know is he’s not the manipulative ‘bully’ certain members of the media have tried to portray him as in their tabloid stories. He was ambitious, ruthless, highly talented, tough, he knew how to lead his teammates and intimidate his rivals to make sure he won. But is he any different from a President, an army General, a corporate leader of industry, a career politician, or any other sporting great?”
