    “It was difficult after the long and intense season he has had … we have spoken and concluded it was best that he doesn’t go to Mendrisio,” Spain manager Jose Luis De Santos said in a statement on the Spanish federation website

    bound to be some speculation of other reasons though

    Well there are accusations of a cover up over the Spanish drugs affair. Read into that what you will?

    If you're world champion you have to wear that jersey and not your team sponsor's jersey.

    BigJohn, I don't understand your point. Any team would love to have a world champ and or national champ kit as it raises the profile of the team. The world champ jersey will be incorporated into the trade team kit.

    That institutionalised drug taking and cheating is widespread amongst Spanish sportsmen?

    Lots of top pros duck the worlds, always have. Probably got more to do with timing rather than some drug related worry.

    I think one guy in the Tour this year paid a fine each day he didn't wear his nat champs jersey. Its impossible to incorporate a team strip into the world champs rainbow rings, they're huge.

    Samuri is right, there is a big scandal with Nadal (tennis) being linked to the Ferrari affair. Contadors blood oxygen intake levels were worked out to be very high on his incredible climb in the tour.

    Is Lance racing in it?
