Of the Spanish world champs team? any ideas?
I think it was his decision wasn't it?
“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
is he the guy who got trown off the Tour a couple of years ago for drug taking or am i thinking of someone else?
I think he's the bloke who won some big race or other this year.
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?
Because Lance said so!
Probably because he won't win it
