Bruyneel statement on exclusions
Statement from Johan Bruyneel-Team manager, Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team
"On the eve of the 2006 Tour de France all of the Team Director's meetto decide on the current situation regarding the riders named in the Spanishdoping scandal. The directors unanimously decided to uphold the codeof ethics that was signed by all teams on January 1, 2005 which statedthat no team would allow a rider to compete while under investigation inany doping affair. This is certainly an unfortunate situation forall of professional cycling, not just those teams and riders involved.And even though the top pre-Tour favorites have been suspended from competition, all of our Discovery Channel riders continue to maintain their focus on tomorrow's prologue Time Trial. The entire team has prepared meticulously for this race as they have over the past seven years and we continue to have high expectations about our chances in this years Tour de France."
