Don’t forget all the doping must not have been attractive to Discovery

No question. Ironic that all the doping didn't phase T-Mobile one bit, they re-upped their sponsorship of one of the druggiest teams in cycling without batting an eye.

Speaking of, anybody know if there's been any definitive confirmation about George Hincapie's reported move to T-Mo? I was kinda hoping there was still a chance Slipstream could snag him.

This news makes me very sad. To think that Hincapie, Leipheimer, Contador, Poppo, and the others are now left without a team after all they have been through together is awful. Plus- Johann! he has got to be one of the sport’s geniuses!
Frankly, I think T-Mobile re-upped b/c in Europe, cycling is a much bigger deal. Just like Barry Bonds’ sponsors are not backing out- the potential reward is greater than their concern about the drugs.
