Saunier-Duval to become American Beef

[John the Monkey]

According to The Roadbike.com.

...whilst Credit Agricole and Gerolsteiner struggle to locate new sponsorship ( from cyclingnews )

 

[zimzum42]

that should go down well in Korea!

Isn't the sale of American beef banned in Europe because it's full of drugs? (Certainly used to be banned).

I can't think of a sponsor with a worse image for the new open, clean era of cycling. An industry that pumps drugs in one end and sprays bullshit out the other.

i can. amgen sponsor the tour of california, and have, among their product portfolio, several epo products.

I'm surprised at Gerolsteiner more than the others.

As for Amgen; I'm not sure that a pharmaceutical company can be held responsible for athletes misusing one of their products that has valid therapeutic properties for certain illnesses.
