Any Basso updates?
Wasn't IB supposed to undergo a hearing today? Does anyone know of anything?.....did he show up, and if so, did he submit samples for a DNA test? Gotta admit that even though I have my suspicions about him, there are always at least two sides to a story, and I feel a little bit bad for him....he may have been pressured in ways that no one is aware of.

If it goes anything like Scarponi they wont be taking DNA it is just a hearing. Scarponi did agree to submit a DNA sample at his hearing though.
It would be foolish for Basso to not submit one...the UCI has his DNA anyway from a recent out of competition blood test and they said if he doesn't submit they will use that...but they prefer if he submits.

I used some of his blood to thicken a sauce I was making for dinner.

Oh, yes...I speak from experience. The hoops you have to jump through just to set a date are comical. Not to mention costly.
