Team Phon(-ey)ak

With the Fab Four (Hamilton, Santiago Perez, Oscar Carmenzind, and now Sascha Unweider; with Santos Gonzalez in the role of Pete Best) being suspended from racing or sacked by the team, how can the directors and owner of Phonak not plead mea culpa? It seems that their inclusion into the Pro Tour ranks came at all cost.

BERN, Switzerland (Reuters) - Switzerland's Phonak cycling team has suspended rider Sascha Unweider following a positive A-test for high levels of testosterone. According to a statement put out by the team on Monday, the 25-year-old Swiss was tested by his national cycling association on February 14.

In keeping with UCI guidelines, Phonak said it was suspending Unweider immediately but would wait for the B-test before deciding on further action.
