Does He or Doesn't He?

So, Ivan Basso is a free man.
The Giro d'Italia winner has left the CSC team in the wake of doping allegations that resulted in him being dropped just prior to the start of this year's Tour de France.
Basso was cleared to resume racing last week when the Italian Olympic Committee recommended that all charges against him be dropped.
But CSC still didn't want him back.
"It has been a very difficult decision, but both parties agree it is time to move on," said CSC team manager Bjarne Riis.
Basso, who is 29, told French sports daily L'Equipe on Monday that he has been courted by Discovery Channel.
"They made me a concrete proposal but I am open to other solutions," he said.
It doesn't sound like Our Boy Lance's old team made Basso an offer he couldn't refuse.
Basso said there was also a chance he could join an Italian team.
