Now, this is when things could get interesting:

The organisation of the International Professional Cycling Teams has announced that all it’s member teams will cooperate with the Operacion Puerto investigation by providing DNA samples to the Spanish investigators, including the Discovery Channel team of Ivan Basso. “All the teams concerned, including Discovery Channel, will make available DNA samples of riders named in the Operation Puerto file to the Spanish prosecutor,” the statement said.

The IPCT, which last month threatened to exclude the Discovery Channel team based on its hiring of Basso, has backed down from its stand in a meeting in Bruxelles today. “After a long discussion, the general assembly decided not to exclude Tailwind Sports (Discovery Channel) from the IPCT because of the hiring of Ivan Basso,” read the statement.

Oh, please don’t break my heart…
