The Hog, at it again!

(Johan Bruyneel, "The Hog",  in the spotlight again)





















Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder (or desperate) for Johan Bruyneel, the French publication L'Equipe reported that the recently-sacked Directeur Sportif could have somehow been responsible for Frank Schleck's positive control for the diuretic Xipamide earlier this year.

Indeed, an unknowing Schleck would have been given the diuretic and "sabotaged" by Bruyneel as a form of revenge or retribution for wanting to part ways with the Radioshack-Nissan team.  After all, with Frank's suspension, none of his UCI points would have been valid if he switched over to another team.  (Lest we forget, Jakob Fuglsang - who was sidelined by Bruyneel for most of the season over this same UCI points issue).

What do you think?  Is this too far fetched?  

After everything we've seen and read in the last few days, I wouldn't put anything past "The Hog".
