Big fine for Astarloza


Disgraced ex-Euskaltel rider Mikel Astarloza not only faces another year on the sidelines, he also has to pay a fine worthy of the 'hefty' tag, it was announced today by the UCI. 154 570 euros is the price he's got to pay for cheating. Don't know why the fine is so much bigger than normal in Mikel's case, but, considering the damage done to the sport and his team, I think it's fair.

It depends on the salary. I think he earned more than the other guys. Most of them were smaller guns.

Yeah, it depends on their salary and the prize money acquired after the test was done I think. But it still seems quite much to me, I didn't think he earned that kind of money in a year, but I guess he did:)
