Thomas Dekker to Garmin-Chipotle

Via SportWereld: Thomas Dekker onderweg naar Garmin-Chipotle.

I'm not going to try to pretend that I understood the whole article, but I was able to gather that Thomas Dekker will most likely be heading out Garmin-Chipotle way next year. Thomas Dekker, who was uninvited to his country's Olympic squad and subsequently broke with his team Rabobank, is an interesting choice for Garmin-Chipotle.

Garmin-Chipolte has a strict anti-doping policy & a stringent in-house testing program while Thomas Dekker, according to the UCI, returned an anomalous blood-test result. Please note that an anomalous blood-test result is not a positive/non-negative test result and that thus far, Thomas Dekker has never been suspended for a non-negative test result.

Dekker dropped from Olympic team

From DutchNews.nl:

Cyclist Thomas Dekker has lost his place in the Dutch Olympic team, reports ANP news service.

The 23-year-old cyclist is out of form and virtually asked to be removed from the team, Olympic coach Egon van Kessel told ANP.

Ouch.
