ASO Banns Astana from its Events
Press release

A.S.O. has decided not to invite Astana on the events that it organises in 2008, based on the damage caused by this team during the 2008 Tour de France and to cycling in general, both in 2006 and 2007.

The Astana team has indeed betrayed, last year, the confidence of the organisers that had invited them based, already, on their faith of a renewal announced by its leaders.

However, as the team has once again changed, A.S.O. will remain careful at the efforts that Astana will set up to live a 2008 season without affairs or suspicion, and could then reconsider a possible candidacy for its future events.
