Friday morning at 9:30 (Europe time) the names of 56 or 58 cyclists in the Operation Puerto scandal are supposed to be made public by Spanish authorities. Meanwhile, names have continued to filter out in the press. Not surprisingly, all riders continue to proclaim their innocence. Twenty-two of the riders are supposed to be on Tour de France start lists. The names that have leaked out so far include former and current riders. These are the names at this point.

On a lighter note, this story has provided a good reason to use the always humorous online translation tools. I always like when a person's name gets translated in an odd way. Among the good names in this sad story is Unai & Aitor Bear, instead of Unai & Aitor Osa. Angel Casero was Homemade Angel. Santiago Botero is translated as Santiago Wineskin maker. And, my personal favorite is Angel Vicioso becoming Vicious Angel which would be a rather good name for a wrestler or rock band.
