[edit] Athletes associated with Michele Ferrari

Is the "Sportsmen" section supposed to refer to cyclists associated (or believed to be associated) with Ferrari? Ian Glenn 02:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I changed "Sportsmen" to "Athletes associated with Michele Ferrari". Should names in this list be referenced? I've seen Cadel Evans name come and go from this list (with no comments), as well as the addition of Michael Rasmussen, which I've only seen in the media as pure speculation (does speculation count as association?) scotts 20:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I added Evans and I came back today to remove his name since he himself corrected the Suddeutsche Zeitung in his diary. Luckily enough, it was already gone. Still, it's possible he has seen him, if only once, but a coach (doctor) is a coach (or doctor), and not someone you "know". Evans himself called Ferrari "controversial", so this really contradicts what was in the press.

Most of the other names have been added by me too and were found on the very decent French 'Cyclisme et Dopage' website and the Cyclingnews website. Whether Rasmussen was amongst them, I should verify, but I believe he was not. Perhaps someone was overenthousiastic. Speculation only counts as association if it's experts saying so (like Werner Franke: he lost the trial from Ullrich, but who will be closest to the truth in the end, when Swiss bank accounts are checked). (for those interested: Ullrich did "confess", just look at his replies to some of the last letters he got - it's between the lines, but it's clear). And what Moser is shouting these days, I can not understand either (but we all remember when EPO-tests were being developed, Riis was the first to deliver his blood for these purposes - the guilty man is the first to help the police search the wrong guys). Goodnight and please discuss before making these kind of unfunded changes.--Selach 23:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Drferrari.jpg

Image:Drferrari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
