Date of birth missing[edit]

I have a really hard time figuring out Roberto Heras' birthdate. First it was Jan 01 OR Feb 02. I then looked on his homepage robertoheras.[com,net] and it said Feb 01. But Yahoo! Sports claims it's Feb 21?!?! Shouldn't we just leave it 1974 (without specifying the actual date)?

Yeah, I had the same problem when i was tyring to compile this article. I've seen it as 1/2 and 2/1, and have no idea whether that is in m/d or d/m format. 1974 might work best for now.

If there's so much disparity in the sources it should be left at 1974. See also WP:NPF and WP:BLP#Privacy of personal information. Ruodyssey (talk) 08:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Vuelta victories[edit]

The article says he's won the Vuelta three times, but has he officially been disqualified from the 2005 race yet? As I understand it, there is an appeal taking place. Shouldn't it be four victories until the outcome of his appeal?

Not only was there an appeal taking place, Heras won it. (source: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/8851/Roberto-Heras-2005-Vuelta-positive-overturned-by-Spanish-court.aspx ). He won it on a procedural mistake, but he still won it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.211.216.99 (talk) 00:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
