Oh, no. First Vino, now this. I feel sorry for whoever does win this year (young Contador, perhaps?) since there will always be that suspicion that they would not have been able to win if the “real” leaders had stayed in the race. A mess all around.
I think every single driver on the tour is doped. The ones who don’t get tested positive just have better doctors and/or more luck. I’m absolutely sure this was the case for the last 30 years (yes, Lance was doped as well. Maybe bad stuff was the reason for his cancer). Over the last few months we had a lot of public “coming outs” of former riders in Germany that I don’t believe any one of them anymore. Rolf Aldag, a very likeable down-on-earth guy, was among them.
