No problem!

Wow, Frankie Andreu??? I wonder if this will affect his position at OLN...

I know!!! That's what went through my head, that's why I was so surprised. Well, 2 reasons. He seems like he'd be one to avoid that - and I tend to believe what he said, a few occasions to 'survive'. And also, because of his spot at OLN. I really enjoyed his reporting, whenever they get former riders to help with the commentary, it's always a plus (and he's kinda cute!).

I hope his 'coming clean' will be a plus for the network and the sport, and not a negative. Considering the reputed levels to which doping supposedly occurs, it could be turned into a positive. I hope so. The more who come clean and denounce it, the better it will be for the future of the sport, and the riders. Of course, I expect the Frenchies to have some fun with it. Since they haven't had any riders finish more than a stage or 2 near the top, they won't be scrutinized the same way, so I expect they will flame on.

"I think it's a pretty nasty attempt by The New York Times to link me to doping through somebody else's admission. You have to read way down in the article until Frankie says, 'I never saw Lance do anything.'
