I just wonder why he came out. Wondered why he just ignored it and let people think what they wanted. Saw a headline that Adelaide is going to sue for the appearance money he got paid. Which shows if he admits the nut jobs will come hunting. I mean he put Adelaide's event on the map 10'000 people turned up to go riding with him.... so should SA give back the accommodation and air fares all the other revenue to everyone who turned up?

If they can't award the tour trophies to anyone else as they have been caught too then was he just the best cyclist at the time? Does EPO give you 10% advantage...So 90% was all him?

Just feel sorry for guys like Cadel who are clean we hope and had to suffer thru this period - must have been a temptation

What makes you think Cadel has always ridden clean? He too is a past client of Dr Ferrari, and strikes me as a little too keen for everyone to "move on" and forget about doping.

I have no evidence he doped, but my confidence he didn't is dented.

Don't forget the locals...
I grew up across the street from a young bloke/family friend, who turned out to be a talented road rider.
He was signed up by a local road racing team (not sure who) and had a good gig going.

Then they started to talk about doping .... The *team* made it pretty clear "get on the juice or ya off the team ...."

My friend then quit the team immediately ..... [Edit: Quit ~2006]
And competitive road cycling - in pure disgust.

Dont think that the *funny-business* is not happening locally too.
