grrr, this gets to me. whatever happened to innocent till proven guilty. what sort of reality i’m in where i want to believe that the cyclists in the Tour are all clean is one question, but that is not what this is about. I would like to think that team CSC are clean, all of them. and i hope that they are, not in that their being so will make me right, but in that they will be doing the right thing.

they are saying that he might be have taken EPO. of course he might have. and i might be a slobbering tri-tentacled green alien. but the proof is in the pudding.

whether this story has any consequential guts is another matter. and i have some pie in the oven and i’m perfectly ready to eat it when it’s shown that i have to. but until then i shall protest.

but whatever happened to these men being innocent until proven guilty? seems like cnn just wanted a story. cycling has had enough of doping. we don’t need more rumours of this type, we know that there are problems. rumours like these don’t help. they just make people grumpy, like me.
