I just heard on France2 that Zabel's green jersey for 1996 will be erased by
ASO in their history due to the doping admission.

I wondered where a promoter of a UCI race arrogates the power to revise the
final standings of an approved race. It seems that if one looks, in the
future, to see who did what, then the only official records are UCI, as they
may decide to annotate, but not that of the promoter.

This rewriting of history is getting really silly. But it must be admitted
that politically correct originates here, so I guess the outcome is in
evolution.

So, which is the better launch for a rant; Stalinist photo editing to remove the
offender or the ancient Pharoah having the heretic's name chiselled from the
monuments?

Hell, let's just go with both and point out that both Stalin and the Pharoah
look silly now.
