link.net... Zabel in CyclingNews: He was unable to control his voice or hold back his tears when he spoke of his son Rick.

"It doesn't make any difference whether it happened one time or over two years, the point is that it was forbidden to dope, and I doped. I doped, I lied and I apologize for that." This is what it will take if there is any hope to clean up the sport. Despite what Coggan and Coyle, et al. might think, the performances of the past 15 years aren't the result of training and naturally increased efficiency. And why did Telecom turn to EPO? Was it because they say how suddenly a guy named Indurain went from super domestic to ace climber and time trialist? Or that a guy like Chiapucci could suddenly make the Tour podium when he wasn't good enough to even sit on Roche's wheel when climbing? Thank God our American riders are clean. ;-) He sounds like all those weepy ex-models who are tearful about all the dieting they had to do to slip into their slinky outfits. |

This is what it will take if there is any hope to clean up the sport. Grown men crying? The fault lies with the rules, Brian. Where is the virtue in making rules that cannot be fairly enforced? IOW, making rules that cannot be enforced by simple (i.e., not open to "interpretation") testing for prohibited substances. Despite what Coggan and Coyle, et al. might think, the performances of the past 15 years aren't the result of training and naturally increased efficiency. And why did Telecom turn to EPO?

Or that a guy like Chiapucci could suddenly make the Tour podium when he wasn't good enough to even sit on Roche's wheel when climbing? If the guy or the team next to you can dope with impunity, the rules (and enforcement of them) are at fault for creating the situation in the first place. The power lies with the rule-making owners of the sport. They're doing a mighty poor job of administration. The riders are scapegoats. You didn't mention whatsisname. Is the fixation over? --D-y |

was he a real man last year with his holier-than-thou BS about all the
dopers? he was always one of my favorite riders, doped or not, until then. when Der Spiegel did their "haben Sie schon gedoppt" questioning (see YouTube) ... it was obvious in the look on Zabel's face that he had. Voight too despite all his protestations. |
