LeMond on Contador
http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,...-23218,00.html
------- LeMond said: "If Rasmussen got caught, and if you want to be equal, you have to implicate other riders, too. "You have a lot of riders against whom there's a lot of evidence and relations to certain doctors. Those riders are getting away with it. "Alberto Contador and Rasmussen are at 60kgs each and both are climbing as fast as Pantani did. That's a red flag right there," he said in a reference to the late Italian Marco Pantani, a superb climber who won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia in 1998. "Contador has been involved in 'Operation Puerto'," he added, citing the doping scandal that rocked Spain. "I'm not pointing fingers at Contador. I'm just saying that if you point fingers at Rasmussen, you have to look at the riders next to him." LeMond said he thinks the Tour de France would be better served if it didn't name a champion this year. "I would prefer to see a non-Tour de France winner," he said. -------- |

LeMond on Contador
"I'm not pointing fingers at Contador. I'm just saying that if you point fingers at Rasmussen, you have to look at the riders next to him." "The fact that I am pointing my finger directly at Contador should in no way be construed as me pointing fingers at Contador." Lemond is the fingering champion, for sure. |

That jackass seriously needs to shut up. After he wasn't able to win anymore, he'd like it better if no one else could either. So lame. I have nothing but contempt for him. |

If cycling really want's to be a clean sport it needs to start taking the few people telling the truth seriously, insted of dismissing their motives. Jachkse, Simioni and Mazano's are the only heros. We still have an all dirty podium: Evans and Leipheimer are clients of Dr. Ferari, Contardor is deeply involved with operation puerto and rumord to still have Manolo Saiz as his personal adviser. Rasmussen is out because of a case of extremely bad press handling. Acording to CSC's pressagent, Brian Nygaard, Rabobanks pressagent Jacob Bergman has done just about everything wrong. Nyggard said that he would have called an pressconference before the tour when Michael Rasmussen got his 2nd warnming from the UCI and told the press about the warnings and the exclusion from the dansih national team. After that there wouldn't have been a case. I'd guess a team like Discovery would have handled it simmilar to what Nygaard's suggesting and steared clear. Nygaard says that he has even tried counceling Jacob Bergsma durring the last two weeks but Bergman hasn't been open to suggestions. -- Morten Reippuert Knudsen :-) http://blog.reippuert.dk Merlin Works CR-3/2.5 & Campagnolo Chorus 2007. |

If they had done that then Rasmussen never would have started. In an era where riders are banned on suspicion that isn't a viable strategy. Bob Schwartz |
