Velonews post-they just don't get it
Do they?
The German rider, who was fifth in the Tour's general classification before withdrawing, was at a loss to understand how other cyclists can be involved in doping. "Vinokourov is accused of doing a blood transfusion, but he knew he would have been tested," Klöden said. "It's like driving at 150 kph, while you are restricted to 80 and there are speed cameras all around you. The same with Matthias Kessler. He had a testosterone level higher than we've ever seen before. And that between two races where he was challenging for victory, and would have known tests were likely. Nobody can be so stupid." Even more ominously, he raised the possibility of riders' careers being sacrificed in the current dispute between Tour organizers ASO and the UCI. "I know it sounds fanciful," he said. "In cycling the UCI and ASO are fighting for the Tour. People are plotting things; everyone is wishing the worst for everyone else. A lot of money is at stake. What if some people are manipulating things, ruining things, in order to take control of what's left?" 'I have seen the enemy and they are us'..is what they need to do. It is not criminal elements..but the rider next to you that is doping, you dope. |
