If he's admitted it, it's hardly being yanked, it seems fair enough.
It wasn't fair last year when nothing was proven, but this changes
things considerably.

Could be a very interesting Tour for Mick Rogers and Cadel Evans ...

How about some reality, like cookery tips *live* from Fountain Gate
Krispy Kreme?

Or even more budget-conscious, for Stage 5, SBS go live to Beer Can
Hill where Bikesoiler & moi are cooking up a storm with popcorn,
sampling the latest batch of wheat bier homebrew and pushing the cats
off the lounge.

Toot, toooot. chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga. That's the sound of the
Cadel train leaving. This year I'm getting on the Mick Rogers train.

He's admitted involvement. I'd call that proof.

I'd call it a confession, not proof. Was the evidence so overwhelming,
or had he just had enough of it all?

No need to even ask such a question. In the absence of good reason to
impugn the confession (you know - duress, insanity, [x] years served at
Guantanamo Bay .. ..), the law recognises that no _further_ proof is
required. The confession taken as the ultimate, unimpeachable proof.
