Read between the lines, its a challenge.
You reckon Big Mig was clean?
He's my number 1 cycling hero, but I don't reckon he was clean...
Have heard plenty say the same, and indeed his increase in performance one of the primary reasons why Lemond decided to knock it on the head.
.......before he got caught too?

I think the implication is that the UCI would withdraw from WADA oversight and hence as a sport they would not be able to be part of the Olympics.
We'll see but I think it's an absurd idea personally.
More likely in my opinion is that if something sticks to the UCI itself as involved in wrongdoing/coverup, there will be refactoring within the UCI.

That's surely a distraction to the main point. When you have the evidence you have to proceed until the end, otherwise no justice is done, no message is sent and the public remain unenlightened. If they have to declare no winner for those seven tours then so be it.

QOTD (from cyclingnews.com):
Another French cycling celebrity, Bernard Hinault, gave his very pesonal view: "I don't f***ing care. It's his problem not mine. It's a problem that should have been solved 10 or 15 years ago and that wasn't."

No, I wouldn't go bail for him, either.
When it comes to cycling heroes, although he can look a bit of a drip, I'd have to go for Cadel Evans. Impossible to believe he would cheat.
love the bloke - most of the time anyway.Cool.
Hadn't thought of it before, but I'm looking forward to other peloton exs feeling free to speak their minds.

Hmm , unlike athletics and swimmimg the Olympics is not regarded as the pinnacle in pro-cycling. One way or the other pro cycling is going to change, I would like to think in the way you suggest, recent history however does not install me with confidence.

It's quite a stretch to get to that conclusion from the UCI statement. That's not reading between the lines, that's just making stuff up from scratch. There is no way that UCI will risk Olympic status, even if the WADA code chafes occasionally.

Not the pinnacle? Two things:- 1) the riders who contested the road race and the time trial might want to argue with you on that point and 2) who do you think oversees track cycling, the Chuckle Brothers?
