Crocodile tears. It's about time Lavenu took some responsibility for what his employees get up to.

That's all Greek to me.
Indeed and Ag2R's third in 2 years.
Hmmm, almost Astana-like consistency

Only most of them. EPO, HGH, salbutamol, corticosteroids... - all have legitimate medical applications.

Ah, but are they prescription only?
I mean is it legal (Plod won't kick my door in) for me to procure and ingest or whatever.

Google "buy EPO online" and see how many results you get. I think it inhabits the same grey area as so-called "legal highs".

Ντρέπομαι, ντρέπομαι, ντρέπομαι. Νομίζω ότι δεν είμαι πλέον σε θέση να κάνει αυτή τη δουλειά εδώ, σε αυτές τις συνθήκες. Είναι πάρα πολύ δύσκολο. Πάρα πολύ δουλειά. Πάρα πολύ από μια επένδυση ζωής. Το ποδήλατο είναι η ζωή μου. Δεν μπορώ, δεν μπορώ. Είναι ένα μείγμα από ντροπή, την προδοσία, η ομάδα θα είναι βρώμικο, δεν είναι δίκαιο. Κάλεσε, έκλαψε, αλλά εξηγήσεις του δεν μου ταιριάζει, του είπα ότι πρέπει να πούμε την αλήθεια, δεν κρύβονται πίσω από δικαιολογίες
Is this better?

In case that's no joke: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I believe I'm no more capable of doing that job, in these conditions. It's too hard. Too much work. Too much investment of a whole life. The bicycle is my life. I can't do more, I can't do more. It's a mix of shame, of treachery, the team's going to be dirtied, it's not fair. He called me, he cried, but his explanations don't suit me, I said to him that he should tell the truth, not take refuge behind some excuses." The punctuation's not great but I don't think it's great in French AFAIK.

Genuine lack of French?
''I'm ashamed, ashamed, ashamed. I don't think I can continue to do this job under these conditions. It's just too difficult, There's too much work. Too much investment in it over the whole of my life. Cycling is my life. I can't take any more, I just can't take it. It's a mix of shame and betrayal; the team's name will be dirtied and that's not fair. He called me, he cried, but his explanations don't work with me. I told him that he had to tell the truth and not to hide behind excuses.''
Oh bugger, @mjray has just done it! Oh well, I'm going to hit send anyway!

No worries @deptfordmarmoset I'm a poor translator so you corrected a couple of bits where I was probably too literal.

Wow - it is 43 years since I did French at school and I was able to understand that, apart from a couple of words which were easy to guess in that context!
As for the doping ... pah! Catch the cheats, ban the cheats. Hopefully, the percentage of cheats will keep on going down so the remaining cheaters stand out and can be watched more closely.
